The Electrician's Importance
There's no need to be worried about an electrical panel most of the time. Resting in the shadows, these safety devices protects people and property in the event of a circuit overload. But there are specific things which may indicate the fact that electrical panel is not safe.
Indicators of Unsafe Electrical Panels
• Manufactured by Zinsco
• Manufactured by Federal Pacific (FPE)
• Warming of front of electrical box
• Using fuses instead of circuit breakers
• Rusting on the panel
• Frayed entry cable on exterior of the house
