Love this place!
Project is on hold until I figure out plan for electrical. Turns out the larger 60 amp breaker will not fit in the current spot for my existing water heater circuit (30 amp). It's too wide and I don't have any openings left in the panel.
Now considering adding a sub-panel right next to it.

Time to change the panel. Really. When you sell the home inspector or insurance company will make it happen anyway, you may as well reap the benefits.

Adding a sub panel and increased current loads to that FPE is asking for trouble.

Question: Do Federal Pacific Stab-Lok panels need to be replaced?
Answer: Since these panels have a known potential fire safety issue, we always recommend full replacement when found during an inspection.
