Federal Pacific Panels & Zinsco panels
Hammond Services has a long history of caring for their customers and providing professionalism and expertise. It would be remiss not to inform YOU, our faithful customers, about the reality of faulty or dangerous electrical panels in your homes.
Federal Pacific panels & Zinsco panels are the culprits and they were recalled beginning in 2002. These panels are in older homes (1970’s) and if you don’t know the type of electrical panel you have, or haven’t thought about it since you bought your forever home so many years ago, then how could you know?
You’ve got us watching out for you and your best interests when it comes to safety in your homes. We want to help you get a more reliable, efficient, up-to-code replacement and avoid big problems! How do you know what type of panel you have? Check this out:
- Look for a name label or logo on the front of the panel door or inside the door near the labels for your circuits
- The label (sticker) is bright red or blue
Up to one in four FPE (Federal Pacific Electric) panels have faulty breakers, and it may be more by now. Here’s the truth about these electrical panels and why they’re faulty:
- Arcing at the bus
- Breaker has a tendency of not tripping and possibly causing a fire
- Breakers remain active in OFF position
- Breakers trip by removing the front cover
- Breakers don’t stay tightly connected to the bus bar
- Crowded wires in the panel box
You may not even know if you have Federal Pacific Electric panels! The FPE panel quality is and always has been inferior. See below:
- Most home insurance companies won’t insure your home with an FPE panel
- They can cause electrical fires
- They contain defective Stab-Lok circuit breakers
- A short circuit can damage your system without you knowing
- Almost 3k house fires are caused each year because of the FPE panels
