Electrical Service Elements

Electrical Meters

  • This is the device that brings electricity into your home from your local utility.
  • It monitors (“meters”) how much electricity you’re using.
  • It should be resealed every two to three years to avoid water damage.

Electrical Panel (Breaker Box)

  • The panel is a distribution board that divides your electricity into several “circuits.”
  • Most panels have a series of switches, known as circuit breakers, in two columns.
  • If you blow a fuse or the electricity goes out in part of your house, check your panel to see if you’ve tripped a circuit breaker.
  • Before resetting it, verify that the affected circuit is clear of danger like water or loose wires.
  • Turn off specific breakers if you’re doing work in your home, like installing a new outlet or fixture.

Electrical Service Riser

  • If you have overhead power lines in your neighborhood, you may have a riser installed on your roof to connect to the overhead lines.
  • Any wiring outside your home needs to be inspected regularly.
  • Cracked wiring can allow water to seep into your panel and main breakers, frying your electrical system.

Grounding System

  • Grounding systems use a thick copper wire to connect your home’s electricity to a grounding device, such as a copper rod in the ground or a cold water pipe.
  • It re-routes extra energy away from your home — this decreases the risk of burning out your appliances or electrocuting someone in your home.  
  • An improperly grounded home could make your home unsafe during severe weather or a power outage.
  • Make sure your grounding system is properly installed before a storm hits.

Electrical Panel Repair

When your electrical panel is not working as it should, fast and professional repairs are essential.

GEM’s electricians identify the source of the issue and address it with safe, effective solutions. Some of these signs can indicate that it’s time to schedule an electrical panel repair with GEM:

Breakers that trip often can signal that your electrical panel is struggling to handle your home’s power demands. Repairs can help restore proper function and prevent ongoing disruptions.

Lights that flicker or dim when appliances are in use may point to an issue inside the panel. Addressing the problem helps ensure steady, reliable power throughout your home.

A burning smell or warmth around your electrical panel is a serious warning sign. Prompt repairs are critical to reduce the risk of electrical hazards.

If certain rooms or circuits lose power while others work fine, your panel may have damaged or failing components. Repairing the panel helps restore consistent power distribution.

Electrical Panel Installation

A properly installed electrical panel is the foundation of a safe and reliable electrical system.

GEM helps homeowners choose the right panel to support modern energy demands and future needs. Our licensed electricians handle installation with precision and attention to safety standards. Some of the benefits of installing a new electrical panel include:

A new electrical panel reduces the risk of overheating, overloaded circuits, and electrical hazards. Proper installation helps ensure your home meets current safety standards.

Today’s homes rely on more electronics, appliances, and smart technology than ever before. A new panel provides the capacity needed to handle increased electrical demand safely.

An upgraded panel helps reduce issues like tripped breakers and inconsistent power. This leads to smoother, more reliable performance throughout your home.

A modern electrical panel can add value and appeal to your home. It also gives homeowners peace of mind knowing their electrical system is built for long-term use.

Electrical Panel Inspection

Electrical panel inspections help uncover hidden issues before they become serious problems.

GEM’s electricians thoroughly evaluate your panel for wear, damage, and code concerns. Inspections are especially valuable for older homes, new homeowners, or before major upgrades. Here’s what GEM looks for during an electrical panel inspection:

We examine breakers and fuses for signs of wear, damage, or improper operation. Identifying issues early helps prevent failures and supports safe, consistent power.

Our team looks for discoloration, scorch marks, or other signs of excessive heat inside the panel. These indicators can point to serious electrical problems that need immediate attention.

Connections are checked for looseness, corrosion, or physical damage that could affect performance. Securing and correcting these issues helps prevent arcing, outages, and safety risks.

We verify that grounding and bonding systems are correctly installed and functioning as intended. Proper grounding helps protect your home and ensures electricity flows safely through the system.

Make Sure Your Home Has Enough Electrical Capacity

When installing new equipment, it’s important to make sure your service panel can handle the load.

GEM can always add more capacity to your electrical panel. We can also inspect and replace it to ensure safety and avoid potential hazards from improperly wired or overloaded circuits. GEM technicians have the experience to size your panel for current and future needs.

Today’s homes rely on more power than ever before, from high-efficiency HVAC systems to smart home devices. Ensuring proper electrical capacity helps your home support these technologies safely and reliably.

When a panel does not have enough capacity, circuits can become overloaded and create safety concerns. Proper sizing helps reduce the risk of tripped breakers, power interruptions, and overheating.

Renovations, finished basements, and new appliances all increase electrical demand. Planning for added capacity ensures your panel can handle upgrades without strain.

Adequate electrical capacity helps protect wiring, breakers, and connected systems from excessive load. This added protection supports a safer home environment for your family.
