Panel Safety Checks

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.

The detail

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.

The scope

What's included.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

Why are Federal Pacific (Stab-Lok) panels considered dangerous?

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.

What’s wrong with Zinsco panels?

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.

How do I know which panel I have?

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.
