Replacing Panels That Are a Known Safety Risk
Full panel replacement for corroded, recalled, or failure-prone equipment.
Federal Pacific Stab-Lok and older Zinsco panels show up regularly in Mendocino County homes built before the mid-1980s, and both have documented histories of breakers that fail to trip during a fault. We also replace panels damaged by moisture intrusion, rodent nesting, or the rust that comes from decades in a garage or exterior wall without proper flashing.
A replacement means a new enclosure, new breakers matched to your actual circuits, and verification that every circuit is landed correctly rather than just copied from the old panel's often-mislabeled directory. Because this touches the main disconnect, it requires a permit, a brief PG&E outage, and a county inspection before we close up the wall or enclosure.
If your home has an older fuse box instead of breakers, replacement is generally the only real fix, fuses can't be safely retrofitted to modern circuit demands.

Residential Electricians Who Know Ukiah Homes
We work here every day, so we know what's behind the walls before we open them.
Much of Ukiah, Calpella, and Hopland was built long before modern loads, heat pumps, induction ranges, shop tools, EV chargers. We see the same failure patterns weekly: undersized 100-amp services, aluminum branch circuits, ungrounded two-prong outlets, and panels no longer supported by breakers you can buy.
We know which county desk handles your permit and which inspector will be at the meter.
