Faulty Electrical Panels

If your electrical panel is over 25 years old, it’s important to let us inspect it. Older electrical panels can lead to numerous electrical disruptions and are a fire hazard. Some specific We advise updating faulty electrical panels include:

Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) Panel

FPE panels were commonly installed in homes from 1950 until 1980. However, due to design and manufacturing flaws, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission deemed them unsafe.

Zinsco Panel

Zinsco panels haven’t been sold since the 1970s. Their design flaw allows power to flow when breakers are turned off.

Pushmatic Panel

Pushmatic panels were not made with main breaker switches. They have fragile breaker switches that wear down, leading to problems interrupting power flow.

Fuse Boxes

Fuse boxes are outdated systems that were first installed as electrical panels. They can only handle 60 amps, and modern homes need 200 or more amps.
