How to tell if you have one
Look for the manufacturer name on the panel door or the label inside it. Not sure? Send us a photo of the panel and its label and we’ll help you identify it.
Panel guide
Zinsco / Sylvania-Zinsco Panels
Zinsco and some Sylvania-branded panels are obsolete equipment commonly found in older homes. Replacement parts and equipment can be problematic, and homeowners may encounter concerns during inspections or insurance underwriting.
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.
