Why Panel Upgrades Matter

Older electrical panels are not only less efficient, but they can also pose serious safety risks. Faulty or outdated panels are one of the leading causes of residential and commercial fires. As electrical systems age, they become more prone to overheating, short-circuiting, and failing to provide sufficient power for modern appliances, potentially leading to hazardous situations.

Upgrading your electrical panel is one of the best ways to protect your property from fire hazards, especially if your panel is made by known fire-prone manufacturers. A panel replacement improves safety, ensures compliance with the latest codes, and gives you peace of mind knowing your electrical system can handle the demands of today’s technology.

Known Fire-Hazard Panel Manufacturers:

Some older electrical panels have been identified as fire hazards, particularly those from certain manufacturers. If your home or business has one of the following panels, an immediate upgrade is strongly recommended:

• Federal Pacific Electric (FPE)
• Zinsco
• Sylvania
• Challenger
• Bryant

These manufacturers have been associated with faulty circuit breakers and other issues that may lead to electrical fires. If you have one of these panels, it’s crucial to act quickly and schedule an upgrade to a safer, more reliable system.
