Aluminium wire has not been totally banned for electrical installations. The main service installations can still use aluminum wire. Connections prepared by electricians have the ends prepared in accordance with the manufactures specifications. The use of aluminum conductors can reduce the total cost of the service by twenty five percent.
You can, but over time the aluminum wire has a bad habit of deforming and causing a loose connection. This can eventually cause arcing and may become a shock and fire hazard. You can only attach aluminum wiring to a receptacle that is marked AL/CU.
In North America there are two standard voltages for the wiring of homes, 120/240 volts.
The outlet may have a higher voltage reading due to an issue with the wiring, a problem with the outlet itself, or a problem with the electrical panel. It's important to have a qualified electrician investigate and address this issue to ensure the safety of your electrical system.
Of course it is physically possible. However, I strongly suggest you check with a qualified electrician who knows the particular electrical and building codes for your area as they can vary. Done incorrectly, you run the possibility of electrocuting yourself or someone else who uses that outlet, or setting your house on fire.
It is not recommended to mix aluminum and copper wiring in the same circuit. This can lead to corrosion and potential fire hazards due to the different expansion rates of aluminum and copper. It is best to use connectors approved for aluminum to copper connections if needed.

The standard outlet wiring colors used in electrical installations are black for hot wires, white for neutral wires, and green or bare copper for ground wires.
To pigtail an outlet for electrical wiring, first turn off the power to the outlet. Then, strip the wires and twist them together with a wire nut. Connect the pigtail wire to the outlet and secure it with a screw. Finally, attach the outlet back to the electrical box and turn the power back on to test the connection.
To identify aluminum wiring in your home, you can check the markings on the wiring itself, as aluminum wiring typically has "AL" or "ALUMINUM" stamped on the plastic covering. You can also hire a professional electrician to inspect your home's wiring and determine if it is aluminum.
To install an outlet in a wall, you will need to turn off the power to the area, cut a hole in the wall for the outlet box, run electrical wiring to the outlet location, connect the wires to the outlet, secure the outlet in the box, and then attach the cover plate. It is recommended to consult a licensed electrician for safety and proper installation.
In North America there are two standard voltages for the wiring of homes, 120/240 volts.
To add an outlet to an existing outlet, you can extend the wiring from the existing outlet to the new outlet location. This involves turning off the power, removing the cover plate and outlet, connecting the new wiring to the existing wiring, and installing the new outlet. It's important to follow electrical safety guidelines and consider consulting a professional if you're unsure.

To install an outlet box for siding, first mark the location on the siding where you want the outlet to be. Cut a hole in the siding using a jigsaw or hole saw. Attach the outlet box to the siding using screws or nails. Connect the wiring to the outlet box following electrical code regulations. Finally, seal around the outlet box with caulk to prevent water damage.
Your GFCI outlet may not be working due to a tripped circuit, a faulty outlet, or a wiring issue. It is important to check the circuit breaker, reset the outlet, and inspect the wiring to determine the cause of the problem.
The outlet may have a higher voltage reading due to an issue with the wiring, a problem with the outlet itself, or a problem with the electrical panel. It's important to have a qualified electrician investigate and address this issue to ensure the safety of your electrical system.
The top outlet may not be working due to a wiring issue, a tripped circuit breaker, or a faulty outlet itself. It is important to check the wiring, reset the circuit breaker, or replace the outlet to fix the problem.
