Electrical fault diagnosis for homes and businesses

Electrical troubleshooting gives Noblesville property owners a way to investigate a burning smell near an outlet or wiring. We examine the affected area and look for the source of the fault. A smell doesn't identify the damaged part on its own.

We recommend keeping the affected outlet out of use until we can assess it, because a visible mark may not show the full extent of the problem.

Note where the smell is strongest and which outlets or lights are affected.
Tell us if the smell appeared while an appliance was plugged.
Keep the affected outlet accessible without touching damaged parts.

Choosing the right work for an electrical fault

Residential and commercial concerns

Fault diagnosis fits both homes and business properties. We're insured, and we explain the work in plain language.

Diagnosis before repair

A burning smell calls for an assessment of its source. You'll have a clearer basis for deciding on repairs once we identify the affected parts.

Planned installation

Troubleshooting isn't the right starting point for every job. If you want a new light or ceiling fan and have no fault to investigate, ask us about installation.

A client scenario this service addresses

A homeowner might notice a smell near an outlet after plugging in an appliance. We'd assess the outlet and its circuit, then explain whether the affected wiring or connection needs repair.

Process

How we investigate an electrical fault

Describe the symptoms

Tell us where you noticed the smell and which outlets or equipment are affected.

Trace the affected circuit

We inspect accessible parts and trace the circuit to narrow down the source.

Discuss the repair and estimate

We explain our findings and provide a free estimate for the work under consideration.

Complete the agreed work

Once you approve the repair, we address the identified fault and check the affected electrical work.

Choosing between fault diagnosis and installation

The work you need depends on whether you're investigating a fault or adding a fixture.

Work	Best fit	Next step
Fault diagnosis	A burning smell or damaged outlet	Ask us to assess the affected circuit.
Installation	A planned light or ceiling fan	Discuss the fixture and placement with us.

Tracing a burning smell through wiring

Scorched wiring: Scorch marks can show where heat has damaged insulation or wiring. We assess the affected area to determine the repair scope.
Arcing connections: An arc is electricity jumping across a gap. We check connections for signs of damage when the symptoms point to an electrical fault.
Thermal inspection: A thermal inspection checks for unusual heat. We consider the symptoms and access to the affected area when deciding how to investigate.

Questions about burning smells and electrical faults

How is a burning electrical smell traced?

GMB Electric traces a burning smell from overheated outlets by inspecting the outlet and its associated circuit. The source may be at the outlet or elsewhere along the wiring. We look for damaged parts and connections, then explain what we find and what repair work is needed.

For Electrical Troubleshooting, what should I do if I smell burning near the panel?

A burning smell near a panel calls for keeping away from the affected area and arranging an electrical assessment. Don't touch the panel or attempt to open it. Tell us where you noticed the smell and whether you've also noticed a power loss.

Can you repair the fault after finding it for Electrical Troubleshooting?

Yes, we provide electrical repairs after identifying the fault and discussing the work with you. The repair scope depends on the damaged part and what we find during the assessment. We'll explain the proposed work so you can decide how to proceed.

When scheduling Electrical Troubleshooting, should I replace a tripped breaker myself?

A tripped breaker calls for an assessment of the circuit before anyone replaces the breaker. Don't open the panel or try to replace the breaker yourself. Tell us what happened and which parts of the property lost power, and we'll investigate the problem.

Which details should I share before an assessment for Electrical Troubleshooting?

The location of the smell and the affected equipment help us understand the problem. Tell us about any visible discoloration or power loss, too. You don't need to handle an outlet or open a panel to gather those details. We'll discuss access to the affected area with you.
