Federal Pacific main panel and circuit breakers

This kind of a FYI post.
Couple weeks ago we had a whole house generator installed and and new main electrical panel in our house.
The reason for the new main electrical panel was the original owner who built the house in 77-78 used Federal Pacific main panel and breakers.
We had three bids on the generator and all three electricians told us even if we don't do the generator the Federal Pacific stuff had to go. Serious issues with the breakers not tripping and catching the wires on fire. Google it its pretty scary.
So today we had a state inspector in to inspect the electrical work. He also confirmed the Federal Pacific stuff is a fire waiting to happen.
Again just FYI.
