| reply to ilikeme Re: Is this breaker panel safe?
said by ilikeme : What I am wondering is, do I need to worry about it with the higher load that I am going to be using? My friend and I will be using, in addition to what she has used, 2 TV's, computers, large stereo equipment, and more lights. The load is not your problem. FPE breakers are well known for not tripping when a short circuit occurs. If you ever plug in a defective appliance, or have an accidental short, the house wiring will probably burn up without the breaker tripping. If that is a problem, consider replacing the panel. |
