Questions about upgrading electrical service

For Electrical Service Upgrade, what equipment gets replaced during a service upgrade?

The grounding system and other service equipment may need replacement, depending on their condition and the upgrade scope.

The electrical panel may need to be replaced.
Service conductors and the main disconnect may need changes.
The meter socket may also be part of the work.

GMB Electric assesses the existing equipment and explains which parts belong in your proposed scope.

Can a tripping breaker mean I need an upgrade?

A tripping breaker can point to a problem, but it doesn't establish the need for a service upgrade. An overloaded circuit or a fault may be involved. We'll assess the breaker and circuit before recommending a repair or discussing broader changes to the service.

Which panel conditions can change the quoted price?

Panel condition and the equipment that needs replacement can change the quoted price. Access to the panel and related work also affect the scope. We'll use the property's details to prepare a quote, so tell us about any known damage or planned electrical changes.

How should I prepare for the panel assessment?

Clear access to the panel helps us assess the equipment. Keep the area around it accessible, but don't remove the cover or touch exposed parts. You can also tell us about breaker trips and equipment you plan to add, so we understand your concerns.

When part of the property loses power, what should I tell you?

The affected rooms and any tripped breakers give us useful information about a partial outage. Tell us what was running and whether you noticed unusual sounds or smells. We'll use those details to guide our inspection and discuss whether the issue calls for a repair.

Why might the planned equipment change the service work?

New electrical equipment adds demand that the existing service must be able to support. The equipment's requirements and the property's existing load both matter. We'll consider those details when we assess the service and explain whether the proposed work fits your needs.
