Panel Replacement

If your commercial or multi-family housing property was built between 1950 and 2000, there's a chance that your electrical panel was manufactured by a company named Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) or Zinsco. Panels manufactured by these companies were found to be defective, showing high rates of sudden and unexpected failure.

The failure of a breaker to properly trip can result in the generation of heat, leading to electrical fires. Due to this fire hazard risk, many insurance providers refuse to issue insurance policies, or do so only at an increased cost.

You may also experience challenges selling property outfitted with affected panels.

Is Your Panel Affected?

If your electrical panels name “Federal Pacific Electric” as their manufacturer, you likely have affected panels. These panels were also sold under different brand names up through around the year 2000. So, even if a panel doesn’t mention “Federal Pacific Electric”, it could be unsafe. If the panels mention “Stab-Lok”, they are likely affected panels and should be replaced.

The risk associated with these panels is so high, that the company is no longer in business due to the defects found in these products. If you're unsure about a panel, contact Kwick Lights and a technician can either evaluate the panel at your site. We can also identify panels from photos.
