Federal Pacific (FPE)- Electrical Panels Fire Hazard

Pingston Electric, LLC
If your home was built between 1950 and 1990 and is equipped with a Federal Pacific Electric
(FPE) panel with Stab-Lok circuit breakers, you run a significant risk of breaker malfunction and fire.  

Experts warn that if a Federal Pacific Electric panel experiences an overcurrent or short circuit, it may not keep the electrical circuits from overheating and could possibly pose a fire hazard.

A Federal Pacific panel will usually have its name or logo on the front cover. Inside, you will find the name Stab-Lok printed near the center or side of the panel. The intact breakers will have the signature red strip that runs across the front.

If you find you do have a Federal Pacific panel or Stab-Lok breakers, call us today at 321-773-4651 for an Estimate and further information regarding replacement.
