Panel Upgrades

Upgrading your electrical panels could be more important than you may know if your home was built between the mid 50s and late 80s. The National Electrical Code currently bans the Federal Pacific Electrical Panels that were installed in homes during that time. This means it is illegal to install this system in new homes or businesses. However, you could still have one in your home that was installed many years ago.

Many insurance companies will not insure a home with a Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) circuit breaker panel with Stab-Lok circuit breakers. In addition, a home with an FPE box can be difficult to sell without replacing the breaker panel.

If you determine you have an FPE panel, we urge you to contact us at the office (561) 540-5942 or email Jennifer@av2e.net to schedule a free estimate.

Is Your Electric Panel Safe?

If you have a Federal Pacific Electric Stab-Lok panel (aka FPE) installed in your home OR business, PLEASE READ this:

FPEs were installed during the mid 50s well into the 1980s. Unfortunately, at the detriment to others, over time these panels proved faulty because of defective circuit breakers that created a substantial risk of fires.

These problems mean that when a surge or other power issue occurs, such as short circuits, the breaker does NOT trip properly. This can result in wires overheating potentially creating a fire hazard.

FPE panel breaker malfunctions are potentially the cause of an estimated 2,800 fires each year. As a result, electrical companies recommend that homeowners replace FPE panels with new, up to date circuit breakers.

What Our Clients Say

Our customers can’t be wrong. Take a look at all of our work and testimonials.

Our team has been working hand in hand with AV2E Electrical for many years. Their staff is knowable, accommodating and they provide great quality work. AV2E has helped our team with small to large scale jobs. From new construction to remodels, LED retrofits to panel upgrades and anything in between. The personalized service and attention to detail is what sets them apart. Their response time is quick and they show up when promised. Their services will surpass your needs.

I have done a thorough research of electricians in my area (Palm Beach County). After vetting several electricians, I have found AV2E Electrical Services to be the absolute best in quality and in several cases in price. Quality of work and aggressive pricing may take a company very far but what makes AV2E Electrical Services stand out more than anyone is their communication and professionalism.

At all times the employees of AV2E have been professional while completing the installations in a timely manner. Their invoices are completed and submitted appropriately, and their jobsites are as clean (if not cleaner) than when the jobs started. We look forward to continuing the business relationship between our two companies.

I employed AV2E for the electrical services on 2 brand new commercial, buildings that were developed from vacant land. AV2E always was on schedule. The employees were always pleasant to work with and were always presentable in their uniforms. If there were any change order or last minute items Lorenzo made sure these were taken care of in a timely manner. I would highly recommend using them for any of your future projects.

As a remodeler it is important to have people on your team that are knowledgeable, helpful, honest, flexible, professional, and that care about the entire project, not just their part. AV2E Electrical Services is all of those things and more. Lorenzo is a consummate professional, works with you to solve whatever problem may arise, and makes sure that the work gets done properly and in the most effective way possible. Jenn in the office is always quick to respond, helpful beyond what is expected, and keeps a tight rein on the schedule. The AV2E crew are clean, efficient, and professional. My personal gauge for the trades that I work with is "would I send them to my Mom's house." In the case of AV2E not only would I happily send them, I would be proud to do so.

We (myself, neighbors, and Condo assoc.) highly recommend AV2E for all your electrical needs. We have used them several times and bids have always come in lower than others. They are neat, punctual (actually early every time) and right on point with estimated costs.

Dear Electrical Team,
Thank you for a job well done. Our home is highlighted beautifully, and our guests can sleep comfortably.
