Questions about lost power and electrical repairs

Why is only part of my home without power for Power Outage Troubleshooting?

A tripped breaker can interrupt power to part of your home while other circuits remain on. GMB Electric checks the affected circuit to identify why power stopped. Other faults can produce similar symptoms, so the working lights elsewhere don't identify the cause. Tell us which rooms and outlets are affected.

For Power Outage Troubleshooting, when should I call the utility about an outage?

A neighborhood-wide outage is a reason to report lost power to your utility. We handle electrical problems at your property, while the utility addresses its supply equipment. If nearby properties have power and yours doesn't, tell us what you can see without touching electrical equipment.

Prior to the appointment, what should I do if I smell burning near the panel before the crew arrives on site?

A burning smell near the panel can signal a fire risk, so keep away and call emergency services if you see smoke or fire. Don't touch the panel or try to repair it. Once the immediate danger is addressed, we can assess the electrical fault.

Which details should I share before the visit for Power Outage Troubleshooting?

The affected rooms and the symptoms help us understand your outage.

Tell us which lights and outlets have lost power.
Describe any breaker trips or unusual smells.
Let us know who can provide access to the panel.

You don't need to diagnose the fault yourself. We'll discuss the assessment from there.

Can you repair the fault after finding it for Power Outage Troubleshooting?

Yes, we can repair electrical faults identified during an outage assessment. The diagnosis determines what work is needed, and we'll discuss the proposed repair with you before proceeding. A panel problem may call for different work than a fault on a branch circuit.

Should I replace a breaker myself for Power Outage Troubleshooting?

No, breaker replacement involves work inside the electrical panel and should be left to our team. We'll assess the breaker and the circuit it protects before recommending work. A breaker that trips can point to a fault elsewhere, so replacing it alone may not address the cause.
