You’re Never Safe If You Have One of Those

It is getting hotter all the time and while most of us enjoy warm weather during summer, some of your household appliances might not be the greatest fans of the heat. We bet you keep your AC running at least several times a day? If yes, then the air conditioner creates an additional load for the electrical panel.

The Risks of Old Electrical Panels

If your home has an outdated electrical panel, you might be unknowingly putting your household at risk. Old panels were not designed to manage the electrical demands of today’s homes, which can lead to overheating, electrical fires, and electric shock hazards. This is especially true during the summer months when air conditioners and other cooling systems are used extensively.

You’re Never Safe If You Have One of Those

Hazardous Electrical Panel Brands

Certain brands of electrical panels have been found to be particularly dangerous. If you have any of the following panels in your home, it’s crucial to replace them immediately:

  • Federal Pacific Electrical Panel: Known for its circuit breakers failing to trip during a surge, increasing the risk of fire.
  • Pushmatic Electrical Panel: Lacks a main breaker and often has stiff breaker switches, making it difficult to turn off in an emergency.
  • Zinsco Electrical Panel: Often fails to trip when overloaded, which can cause wires to melt and start a fire.
  • Edison Electrical Panel: Another outdated panel that poses a significant risk of malfunction and fire.

Upgrading your electrical panel is not just about safety; it’s also about efficiency and peace of mind. Modern electrical panels are designed to handle the high power demands of today’s homes, ensuring that your appliances run smoothly and safely.

We chose Fuse to do the HVAC portion of our home remodel and we're very happy with their work! They installed a full Mitsubishi Mini-split heat pump system all throughout our house in 6 rooms. It was a massive job and they did the work relatively quickly and efficiently. The supervisor, Maxim, was very friendly and knowledgeable. Out of several bids that we got, theirs was the only one that gave us everything we wanted at a competitive cost. We'd be happy to recommend Fuse! We also had Fuse Electric work on the electrical portion of our home remodel, for which I wrote up a separate review.

We got our duct work completely replaced in our 50 yr old home. They recommended the work, other companies didn't do this much due diligence and mentioned about asbestos but FUSE technicians went step ahead and climbed into attic and our crawl space to ensure there were no asbestos to begin with. Honest people and very competitive if not best quote I got. Moreover the installer, David and Jeremy worked 2 long days non stop to get work done at our home with 100% satisfaction. David explained everything to me and provided other recommendations for future. He is the most honest technician I have encountered in so long. Because of David I wouldn't hesitate to work with FUSE again. Thank you for such a great work. Very happy and highly recommend FUSE!!

The technical crews were excellent; very knowledgeable and capable. They were able to do our HVAC, water heater and ductwork replacement even when faced with several unexpected and very challenging situations. David in particular worked some very long hours to get everything installed correctly.

The administration side had a few glitches, but everything worked out OK.

I would recommend them, but if you are eligible for the Penninsula Clean Energy interest free loan, be sure to apply for it before the work is completed.

Exceptional service from FUSE HVAC! They installed a Mitsubishi HVAC system in our home, and we couldn't be happier. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient throughout the process. Our home is now perfectly comfortable year-round, thanks to their expertise. From consultation to installation, everything was seamless and hassle-free. Highly recommend FUSE HVAC for anyone looking for top-notch HVAC solutions!

Fuse HVAC installed Mitsubishi Heat pump in my house and completed the project on 31st March 2024.  David and Jeremy started the project and David finished the installation. David worked Saturday and Sunday until 11 PM to complete the work. It took 4 1/2 days.

I am very happy with the work that David performed. I was watching the process of installation of the pump and was very satisfied to see that after finishing each step David will spend 10-15 min inspecting the work that he did to make sure that there was no mistake. The result was that during pressure testing to check for gas leakage or when the heat pump was run there was no unanticipated issue. The new ductwork that was installed by FUSE passed the HERS test. FUSE is also installing the attic fan to keep the air circulation going and keep the attic cooler.

FUSE was referred to by my friend who used them for installing a similar heat pump and although they were a little more expensive than a few quotes I got from other vendors, I decided to go with them based on my friend's recommendation. I had made a right choice!

My only criticism for FUSE is they are not able to estimate the time that it will take to finish the project. They told me it will be done in 3 days but it took 4 1/2 days. My project needed the air handler to be moved to the attic but because the space which had the gas heater was too narrow for the air handler.

On the whole it was a good experience working with FUSE. They kept us warm for two days with heater fans and David worked Easter Sunday until 11 PM to install and start up the system without hurrying up at any step to get the installation completed earlier. A big thanks to him and to his assistant Jeremy!
