Panel guide
Federal Pacific / FPE Stab-Lok Panels
Older Federal Pacific Electric panels using Stab-Lok breakers have a long history of safety concerns and are frequently discussed during home inspections and insurance reviews. Homeowners with an FPE/Stab-Lok panel should have the equipment professionally evaluated.
Why homeowners have it evaluated
- Age and condition of the equipment
- Availability of appropriate replacement components
- Questions during home inspections or insurance underwriting
- Need for more capacity or breaker spaces
Insurance and replacement
Not every panel from these manufacturers is automatically unsafe, and not every insurer requires replacement. Needs depend on the panel, its condition and the insurer’s underwriting requirements.
