Upgrading Panels That Put Your Property at Risk

Some older electrical panels are not just outdated — they’re uninsurable. Brands like Zinsco, Federal Pacific (FPE), and others have been linked to safety failures, including fire hazards, improper circuit protection, and unreliable performance under load. As a result, many insurance providers will no longer issue or renew policies on properties that still have these panels installed. Whether you're managing a commercial property, preparing for an inspection, or trying to secure coverage, upgrading to a modern, code-compliant panel is essential. Our team provides expert evaluations and full panel replacement services to help you meet insurance requirements, ensure safety, and protect your investment.

What’s Included in a Panel Upgrade Service

Upgrading an uninsurable electrical panel isn’t just a swap — it’s a detailed process that ensures your system is safe, up to code, and ready for inspection or insurance approval. We handle every step, from evaluating your existing setup to coordinating with local inspectors and utility providers. Whether it’s a commercial building, multi-unit property, or tenant space, our team ensures the upgrade is done properly, efficiently, and with minimal disruption to your operations.

  • Inspection of the existing panel and system condition
  • Identification of uninsurable or non-compliant panels
  • Full replacement with a modern, code-approved panel
  • Coordination with utility companies and inspectors
  • Safety testing and documentation for insurance or permitting

Replacing an outdated panel is one of the most important steps you can take to improve the safety, insurability, and reliability of your electrical system. With our experienced team managing the process from start to finish, you can rest assured your upgrade will be done right — meeting today’s codes, satisfying insurance requirements, and protecting your property for the long term.

Who We Work With

We’ve worked with countless clients across Southern California to replace outdated, uninsurable electrical panels—often under tight timelines, during property sales, insurance renewals, or major upgrades. With decades of hands-on experience, our team understands the risks these panels pose and the importance of getting the job done right the first time. Whether you're a property owner, contractor, or manager, we’ve helped others in your exact position—and we’re ready to help you, too.
