We recommend having our electricians inspect your panel if it’s more than ten years old to see if it’s ready for a replacement. You can also watch for signs your current panel is in trouble: frequently tripped circuit breakers, rusted electrical components, humming or buzzing sounds coming from the panel, signs of scorching on the breakers or other parts, and burning smells. Don’t hesitate to call us if you notice these signs—you may need a panel upgrade ASAP. 

Yes: Federal Pacific electrical panels. Although no longer manufactured, Federal Pacific panels were never officially recalled—even though they were linked to almost 3,000 electrical fires because of the 25% failure rate of their Stab-Lok circuit breakers. If you have a panel installed before 1990, check on its inside lid to see if it says Federal Pacific. If it does, call us to have it replaced ASAP. 

Fuse boxes are definitely out-of-date. They cannot handle modern electrical loads without placing fuses in them that are too large and will become fire hazards. Please have a fuse box replaced with a circuit breaker panel. The convenience alone is worth it. 

Rewiring a house is a much larger job than a panel upgrade; they are separate tasks. For most homes, when it’s time to put in a new panel, the rest of the wiring will be in good shape and not need any replacements. Replacing the panel is almost always part of rewiring a house since it’s necessary to meet the new requirements. If you’re concerned about your home’s wiring in addition to the panel, ask us to do an electrical inspection. 

A hot breaker panel is a sign of overheating. You need a replacement ASAP when this happens.
