Replace Your Defective Zinsco Electrical Panel with Confidence
Is Your Home’s Electrical System Safe?
If your home was built in the 1960s or 1970s, there’s a good chance it may have a Zinsco electrical panel. Zinsco panels, once popular, are now considered a major safety hazard. Here’s why you should consider replacing your Zinsco electrical panel:
- Fire Hazards: Zinsco panels are notorious for electrical failures that can lead to fires. The aluminum components inside these panels oxidize, causing circuit breakers to melt and fuse to the bus bar, resulting in potential electrical fires.
- Unreliable Breakers: These breakers often fail to trip during a short circuit or power surge, which means your home’s electrical system may not be protected from overloads, increasing the risk of fire.
- Poor Connections: The connections within Zinsco panels can become loose over time due to the expansion and contraction of aluminum, leading to dangerous electrical arcing.
Signs You Need to Replace Your Zinsco Electrical Panel
- Burning Smell or Soot: If you detect a burning odor or see soot stains around your electrical panel, these are strong indicators of overheating and potential fire hazards.
- Strange Noises: Buzzing, crackling, or sizzling sounds from your electrical panel indicate serious problems that need immediate attention.
- Hot to the Touch: An electrical panel that is hot suggests internal overheating, which is unsafe.
- Flickering Lights: Lights dimming or flickering when appliances are used signal faulty connections or failing circuit breakers.
