Do you have an electrical panel from Federal Pacific?
Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) panels, commonly installed from the 1950s to 1980s, are widely considered significant fire hazards due to faulty breakers that fail to trip during overcurrent situations. An estimated 2,800 annual fires are linked to these panels. Experts strongly recommend replacing outdated FPE panels immediately, as they may not provide proper protection.

From new installations and panel upgrades to troubleshooting, repairs, lighting, and smart-home solutions, we deliver clean, code-compliant work with attention to detail and respect for your home, whether its a small fix or complete electrical upgrade, so homeowners can count on quality, reliability, and peace of mind.
If you have a Federal Pacific panel, it should be replaced. Please contact me at your convenience to arrange an inspection to identify and provide a quote to install a modern, code-compliant electrical panel replacement.
