Federal Pacific & Zinsco panel replacement across Tampa Bay

Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels in Tampa Bay

Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) Stab-Lok and Zinsco (including some Sylvania-branded) panels were widely installed in US homes from roughly the 1950s through the early 1980s. They still appear in Tampa Bay housing stock. In Florida, the practical pressure to replace them often comes from insurers and 4-point inspections at sale or renewal – not from a federal recall.

This site is a free matching service. We introduce homeowners to up to 3 licensed local electricians. We are not a licensed electrical contractor and we do not perform the work.
