How panel faults interrupt power

Busbar: The busbar distributes power inside the panel. Corrosion can damage its connection to a breaker.
Main breaker: The main breaker controls the incoming supply to the panel. Its condition is relevant when power is lost across the property.
Loose terminals: Loose terminals can interrupt electrical connections. We assess their condition during the panel inspection.

Questions about lost power and electrical repairs

When scheduling Power Outage Troubleshooting, can a damaged electrical panel cause a power outage?

Yes, a corroded busbar or other panel damage can interrupt power. GMB Electric assesses the panel to identify the fault and discuss the work needed.

The affected area depends on where the damage occurs. Tell us whether the outage affects the whole property or only certain circuits.

Should I call my utility when all power goes out?

A whole-property outage can involve the utility supply, so check with your utility about an interruption. We assess electrical faults within your property.

If your utility reports no interruption, tell us what you observed before the power went out. That information helps us focus our assessment.

When comparing options, is it safe to replace a tripped breaker myself for a residential or commercial job?

No, breaker replacement involves electrical hazards, so leave that work to our team. A tripped breaker can also point to a fault that needs attention.

Don't remove the panel cover or touch exposed wiring. We can assess the breaker and discuss the repair your property needs.

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

Yes, we provide electrical repairs as well as outage troubleshooting. The repair depends on the fault and the condition of the affected parts.

After the assessment, we'll explain the work we recommend and discuss the scope with you. A panel upgrade is a separate option when the panel's condition calls for it.

What should I tell you about the outage?

The affected rooms and any warning signs help us understand the outage. Tell us whether the power loss affects your whole property or a specific area.

Also mention a tripped breaker or flickering lights you noticed before the outage. You don't need to open the panel to gather information for us.

Which panel conditions change the repair quote?

Panel damage, access and the parts needing repair can change the quote. We assess the affected equipment before discussing the work.

A damaged connection and a panel that needs an upgrade call for different scopes. Ask us for a quote based on the condition of your property.
