Breaker Box FAQ
+Why should I replace a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel in San Jose, California?
Federal Pacific Stab-Lok and Zinsco breakers have well-documented failure-to-trip records and are flagged by most San Jose, California insurers and inspectors. Replacement is the standard remediation.
+Can I keep my existing amperage when replacing the box in San Jose, California?
Yes — a like-for-like 100A or 200A replacement is common in San Jose, California when the service size is still adequate. If you're adding an EV charger or solar, plan for an upgrade at the same time.
+Do I need a permit for panel work in San Jose, California?
Yes — service changes, meter swaps, and main breaker upgrades require a permit in virtually every San Jose, California jurisdiction. Your licensed electrician pulls the permit and coordinates with the AHJ and utility.
+Will the utility need to cut power for my upgrade in San Jose, California?
Yes. Your contractor schedules a meter-pull / cut-in with the local San Jose, California utility. Most upgrades land same-day power restoration; large 400A or underground services may take longer.
