Federal Pacific Electric panels are in thousands of Colorado Springs homes — and they fail to protect your family when it matters most.
El Paso Electric replaces them safely, affordably, and fast.
Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) Stab-Lok panels were installed in millions of American homes between the 1950s and 1980s. Over 25 million are still in service today. The problem: their circuit breakers routinely fail to trip during overloads and short circuits — the one job they exist to do.
Not sure if you have one? Look for the words "Federal Pacific Electric" or "Stab-Lok" on your breaker panel door. If you see either, call us for a free assessment. We will tell you exactly what you are dealing with and what it takes to fix it.
Schedule Free AssessmentFPE panels are one of the most common reasons homeowners insurance claims are denied, policies are cancelled, and homes fail to close during a sale.
Many major insurers refuse to write homeowners policies for homes with FPE panels — or require replacement before they will issue coverage.
If a fire originates at your panel and it is an FPE, your insurer may dispute or deny the claim on the basis that the hazard was known and not addressed.
FPE panels are routinely flagged by home inspectors. Buyers, lenders, and insurers may all require replacement before a sale can close.
Insurers that do offer coverage for homes with FPE panels often charge significantly higher premiums to offset the increased fire risk.
We are not the only ones saying FPE panels are dangerous. Here is what the engineering community, government agencies, and insurance industry have found.

After the assessment, you will receive a clear, fixed-price quote. No hidden fees, no balloon pricing. The number we quote is the number you pay.
Most panel swaps take a single day. We pull the permit, do the work, schedule the inspection, and make sure everything passes. Your power is typically off for 4 to 6 hours.
Large electrical contractors in Colorado Springs charge $4,000 to $6,000+ for a panel replacement. We offer the same quality work — permitted, inspected, and to code — at a price that reflects what the job actually costs, not what a national brand thinks you will pay.
