The short answer
If an inspection identifies a Federal Pacific panel, get a licensed electrician’s evaluation.
Key points
- Identification: confirm the panel and breaker equipment from visible labels; leave covers attached.
- Condition: document damage, corrosion, tripping issues, or concerns raised by the inspector.
- Next steps: request a written explanation of findings and the recommended work.
- Replacement quote: confirm permits, utility coordination, grounding, inspection, and outage planning.
Bottom line: A panel label starts the conversation. A professional evaluation should guide the replacement plan.
Next step
Send ABR Electric the inspection report and safe exterior photos. Keep away from equipment showing burning, heat damage, or buzzing.
