If your home or business is still using a Sylvania electrical panel, it’s time to consider upgrading. Sylvania (formerly Zinsco) electrical panels were widely installed in homes from the 1950s to the 1980s. However, these panels are now known to pose serious safety risks due to their tendency to overheat, fail to trip during electrical surges, and cause electrical fires. At Electricode, we specialize in Sylvania electrical panel replacement services, ensuring your property is safe, up to code, and capable of handling modern electrical demands.

Why Replace a Sylvania Electrical Panel?

Sylvania electrical panels have been linked to multiple safety hazards that put your home and family at risk. Here are a few reasons why replacing your Sylvania panel is essential:

• Breaker Failure: The most common issue with Sylvania panels is that their circuit breakers often fail to trip when overloaded. This means they can overheat and lead to electrical fires.
• Poor Connection: The aluminum and copper connections used in Sylvania panels can loosen over time, causing arcing, which increases the risk of fire.
• Outdated Technology: Sylvania panels were designed for homes with lower electrical demands, making them unsuitable for modern homes that use more power.
• Insurance Risks: Many insurance companies will not insure homes with Sylvania or Zinsco panels due to their poor safety record.

Upgrading your Sylvania panel to a modern electrical panel will significantly reduce the risk of electrical fire, improve safety, and ensure your home is compliant with current electrical codes.

Signs You Need a Sylvania Electrical Panel Replacement

If you’re unsure whether your home has a Sylvania panel or if it’s time for a replacement, here are some signs to look for:

• Frequent breaker trips: This could indicate that your panel is not equipped to handle your home’s electrical load.
• Burn marks on the panel: Discoloration or burn marks on the panel or around circuit breakers are signs of overheating and a potential fire hazard.
• Old or original panel: If your home was built between the 1950s and 1980s and still has its original panel, there’s a good chance it’s a Sylvania or Zinsco panel.
• Breakers that don’t trip: If your breakers fail to trip even when circuits are overloaded, this is a major safety issue that requires immediate attention.
• Warm or hot panel: If your electrical panel feels warm to the touch, this is a sign of faulty wiring or an overheating breaker.

If you’ve noticed any of these warning signs, it’s important to schedule an inspection to determine if your Sylvania panel needs to be replaced.
