    Zinsco Electrical Panels: Common Questions from Florida Homeowners and Buyers

    Zinsco electrical panels were popular in homes built through the 1970s. Like Federal Pacific, they are now frequently flagged by Florida insurance companies.

    Why Zinsco Panels Are a Concern

    Zinsco panels use aluminum bus bars that are prone to corrosion, especially in Florida humid coastal climate. The breakers can seize and fail to trip during an overload.

    What to Do

    If your home has a Zinsco panel, contact a licensed electrician for an evaluation. We can review your panel photos remotely at no charge.
