A lot of homes in older parts of Longmont and Boulder still have these outdated Federal Pacific (FP) panels — and if you have one, it’s worth addressing sooner rather than later.
Take a close look at the photo. If your electrical panel looks like this, you’re looking at a Federal Pacific Stab-Lok panel. These breakers are known for a serious issue: they often fail to trip properly during overloads or short circuits. That can lead to overheating, arcing, and a significantly higher risk of electrical fires.
Many homeowners don’t even realize they have one until something goes wrong. Some insurance companies are already flagging them or requiring replacement for coverage. Don’t wait for that call.

• Thorough inspection and honest assessment
• Full service upgrades as needed
• Permit assistance
• Coordination with the city and power company
Whether you’re planning future upgrades like solar, EV charging, or just want real peace of mind for your family, swapping out that old FP panel is one of the smartest safety moves you can make.
If you have one of these panels, call us today. We’ll get you a fast quote and take care of it the right way.
