Federal Pacific Panel Replacement in Denver

Is Your Home’s Circuit Breaker Panel Safe?

Electrical panels manufactured by Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) were commonly installed in local homes built in the 1950s to as late as the 1990s. The Stab-Lok circuit panels have been found to have a significantly higher risk of malfunctioning and causing electrical fires, especially as these panels age. While circuit breakers and electrical panels are meant to protect your home from surges, short circuits, and electrical overloads, many Stab-Lok breaks have been found to be defective because they do not trip properly.

If you’ve experienced outages or smoking from your circuit breaker panel, do not hesitate to contact our Denver electricians at Absolute Electrical Heating and Air. We can act quickly to prevent serious damage to your property and your safety.

Investigations into the Dangers of Federal Pacific Panels

Starting in the 1980s, testing by local and federal authorities have revealed that 1-in-4 Stab-Lok style breakers were faulty. FPE covered up this fact by committing fraud. Many breakers labeled up to UL standards were later found to be defective, often after they had already caused electrical fires. While the Consumer Product Safety Commission closed their investigation in 1983, they did not recall the defective breakers and panels, allowing them to continue to be installed in in millions of homes throughout the U.S.

This has led to approximately 2,800 electrical fires every year related directly to malfunctioning FPE breakers and panels. There company’s negligent actions put thousands of homes at risk, which is why it is vital to replace Federal Pacific panels in your Denver home.

How Do You Know if You Have an FPE Panel?

An Absolute Electrical Heating and Air technician can inspect your breaker box to learn if you have a Stab-Lok style breaker or panel manufactured by Federal Pacific Electric. Also, if you are installing a water heater in Denver, you will need to make sure that you have sufficient power from your existing electric panel.
