Pennsylvania: FPE panels, knob-and-tube, and aluminum wiring
Pennsylvania's housing stock carries a higher-than-average concentration of electrical hazards: Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) Stab-Lok panels installed between 1950 and 1990, knob-and-tube wiring in pre-1940 row houses throughout Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Allentown, and Scranton, and aluminum branch-circuit wiring in homes built between 1965 and 1973. FPE breakers fail to trip under overload at documented rates — insurers increasingly refuse to write or renew policies on homes with FPE panels. Knob-and-tube wiring that has been covered with insulation is a direct fire hazard. When a circuit starts behaving unexpectedly, the clock starts.
