⚡ Why Electrical Panel Upgrades Matter in Earthquake Zones

SKS BLOG

Older homes in Los Angeles—especially those built before the 1980s—often rely on outdated panels like Zinsco, Federal Pacific, or Pushmatic, which are prone to electrical fires, power surges, and system failures. In earthquake-prone areas, these risks multiply. A compromised panel during seismic activity can lead to dangerous electrical faults or even house fires.

🏠 Earthquake Retrofitting and Electrical Safety Go Hand-in-Hand

The Seismic Retrofit Program 2025 in Los Angeles mandates structural upgrades for vulnerable buildings. But many homeowners overlook the importance of electrical infrastructure. A modern electrical panel ensures your home’s power system remains stable during and after an earthquake, reducing the risk of outages or electrical damage.

🔍 What LA Residents Should Consider Before Upgrading

  • Code Compliance: LA building codes require electrical systems to meet seismic safety standards.
  • Power Demand: Upgrading to a 200 amp panel supports modern appliances, EV chargers, and solar systems.
  • Permit Requirements: Electrical panel upgrades often require city permits—SKS Construction handles this for you.
  • Insurance Benefits: A safer electrical system may reduce your homeowner’s insurance premiums.
