Panel upgrade	Replacement of the electrical panel	Considered when the panel needs replacement or the assessed load calls for an upgrade

Checking panel capacity for a charger

Load calculation: We use this assessment of electrical demand to help determine whether the proposed charging load fits.
Charging circuit: We consider the circuit that will supply the charger as part of the property's overall electrical needs.

Questions about panel upgrades and electrical faults

Will a panel upgrade support my electric vehicle charger?

A load calculation helps GMB Electric determine whether a panel upgrade can support your proposed charger. The answer depends on your property's existing demand and the charger you plan to use. We'll discuss the findings with you before recommending panel work. An open breaker slot alone doesn't establish whether the electrical service has enough capacity.

For Electrical Panel Upgrade, what should I do if I smell burning near my panel?

A burning smell near a panel can signal a fire risk, so move away and contact us for emergency help. Don't touch the panel or try to open it. If you see smoke or fire, leave the property and call emergency services. Tell us what you noticed and where the smell is strongest.

When scheduling Electrical Panel Upgrade, should I replace a tripped breaker myself?

Breaker replacement is electrical work that we handle after assessing the fault. A trip doesn't establish that the breaker itself has failed. The problem could be connected equipment or wiring on the circuit. Tell us what was running when the breaker tripped, and keep clear of any damaged or exposed electrical parts.

When preparing for the service call, which details should I share before a panel assessment during the initial assessment?

Panel access and the equipment connected to your electrical system help us prepare for an assessment. Tell us about recurring trips or other symptoms you've noticed. If you're planning a charger, share its details too. You can also tell us where the panel is and whether access affects your home or business.

During project preparation, when does a tripping breaker call for a panel upgrade on a standard service call?

A tripping breaker calls for a panel upgrade only if our assessment identifies a panel issue that replacement addresses. The trip alone doesn't establish the cause. A fault elsewhere on the circuit may call for repair. We'll discuss the findings and the proposed work with you before you decide how to proceed.
