The most important box in your home.
Your panel is where problems hide and fires start. We inspect panels for recalled equipment, overheating, double-taps and corrosion, so the heart of your electrical system is safe.
Your panel is where electrical problems hide and where fires start, so it’s worth a real look. We inspect for recalled and known-hazard equipment — Federal Pacific Stab-Lok and Zinsco panels both fail to trip reliably on a fault — along with overheating and burn marks, double-tapped breakers, undersized or mismatched breakers, and the corrosion you get from moisture intrusion.
If we find a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel, replacing it is usually the right call: independent testing has shown both can fail silently, leaving a circuit unprotected, and many insurers now flag them. We’ll show you what we found and lay out the options without the scare tactics.
Independent testing found that Federal Pacific Stab-Lok breakers can fail to trip during an overload or short — meaning the circuit stays energized when it should cut off, which is a fire risk. The failure is silent, so the panel looks fine until it matters.
Zinsco (and Sylvania-branded Zinsco) panels have a known issue where breakers can melt to the bus bar and fail to trip, leaving a circuit live during a fault. Like Federal Pacific, the problem isn’t visible from the outside — it’s found by inspection.
Look at the panel label and breaker brand. Federal Pacific usually reads “Stab-Lok”; Zinsco breakers are often colorful. Send us a photo or have us look during a safety check — identification is part of the visit.
