""These panels were installed in millions of homes, and the breakers simply don't work the way they should. When a breaker fails to trip during an overload, wires overheat—and that's how electrical fires start. If you have a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel, don't wait for something to go wrong." — Ace Electric"
Denver electrician Ace Electric is urging homeowners to check their electrical panels for Federal Pacific (FPE) and Zinsco brands, which have documented histories of breaker failure and are considered serious fire hazards. Many Denver homes built between the 1950s and 1980s still have these panels installed.

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Ace Electric, a licensed electrical contractor serving the Denver metro area, is alerting homeowners to the dangers of outdated Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) and Zinsco electrical panels still found in many local homes.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.
