Video: Identifying Hazardous Electrical Panels

LIVERMORE — Host, Sarah Rutan: You may not realize it, but your home’s electrical system could be relying on a defective product. To learn more, we’re in Livermore with Nery Sanchez of Service Champions, speaking on behalf of Diamond Certified Expert Scott Mamola.

Diamond Certified Expert Contributor, Nery Sanchez: My recommendation for any homeowner is to check their panel. The service panel coming in is the actual box coming from the utility companies. If you have a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels, those panels, they actually, they’re defective. You know, they don’t, the circuit breakers, they don’t trip. The first safety in the electrical house, it’s your circuit breakers. And if your circuit breakers don’t trip, that could be a fire hazard.
