Questions about diagnosing an outage

Can a damaged electrical panel cause a power outage?

Yes, a damaged panel or main breaker can interrupt power, and GMB Electric can assess the fault. Damage at a connection inside the panel can affect the supply to circuits. We inspect the panel and explain whether the fault calls for a repair or further work.

When should I report an outage to my utility?

A suspected utility supply interruption is a reason to report the outage to your utility. Check its outage information if you can do so safely. If the issue appears limited to your property, we can assess the electrical system and discuss what needs repair.

Should I replace a tripped breaker myself?

No, a tripped breaker shouldn't be replaced as a do-it-yourself outage repair. A breaker can trip because of a fault on its circuit, so replacement alone may not address the cause. We'll assess the circuit and discuss the repair your system needs.

What details should I share before an outage assessment?

The affected rooms and any symptoms give us useful details before an assessment. Tell us whether the outage covers the whole property or a smaller area. Details about a tripped breaker or equipment that lost power can also help us understand the problem.

Does an outage assessment include the repair?

An outage assessment identifies the problem and the repair work to discuss. The repair scope depends on what we find in the electrical system. We'll explain the findings and provide a quote for the proposed work so you can decide how to proceed.

Which panel findings can change the repair price?

The type of panel damage and the work needed to reach it can change the repair price. A faulty connection and a damaged panel can call for different scopes of work. We'll explain the proposed repair and provide a quote based on the assessment.
