Federal Pacific Electrical Panels
with STAB-LOK breakers
🚩🚩🚩RED FLAG 🚩🚩🚩

During yesterday’s inspection, we encountered an NOTORIOUS Red Flag - a Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) Stab-Lok panel.

These panels, common in homes built between the 1950s and 1980s, are a significant safety concern due to an alarming failure rate!

Here’s what you need to know:

🔥 Fire Hazard: FPE breakers have a high failure rate and may NOT trip during an overcurrent or short circuit, dramatically increasing the risk of fire.

⚠️ Defective Breakers: Studies have shown a significant percentage of these breakers are inherently defective.

🚫 No Official Recall: Despite these dangers, there has been NO mandatory recall issued by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

💡 Replacement Recommended: Many qualified electricians and home inspectors strongly advise replacing FPE panels for your safety.

🏠 Insurance Issues: Be aware that some insurance companies may deny coverage to homes with FPE panels due to the known risks.

⚙️ Outdated: FPE panels do not meet current National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements.

🤯 Still Present: Shockingly, millions of homes still have these hazardous panels installed.

✅ ACTION ADVISED: If your home in Greeley or Northern Colorado has an FPE panel, it is CRUCIAL to have it inspected immediately by a licensed and qualified electrician.

Your family’s Health & Safety could depend on it!
