Electrical Panel Replacement for Federal Pacific Panel
Anyone in the electrical field knows the name Federal Pacific or FPE because of their known reputation to fail.
These panels are an extreme hazard according to many experts. Most of those experts have never really seen the field verification that we get on a regular basis. I have personally seen multiple different negative effects from these panels including burnt wires, melted outlets, and several fires.
In one instance I was explaining to a client how an FPE breaker sometimes will not trip the circuit at all when an arc or fault happens. She was in the process of having a kitchen remodel done and didn’t see any reason for the added expense of changing out the main panel until her contractor was cutting through a 2×4 with a sawzall and went straight through a wire.
The breaker didn’t trip, the wire sat there arcing against the wood for quite a bit until the contractor managed to get to the electrical panel and manually shut it down.
She of course immediately called me and had me come back out and replace it right away. These panels are highly dangerous and should be changed out for you and your family’s safety.
Just google FPE or Federal Pacific and see what kinds of hazards are involved in keeping these panels installed. Call or email Lightning Bug Electric today to have your Electrical Panel serviced or replaced.
