Unsafe Electrical Panels
Older electrical panels may be unsafe or unable to keep up with the electric demands of modern households. If you live in an older home, your panel was manufactured at a time when houses had less demand for electricity — people didn’t have the large, energy-hungry appliances and electronics we have today.
Consider upgrading the electrical panel when:
- The panel is more than 25-40 years old
- Breakers trip frequently
- The panel is rusted
- You don’t have enough electrical outlets
- There is a burning odor near the panel
- Lights flicker when something is plugged in
- The panel is hot to the touch
- Outlets spark when plugging something in
- You have an old fuse box with fuses instead of circuit breakers
The manufacturer of your panel can influence the decision for replacement, even if it appears to be working. Homes built before 1990 may have substandard panels made by Federal Pacific Electric or Zinsco. Federal Pacific Electric panels will have the name on the cover or Stab-Loc on the inside. The Stab-Loc breakers are prone to failure and may cause in electrical fires.
Zinsco panels have been found to have a design flaw that results in the circuit breakers melting to the main bus bar. This prevents the breaker from tripping and can lead to an electrical fire. Zinsco panels are also manufactured under GTE Sylvania or Sylvania. If you see any of those names on your panel, it is best to have it inspected and replaced.

Meeting Your Current & Future Electrical Requirements
Older panels often lack room for expansion, so if you remodel or buy a large new appliance that requires a dedicated circuit, there may not be room. Upgrading to a new electrical panel ensures that your home has a sufficient supply of electricity for the various appliances, lighting, and devices in your home. In addition, there will be room for expansion to meet your future needs.
Your electrician can inspect your electrical panel to determine if it should be replaced and help you find the best new panel for your home’s electrical requirements. A licensed electrician should install your new panel to ensure that your electrical system is safe and up to code.
