Homes in Los Angeles often have outdated wiring and panels that are not designed for modern appliances. If your home has a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel, you need an immediate replacement.
Why are they dangerous? These brands have a well-documented history of failures. During an overload, their breakers simply fail to trip, leading to melted wires and fires. We strongly recommend full replacement, as repairing these panels is unsafe.
Common reasons clients call us for panel upgrades.
Every situation is different. Here are the typical scenarios we handle in LA County:
- Breakers constantly tripping
Your system can't handle the simultaneous operation of the AC, microwave, and other modern appliances. - Panel is hot to the touch or smells like burning
This is a critical sign of overheating contacts and an imminent fire hazard. - Buying an Electric Vehicle
Installing a high-power EV charger almost always requires upgrading an older panel. - Hissing or crackling sounds
Any noises coming from the electrical panel indicate arcing (arc faults). - Rust or signs of melting
Corrosion inside the panel disrupts connections and requires immediate intervention.

Common questions about panel upgrades.
Do you handle the permits for the panel upgrade?
Yes. If the scope of work requires a permit under Los Angeles codes, we take care of all paperwork and pass the inspections on your behalf.
Can you just repair an old Federal Pacific panel?
No, it is unsafe. Replacement breakers for Federal Pacific and Zinsco are unreliable. We always recommend a complete panel replacement for your safety.
What should I do if I smell burning from the panel?
If it is safe to do so, immediately turn off the Main Breaker. Do not attempt to open the panel. Call our emergency service line right away.
