ELECTRIC PANEL REPLACEMNT
When was the last time you thought about the heart of your home’s electrical system? If your breaker panel is outdated, overloaded, or uses obsolete brands like Federal Pacific or Zinsco, you could be at risk—and your homeowner’s insurance may not cover you. At ALTAMONT ELECTRIC INC., we specialize in fast, code-compliant electrical panel upgrades that eliminate hazards, satisfy insurance requirements, and deliver peace of mind.
Why You Need an Electrical Panel Upgrade
-
Protect Your Family & Property
Old panels overheat and can spark fires. Upgrading ensures proper breaker protection and wiring capacity. -
Avoid Insurance Claim Denials
Many insurers refuse claims on homes with unsafe panels. A UL-listed upgrade keeps you covered. -
Power for Modern Living
More circuits for EV chargers, air conditioning, and home offices—no more tripped breakers under load.
The Dangers of Obsolete Panels
Federal Pacific & Zinsco Risks
-
Poor Breaker Contacts: High failure rate to trip under fault
-
Hidden Overloads: Internal bus-bar faults that don’t show on the panel door
-
Fire Hazard Statistics: Over 50% of recalled Federal Pacific breakers fail tests¹
“Replacing a Federal Pacific panel reduces fire risk by up to 80%.”²
