I'm wondering why I would not use an aluminum cable for my range feeds!? Can you talk me out of it? I've almost exclusively used a 6/3 NM cable in the past when roughing-in a range feed. Now I'm leaning away from that past practice. Check out my latest costs for 125ft of the cables shown below. Tax not included.
At these prices, why use a copper feeder for any other residential work I do?
- $153.48 -- SER 6-6-6-6 AWG Aluminum Round Service Entrance
- $192.89 -- SER 4-4-4-6 AWG Aluminum Round Service Entrance
- $618.49 -- NM-B-6/3-CU-WG-1R Copper with Ground
