Electrical Service Upgrade in Fortville, Indiana

The meter socket may need replacement, and GMB Electric determines which service equipment needs work.

• The panel may need an upgrade.
• Service conductors may need replacement.
• The main disconnect and grounding system may need work.

The final scope depends on the existing equipment and the property's needs. We'll explain the proposed changes before you decide how to proceed.

A breaker can trip because a circuit is overloaded or has a fault.

A trip doesn't establish that the incoming service is too small. We inspect the affected circuit and panel to find the cause. Don't keep resetting a breaker that trips again, and tell us what was running when it happened.

A wider outage affecting nearby properties is a reason to contact your utility.

If the problem appears limited to your property, we can inspect its electrical equipment. Tell us whether the whole property or only part of it has lost power. That detail helps us understand the concern before we assess the service.

No, replacing a breaker yourself isn't a safe response to repeated trips.

The breaker may be responding to a fault in the circuit or connected equipment. We can inspect the circuit and determine whether the breaker needs repair or replacement. Don't remove the panel cover or touch exposed electrical parts.

The affected circuits and visible symptoms help us understand a panel problem.

Tell us which areas lost power and whether a breaker has tripped. If you're planning an upgrade, describe the equipment you want to add. Don't open the panel cover to collect information. We can inspect the equipment as part of the assessment.

The equipment that needs replacement and access to it change the price of service work.

A panel-only job has a different scope from work that also involves the incoming service. Existing equipment condition matters too. We can assess the property, identify the proposed work, and provide a quote for that scope.
