Questions about electrical outages and repairs

Can a damaged electrical panel cause a power outage for Power Outage Troubleshooting?

Yes, a damaged panel can cause an outage, and a panel inspection by GMB Electric can identify signs of a fault.

The cause could involve a breaker or another connection within the panel. We assess the equipment and explain the findings before discussing the repair. Keep the panel closed and leave internal electrical work to us.

When should I contact my utility about lost power?

A utility outage affecting its network should be reported to your utility.

Check the utility’s outage information if it’s safe to do so. If the problem appears limited to your property, we can assess its electrical system. The utility can address its network equipment, while our work focuses on the property’s electrical system.

Is it safe to replace a tripped breaker myself for Power Outage Troubleshooting?

No, a tripped breaker should not be replaced by the property owner.

A breaker can trip because of a fault elsewhere on the circuit, so replacing it without a diagnosis may leave the cause unresolved. Keep the panel closed and tell us what stopped working. We can assess the circuit and discuss the appropriate repair.

What details should I share before an outage visit?

The affected areas and equipment help us understand an outage before the visit.

  • Tell us which rooms or outlets lost power.
  • Describe any breaker trips or unusual sounds.
  • Let us know how we can access the electrical panel.

These details give us a starting point. We’ll assess the electrical system before drawing conclusions about the fault.

Which panel repair details should I confirm before agreeing?

The proposed repair scope and quote are useful details to confirm before work begins.

Ask what fault we found and which equipment the work addresses. You can also ask whether the proposed work is a repair or a panel upgrade. We’ll discuss the findings so you can decide how to proceed.

Can an outage assessment lead to a panel upgrade?

Yes, an outage assessment can lead to a panel upgrade if the panel needs broader work.

A repair may address a specific fault, while an upgrade changes the panel equipment. We provide both electrical repairs and panel upgrades. We’ll explain the work we recommend after assessing the property, so you can consider the scope before deciding.
