Retiring a Federal Pacific panel in the Highlands

A 1962 FPE Stab-Lok panel, replaced in a day with a 200A service — photos of what we found behind the cover.

The panel photos this homeowner sent through the quote wizard showed a Federal Pacific Stab-Lok — a breaker brand with a documented failure history. We quoted a full 200A service upgrade sight-unseen from the photos, held the price, and completed the swap in one working day.

What we found behind the cover: two double-tapped breakers and a neutral bar at capacity. The new Square D QO panel has room for the EV charger they're planning next year.

Permit 26REC-05518, passed inspection first visit.
