Some electrical history still hard at work!

We came across this old electrical panel in Rome, Georgia, and it’s always fascinating to see equipment that’s been in service for so many decades. It’s a reminder of how far the electrical industry has come.

While it’s definitely a cool piece of history, older panels like this often lack the safety features found in today’s electrical systems. If your home or business still has an older panel, it may be worth having it inspected to ensure it’s operating safely and meeting your electrical needs.

Have you ever seen one this old still in service? Let us know in the comments! 👇

Monday Motivation 💪⚡

This poor guy! We love you, Deano. Although he probably wished he would’ve called in today, he still showed up and made it happen with a smile on his face!

Today’s adventure involved installing a generator cable in one sketchy crawl space. Tight quarters, dirt, sweat, and who knows what else under there 😂

Blue collar work… they say it ain’t for everyone, and they’re right. But hardworking guys like Deano are the reason the job gets done no matter what. Proud of this crew every single day. 👊

⚡ Electrical Panels We Commonly Recommend Replacing ⚡

If your home has one of these panels, it may be time to consider an upgrade for safety, reliability, and insurance reasons:

🚨 Zinsco Panels
• Known for breakers failing to trip during overloads
• Breakers can melt to the bus bar and continue conducting power
• Obsolete and replacement parts are limited

🚨 Federal Pacific (FPE / Stab-Lok) Panels
• High documented failure rates where breakers may not trip properly
• Increased fire risk due to loose connections and overheating
• Many insurance companies flag these panels during underwriting

🚨 Challenger Panels (especially with Zinsco-style main breakers)
• Aging components can overheat and fail
• Some breaker models had recalls
• Parts are obsolete and reliability is a concern

🚨 Split-Bus Panels
• No single main breaker to shut off all power
• Outdated design that can create confusion during emergencies
• Often found in older homes and due for modernization

🚨 Fuse Panels
• Older technology not built for today’s electrical demands
• Often overloaded with modern appliances
• Harder to insure and upgrade

If you’re unsure what type of panel you have, or would like a FREE estimate, call 1 Best Electric today.

Your electrical panel is the heart of your home’s electrical system—don’t wait until it becomes a safety issue.
