In many homes in San Fernando Valley, people notice flickering lights and outlets that sometimes work, but sometimes do not. Poor connections can lead to more damage and possible fires.

The other issue with some older panels may have been forced to stop production many years ago by UL listing authorities because they do not operate properly. They can be very dangerous. Whenever there is a potential fire risk or the risk of an electrocution, circuit breakers are designed to trip quickly. They turn off the power within a fraction of a second.

There is a clear and present danger associated with having these panels and breakers in your San Fernando Valley home. The breakers inside these old, obsolete panels may take a whole minute to trip and in some cases, will not stop the power at all. The panel could cause a fire in your home or electrocute someone.
