Two Panels Worth Replacing on Sight
Federal Pacific (FPE) Panel
Federal Pacific panels were installed in millions of homes decades ago, but their breakers are known to fail to trip during an overload or short — which can let wiring overheat and create a fire risk. Replacing one isn’t about age, it’s about removing equipment with a documented safety failure. Many insurers now refuse to cover homes with FPE panels, or require replacement first.
Zinsco Panel
Zinsco panels have the same core problem: breakers that overheat, fail to trip, or fuse directly to the panel’s bus bar — so a breaker can look fine while providing no real protection. As with FPE, this isn’t a question of wear and age. It’s outdated equipment with a known failure pattern, and many insurers treat it the same way — limiting coverage or requiring replacement.
