Outdated Electrical Panels Can Be a Safety Risk
Many older homes still have electrical panels that are known for safety concerns and reliability issues. Insurance companies often flag these panels and may require replacement before issuing or renewing coverage.
Common panels that may need replacement include:
- Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) Panels
- Zinsco Panels
- Challenger Panels
- Damaged or Corroded Panels
- Obsolete Electrical Panels
If you’ve received an insurance notice regarding your electrical panel, our team can inspect your system and recommend the appropriate replacement solution.
Signs You May Need an Electrical Panel Replacement
Your electrical panel may need to be replaced if you notice:
- Frequent breaker trips

- Burning smells near the panel
- Rust, corrosion, or visible damage

- Insurance company replacement requirements
Ignoring these warning signs can increase the risk of electrical failures and safety hazards.
