Signs You Need a Panel Upgrade

Your electrical panel is the heart of your home's electrical system. Here's when you should consider an upgrade.

Safety Warning

If you have a Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or Pushmatic panel, we strongly recommend immediate replacement. These panels have known safety issues and may not trip properly during overloads, creating fire hazards.

Frequent Breaker Trips

If your breakers trip often, your panel may be overloaded and unable to handle your electrical demands.

Still Have Fuses

Fuse boxes are outdated and should be replaced with modern circuit breaker panels for safety and convenience.

Flickering Lights

Lights that flicker when appliances turn on indicate your panel may not have enough capacity.

Home Renovation

Adding square footage, a hot tub, EV charger, or major appliances often requires a panel upgrade.

Panel Feels Warm

A warm or hot panel is a serious warning sign. Contact us immediately for an inspection.

Panel Over 25 Years Old

Older panels may not meet current code requirements and could have worn components.

Panels We Replace

We replace all types of outdated or hazardous electrical panels.

Federal Pacific Panels

Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) Stab-Lok panels have a documented history of breakers failing to trip during overloads. Insurance companies often require replacement of these panels. We strongly recommend immediate replacement.

Zinsco / Sylvania Panels

Zinsco panels (also sold as Sylvania) have similar issues with breakers that may not trip properly. The aluminum bus bars can also melt, creating serious fire hazards.

Fuse Boxes

While not inherently dangerous, fuse boxes are outdated and inconvenient. They typically indicate older wiring that may need upgrading. Insurance companies may charge higher premiums for homes with fuse boxes.

Pushmatic Panels

Pushmatic panels use a different breaker design that can wear out over time. Replacement breakers are difficult to find and expensive, making a panel upgrade more economical.
