Replacing your existing sub-panel to a larger sub-panel that can accommodate more circuit breakers is often required when adding additional circuits. Some facilities need to consolidate multiple sub-panels or disconnects that have been added over the years, into one. Other reasons when replacing your existing sub-panel is recommended are:

  • When your sub-panel and the circuit breakers in it have reached the age of 30; this is about the life expectancy of a circuit breaker.
  • If the manufacturer of your panel is Federal Pacific, Sylvania or Zinsco, these manufacturers produced circuit breakers and panels that are considered to be fire hazards.
  • If you have either intermittent power issues or flickering lights, and it has been determined that the buss, or one of the main lugs that the feeder wires connect to in your panel is deteriorating.
