KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE
Some older panels are known safety risks
Certain panels installed in many Spokane homes from the 1950s to the 1980s can fail to shut off power when they should. You can’t tell by looking at it. Mike can, in about 10 seconds, from a photo.
(Your inspector may have called it a Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or fuse box.)
MORE POWER
Big new appliances and remodels often need more power than an older panel can handle. Mike checks what your home actually needs first, so you don’t pay for more than you need.
