How we trace an outage

Discuss the outage pattern

We ask where power is out and what was running when it stopped.

2

Trace the affected circuit

We inspect the panel and trace the circuit to narrow down the source of the interruption.

3

Check the suspected fault

We test relevant electrical components and assess whether wiring or a breaker needs attention.

4

Explain the repair and estimate

We explain our findings and offer a free estimate for the work needed.

A clear service boundary

Repairs and related upgrades

A fault may lead to a repair or a panel upgrade. We'll explain the relevant work after assessing the affected equipment.

Questions about recurring power outages

What causes power to go out repeatedly?

An overloaded circuit can cause repeated outages, and GMB Electric checks for the underlying cause. A fault or a failing breaker can also interrupt power. Tell us which equipment was running and where power went out. Those details help us focus the investigation on the affected circuit.

When should I call my utility about lost power for Power Outage Troubleshooting?

A wider outage affecting neighboring properties is a reason to contact your utility. Your utility can tell you about its supply equipment and any reported outage. If the issue appears limited to your property, we can assess the electrical system. You don't need to open the panel to compare which areas have power.

Can you repair the problem after finding it?

Yes, we provide electrical repairs for problems found during outage troubleshooting. The needed work depends on the fault and the condition of the affected parts. We'll explain what we found and discuss the proposed repair with you. A panel upgrade may be a separate option if the assessment points to that need.

Which details should I share before an outage visit?

The affected rooms and the equipment in use give us useful details about an outage. Tell us whether the power returned and whether a breaker tripped. You can also tell us about access to the panel. Don't remove its cover or handle exposed wiring to collect information.

How should I prepare access to the electrical panel?

A clear path to the electrical panel helps us reach the equipment for inspection. Move ordinary stored items away if you can do so safely. If the area smells of burning or you notice another hazard, leave it alone and tell us. We'll discuss access before starting work.

Is replacing a tripped breaker a safe homeowner fix?

A tripped breaker doesn't establish that the breaker needs replacement. The problem could be elsewhere on the circuit, so we assess the cause before recommending work. Don't remove the panel cover or replace a breaker yourself. Tell us about the trip and any affected outlets or appliances.
