There’s been a lot of questions about Federal Pacific Electric Panels. The Dallas Morning News ran an article on the potential of fire that these panels possess. As an Electrical Contractor with 27 years experience, I can tell you first hand that these electrical panels are unpredictable and unsafe. We had a customer who was renting a house and was having an electrical problem. We told her it was due to her electrical panel. This Federal Pacific Panel was overheating and beginning to melt. We informed her that she needed to change it. She got back in touch with us Sunday night to schedule for Monday morning to have the panel replaced. We told her we would be there at 9am and she said she had to drop her kids off at school and would prefer a 9:30am appointment. When we showed up at 9:30, she showed up at the same time and we were both greeted by the Fire Department trying to put out the fire in her home due to the electrical panel.
Failure of these panels is not an “if,” but “when.” A quick evaluation by a licensed and knowledgeable electrician can make a big difference. Don’t gamble on your security, call and get the free evaluation today!
