Process

Steps in an outage investigation

1

Describe the outage

We ask which areas lost power and what happened before the outage.

2

Inspect the affected system

We inspect the relevant panel and circuits, then use testing to narrow down the fault.

3

Discuss the estimate

We offer free estimates and explain the proposed repair once we understand its scope.

4

Repair and verify

With your approval, we carry out the agreed electrical repair and check the affected circuit.

Choosing the right help for lost power

Electrical faults inside the property

Our insured team investigates wiring and breaker problems at residential and commercial properties. We'll explain what we find before you decide on further work.

Outages on the utility side

A utility-side outage calls for your electric utility. If our checks point outside the property, we'll explain that finding so you can contact the utility.

Repair or panel upgrade

A faulty circuit doesn't always call for a panel upgrade. We'll discuss the work that fits the fault we find.

What an outage diagnosis helps you decide

A diagnosis helps you understand whether the fault is within your property or needs utility attention.

An explanation of the fault helps you decide whether to proceed with a repair.

Identifying the affected circuit helps you understand which equipment may need attention.

Questions about finding and fixing an outage

How can you find the cause of a power outage?

GMB Electric finds outage causes by checking the affected system, including service conductors when the symptoms point there. The extent of the outage helps us select where to begin. We use electrical tests to narrow the fault, then explain whether the property needs a repair or utility attention.

When should I contact my electric utility?

A neighborhood-wide outage is a reason to contact your electric utility. Nearby homes or businesses without power can be a useful clue, though they don't establish the exact fault. If power loss appears limited to your property, we can investigate the panel and wiring for a cause.

When scheduling Power Outage Troubleshooting, is it safe to replace a tripped breaker myself?

A tripped breaker is a reason to have us investigate, not to replace it yourself. The breaker may be responding to a fault elsewhere on the circuit. Leave the panel closed and tell us what happened before the trip, including any equipment that lost power.

Can an outage visit include an electrical repair?

An outage visit can include a repair once we identify the fault and agree on the work. The repair depends on the affected part and what our assessment finds. We also handle panel upgrades, but we'll discuss the appropriate scope before you make a decision.

For Power Outage Troubleshooting, which details should I share before the visit?

The affected rooms and recent symptoms help us understand the outage before the visit. Tell us whether lights, outlets, or equipment lost power and whether the problem returned after a breaker trip. Panel access also matters, so let us know about any access concerns when you request an assessment.

What changes the price of a circuit repair?

The fault location and the repair needed change the price of a circuit repair. Access to the affected wiring can also shape the work. We'll use the assessment to explain the proposed scope, and you can request a quote before deciding whether to proceed.
