Certain electrical panels have documented safety defects and should be replaced regardless of whether they’re currently causing problems. If your Lancaster home has any of these panels, we strongly recommend immediate replacement:
Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) Stab-Lok panels — Studies have shown that up to 1 in 3 FPE breakers fail to trip during an overload, creating a serious fire risk. These panels were installed in millions of homes from the 1950s-1980s. Zinsco/GTE-Sylvania panels — These panels have breakers that fuse to the bus bar, preventing them from tripping during a fault. Overheating, melting, and fire are documented outcomes. Pushmatic panels — While not inherently defective, replacement parts are nearly impossible to find, and the age of these panels (1950s-1970s) means the internal components are well past their reliable lifespan. Fuse boxes — While fuses themselves work fine, fuse panels indicate a very old electrical system that almost certainly needs comprehensive upgrading. If you’re unsure what type of panel you have, our electricians can identify it during a free inspection.
Your electrical panel is the heart of your home’s electrical system — it distributes power to every circuit and provides critical overcurrent protection. If your Lancaster home still has the original panel from when it was built, there’s a good chance it’s undersized for today’s electrical demands. Modern homes typically need 200-amp service, but many older homes in the Los Angeles area were built with 60-amp or 100-amp panels that simply cannot safely handle today’s appliance loads, HVAC systems, electric vehicle chargers, and home office equipment.
Warning signs that your panel needs upgrading include: frequently tripping breakers, flickering lights when appliances turn on, a panel that feels warm to the touch, visible corrosion or rust, burnt smell near the panel, using extension cords because you don’t have enough outlets, and any presence of Federal Pacific (FPE) or Zinsco brand panels — which have documented safety issues and should be replaced regardless of age.
Lancaster’s high desert climate with extreme temperature swings requires robust electrical systems designed for continuous AC operation The average American home’s electrical consumption has increased over 30% in the last 20 years, driven by more powerful HVAC systems, home electronics, kitchen appliances, and electric vehicle charging. A panel that was adequate when your Lancaster home was built may be dangerously overloaded today. Overloaded panels cause breakers to trip frequently, create fire hazards from overheating conductors, and prevent you from adding circuits for new appliances or an EV charger.
In Lancaster, a panel upgrade also increases your home’s value and insurability. Many insurance companies charge higher premiums or refuse coverage for homes with outdated panels — especially Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or any panel with fuses instead of breakers. A modern 200-amp panel with copper bus bars and arc-fault breakers is an investment in safety, convenience, and property value.

For most Lancaster homes under 3,000 sq ft with standard appliances and one EV charger, 200-amp service is sufficient. Homes with multiple HVAC zones, pools/spas, multiple EV chargers, ADUs, or extensive workshop equipment may need 320-amp or 400-amp service. We perform a detailed load calculation to determine the right size.
A typical panel upgrade in Lancaster takes 6-10 hours — usually completed in one full day. The process includes removing the old panel, installing the new panel and breakers, reconnecting all circuits, testing, and cleanup. Power is off during the installation but we work efficiently to minimize downtime.
Yes. Independent testing has shown that Federal Pacific Stab-Lok breakers fail to trip at rates far exceeding any other brand — with some studies showing a 25-30% failure rate. These panels have been linked to thousands of house fires. The CPSC investigated but FPE went out of business. If your Lancaster home has an FPE panel, we strongly recommend replacement.
Yes. Panel upgrades require a permit from the City of Lancaster or LA County building department, followed by an electrical inspection after installation. Armo Electric USA handles all permit paperwork and scheduling. Never hire an electrician who suggests skipping the permit — unpermitted work creates liability issues and problems when selling your home.
If your panel upgrade includes changing the service size (e.g., 100-amp to 200-amp), Southern California Edison will need to disconnect and reconnect your service meter. We coordinate directly with SCE and schedule their visit to align with our work. If you're keeping the same service size, SCE involvement may not be needed.
