Your electrical panel is the core of your home’s electrical system. It controls how power is distributed throughout your home and determines how much your system can safely handle.
If your panel is outdated or undersized, it can lead to ongoing issues, safety concerns, and limitations when adding new appliances or upgrades.
Benson Electric installs upgraded electrical panels designed to support modern electrical demands while improving safety and long-term reliability.
Many homeowners don’t realize their panel is limiting their system until problems start showing up.
Certain older electrical panels are known to have safety issues and are often flagged by home inspectors and insurance companies.
Panels such as Zinsco and Federal Pacific (Stab-Lok) have a history of reliability concerns, including breakers that may not trip properly under fault conditions. Because of this, many insurance providers are now requiring these panels to be replaced—or may decline coverage altogether.
In addition to safety and insurance concerns, these panels are often replaced when homeowners are planning future upgrades such as solar panel systems. Solar installations require a reliable and properly rated electrical system, and outdated panels may not meet those requirements.
