Panel Upgrades & Electrical Service Changes in Indianapolis

Today's homes run EV chargers, heat pumps, and finished basements on panels sized for 1975. We upgrade 100A–400A services, add sub-panels, and protect the whole house.


Signs your panel is holding you back

  • Breakers trip when two big loads run at once
  • You're adding an EV charger, hot tub, or major appliance
  • Fuse box, split-bus panel, or a panel brand with a known failure history
  • Warm panel cover, buzzing, or burning smell — call us today, not next week
  • No room left for new circuits

A service change is one of the highest-value upgrades a home can get: it makes every future project — EV, generator, remodel — possible, and it's a line item every home inspector and buyer looks at.
