...Lowes and Home Depot don't sell Al wire, copper will run around $750 for just the wire.

Interesting. It's almost impossible to find larger wire in copper at the box stores around here, but you have to walk around the rolls of aluminum service wire in the isle.

I guess it must be a regional thing. Here, we have allot of Moble Homes, maybe that's why it's so common here and not there?

Yeah Eddie,
kinda surprised me too, they said it wasn't selling so they discontinued it. They didn't have a large supply of copper either so go figure. Alot of new homes here use Al wire for the service, seems they'd bring it back.
