A diagnosis suited to your electrical problem

Insured electrical work

Our team is insured for the electrical work we provide. You'll receive clear answers about the fault and the proposed repair.

Diagnosis or planned installation

Troubleshooting fits a property with an unexplained fault. If you already need a new light installed and have no fault to diagnose, lighting installation is the more direct request.

Process

How we trace and assess an outlet fault

1

Describe the symptoms

We'll ask which outlets or fixtures have lost power and what you noticed before the fault.

2

Trace the affected circuit

We'll inspect the outlet and use circuit testing to narrow down where power is interrupted.

3

Discuss the repair and estimate

We'll explain the findings and offer free estimates for the proposed work.

4

Complete the approved repair

Once you approve the work, we'll address the identified fault and check the affected circuit.

Finding the source of a dead outlet

Loose wiring
A loose connection can interrupt power. We check connections as part of the fault assessment.
Tripped receptacle
A tripped resettable receptacle can interrupt power to an outlet. We check whether it is involved in the fault.
Open neutral
An open neutral is a break in the circuit's return path. We test the circuit to identify whether that break is involved.

Questions about dead outlets and electrical faults

Why is my outlet not working for Electrical Troubleshooting?

Damaged contacts can stop an outlet from working, and GMB Electric checks for that fault and other causes. The problem could also be elsewhere on the circuit, so the outlet's appearance alone won't identify it. We'll assess the affected circuit and explain what repair is needed.

Before scheduling the visit, what should I do if I smell burning near the panel to keep the work on track?

A burning smell near the panel calls for immediate caution because it can signal a fire risk. Move away from the panel and don't touch it or operate its breakers. If you see smoke or fire, leave the property and call emergency services. We can assess the electrical problem once it's safe to do so.

When should I call my utility about lost power for Electrical Troubleshooting?

A utility outage affecting your property is a reason to contact your utility for outage information. If power loss appears confined to an outlet or part of your property, we can assess the affected circuit. Tell us what still works and whether you've noticed a tripped breaker, so we understand the symptoms.

Which outlet details should I share when requesting an assessment?

The affected outlet's location and symptoms help us understand the problem.

  • Tell us which outlets or fixtures have lost power.
  • Describe any tripped breaker or reset button.
  • Tell us what was connected when the fault appeared.

You'll also need to let us know how we can access the outlet and panel.

Can you repair a fault found during troubleshooting?

Yes, we provide electrical repairs for faults found during troubleshooting. The repair depends on what we find and the condition of the affected parts. We'll discuss the proposed work with you before proceeding, so you can decide whether to approve it. A dead outlet doesn't always mean the receptacle itself needs replacement.

How does the fault location change the repair quote?

The fault location changes the repair quote because access and the work needed can differ. A problem at an outlet calls for a different scope than a fault elsewhere in the wiring. We'll explain the proposed work and provide a quote based on the assessment of your property.

Is replacing a tripped breaker a safe do-it-yourself fix?

No, replacing a breaker yourself isn't a safe way to diagnose a circuit fault. A trip can point to a problem beyond the breaker, and replacing it won't identify that problem. Leave the panel work to us and tell us what was connected when the breaker tripped.
