Shocking Electrical Issues
Okay, so I'm in a house that I found. There are electric panels that need to be replaced. You can see them behind me, and I'm going to give you a close-up. But the real reason they need to be replaced is that they're Federal Pacific panels.
Let's take a quick look so you can see. These panels are Federal Pacific. Even the top panel has the word "Federal" written pretty well there, but you can also find it on the main panel, right here where it says "Federal Pacific."
Anytime a city inspects or performs a rental inspection or any other type of inspection, they will point out the Federal Pacific panel. They want you to change them due to the fire hazard. If you have a Federal Pacific panel in your home, consider getting it replaced by contacting your local electrician.
Thank you for watching, and hopefully, this information will help you ensure your safety while sleeping.
