Each year in the United States, arcing faults in electrical panels are responsible for over 28,000 home fires, which kill and injure hundreds of people and cause over $700 million in property damage. 

Keeping your panel up to date is the best way to ensure you will not be a victim of arcing faults.

When to Schedule an Inspection

If you have never received a panel inspection, or it's been longer than 5 years, we recommend getting an inspection as soon as possible. 

There are a couple of red flags that could point to an immediate danger:

• If your panel is 25 years or older. New codes are released on a yearly basis to ensure homeowners are safe from electrical fires. Keeping them up to date is the best way to ensure you won't have any safety issues.

• If you have a Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) or other brand of Stab-Lok breaker panel, an upgrade is highly recommended.  Experts estimate that this type of panel causes an extraordinary amount of damage yearly. Including: $40 million in property damage, 2,800 fires and 13 deaths.
