My question is about electrical wiring. My Lexington, Kentucky home has aluminum wiring throughout, and I know that can be a bad thing. How can I tell if it needs to be replaced?

The fact that you have aluminum wiring does not necessarily mean you have to replace it. Without being able to see how your home was wired, I can't give you specific advice on the integrity of your homes wiring. Since you are already concerned about the safety of the wiring, I think it is a good idea to have a licensed electrician look at your home. An electrician can see if there are signs of arcing in the sub panel and receptacles, which is a common source of problems.
