Electrical Panel Upgrades

Replacing outdated Zinsco or Federal Pacific panels with modern, safe alternatives.

Introduction

The electrical panel is the heart of your building’s safety system. In many SoCal apartments, these "hearts" are failing. Outdated panels—specifically Zinsco and Federal Pacific—are notorious for failing to trip during a surge, leading to catastrophic fires. Upgrading your panels and subpanels is the single most effective way to protect your investment and your tenants.

Types of Panel Upgrades We Handle:

  1. Main Distribution Boards:
    Replacing the central "brain" of your building's electrical system.

  2. Zinsco & FPE Replacement:
    Total removal of obsolete, hazardous panels that most insurance companies will no longer cover.

  3. Individual Unit Subpanels:
    Upgrading the panels inside tenant units to 100A or 125A service for modern living.

  4. Meter Socket Repairs:
    Correcting damaged or corroded meter banks to ensure accurate billing and safety.
