DENVER, CO – Ace Electric, a licensed electrical contractor serving the Denver metro area, is alerting homeowners to the dangers of outdated Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) and Zinsco electrical panels still found in many local homes.
Federal Pacific panels, commonly installed from the 1950s through the 1980s, use Stab-Lok breakers that have a documented history of failing to trip during overloads and short circuits. Zinsco panels, popular in the 1970s, have breakers known to melt and fuse to the bus bar, preventing them from tripping when needed. Both conditions can lead to overheated wiring and electrical fires.
Many insurance companies now refuse to insure homes with these panels or charge higher premiums. Home inspectors routinely flag them during real estate transactions.
Ace Electric offers panel replacement services with upfront pricing, typically in the $3,500–$5,000 range depending on panel size and site conditions. Most replacements are completed in one day.
Homeowners unsure of their panel brand can contact Ace Electric for an assessment. Federal Pacific panels often display “FPE” or “Stab-Lok” on the breakers, while Zinsco panels may be labeled Zinsco, Sylvania, or GTE-Sylvania.
