Why Are Zinsco Panels Dangerous?
Zinsco panels were once a popular choice because of their innovative breaker design, but they have major safety flaws that put homeowners at risk:
🔥 Breakers Fail to Trip – Over time, Zinsco breakers can become loose or fused to the bus bar, meaning they won’t shut off electricity during an overload. This can cause overheating and fires.
⚡ Internal Arcing & Melting – Many electricians have found burnt wiring and melted components inside Zinsco panels, even when everything appears normal from the outside.
🏠 Outdated & Non-Compliant – Zinsco panels do not meet modern electrical codes and have been completely discontinued. (National Electrical Code [NEC], 2023).
💰 Home Insurance Issues – Many insurance companies refuse to cover homes with Zinsco panels or may charge higher premiums due to the increased fire risk.
If you still have a Zinsco panel, it’s only a matter of time before it becomes a major problem. The good news? We can help you replace it quickly and safely.
