What the issue with the box? Brand? The way it's wired?ChickenLady wrote:apparently the breaker box in my house is a known fire issue. This is fun. Need some recommendations
It's a Federal Pacific panel. Which inspectors HIGHLY frown upon, like fail frown. So, I'd rather get it replaced now than later.WLJ wrote:What the issue with the box? Brand?

Gunsmokin, I'm checking your PM now.
It must be true if it's on the internet.Multiple tests done on the breakers since the 1980s have proven that one in four Stab-Lok breakers are defective and will not properly trip off. Unfortunately, when the testing began in the early 1980s, a New Jersey court later ruled that FPE committed testing fraud and a cover-up, labeling the breakers as meeting the standards set by the UL when in reality, they were defective.
In 1983, the Consumer Product Safety Commission closed its two-year investigation and felt it impossible to create a product recall at the time because of budget issues, even as Federal Pacific panels and breakers continued to be installed in millions of homes that to this day still run the risk of an electrical fire. An estimated 2,800 fires each year directly result from Federal Pacific panel breaker malfunction. Federal Pacific Electric has been out of business for many years, but the danger and damage caused by their negligence continues.
This. $100 in parts and probably $400 or $600 for electrician to do a panel swap. Depends on number of circuits and how fast he worksLivewire wrote:Get a Square D home line panel.
Reasonably priced and dependable.
All attic fans should be fused locally to prevent the issue with the breaker.

Home Line is the model of the panel you want
They come in 30 and 40 spaces in the 200 amp panels
How you doin?iron369 wrote:It will probably cost more than $100 in materials if you do it right (ie pull permits and get it inspected). Most breakers in a house have to be afci or gfci. Those breakers are much more expensive than normal breakers. If you aren't going the legal route, then you get what you get. By the way, I am a licensed master electrician.
