Replace Your Old or Unsafe Electrical Panel
Your electrical panel is the control center of your home's electrical system. It distributes power to every circuit and protects your home from overloads and short circuits. When your panel is old, damaged, or unsafe, your entire electrical system is compromised, and your home is at risk.
Electrical panels do not last forever. They can be damaged by water, corrode over time, suffer from loose connections, and simply wear out. Some panels, like Federal Pacific and Zinsco, are known safety hazards that should be replaced immediately. Other panels may be damaged by storms, surges, or physical impact.

We replace old, damaged, or unsafe panels with modern, safe panels that meet current electrical codes. We handle everything from permits to inspections, and we work efficiently to minimize the time your home is without power.

Why Replace a Federal Pacific or Zinsco Panel
If your home has a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel, it is not a matter of if it will fail, but when. These panels are known safety hazards that should be replaced immediately.
Federal Pacific Panels
Federal Pacific panels were installed in millions of homes from the 1950s through the 1980s. The breakers in these panels are known to fail to trip during overloads. The Consumer Product Safety Commission has found that Federal Pacific breakers fail to trip in up to 25% of cases. This means a circuit can overheat and start a fire without the breaker ever shutting off.
Why replacement is essential: The breakers do not provide the protection they should. A circuit that should shut off during an overload may not, allowing wires to overheat and start fires. Many insurance companies will not insure homes with Federal Pacific panels.
Zinsco Panels
Zinsco panels were installed in homes from the 1960s through the 1980s. The breakers in these panels can weld themselves in the on position, preventing them from tripping during overloads. The bus bars can also corrode and create high-resistance connections that generate heat.
Why replacement is essential: The breakers can jam in the on position, making them unable to trip when needed. This can lead to overheating and fires. The bus bar corrosion can also create connections that generate dangerous heat.
If you have either type of panel, call us immediately to schedule a replacement. Do not wait. These panels are serious fire hazards.
Panel Replacement vs. Panel Upgrade
Not sure if you need replacement or upgrade? Replacement is replacing an old or damaged panel with a new one of the same capacity. Upgrade is replacing a smaller panel with a larger one for more capacity. We can assess your needs and recommend the right solution. Many homeowners choose to upgrade to 200 amps while replacing an old panel, getting both safety and additional capacity.
