Ok here is the deal. I went to check out a kitchen remodel job today. Down to the basement I go and in a soft heavenly light stood a 200 amp FPE panel. Plenty of room for circuits, and a bunch of spare breakers waiting to be used. I started to explain that we might want to change the panel, but I really couldn't come up with a good reason why. So here is the problem. I have heard and read about these panels but have yet to really come up with some hard evidence as to a real problem. I will shut up and get ready for the advice now!
