Branch Electric is the licensed electrical contractor Central Indiana homeowners, remodelers, and business owners trust for electrical panel upgrades, breaker box replacement, fuse box conversions, and electrical safety inspections. From outdated 60-amp panels to modern 200-amp and 400-amp service upgrades — we handle every panel project to code, with permits pulled and inspections passed. Serving Indianapolis, Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, Westfield, Zionsville, Greenwood, Avon, Plainfield, and all of Hamilton and Marion County.
An electrical panel — also called a breaker box, service panel, load center, or main panel — is the steel enclosure that houses the main breaker and branch-circuit breakers powering every outlet, light, and appliance in your home or business. Branch Electric handles electrical panel upgrades, breaker box replacement, fuse box to breaker panel conversions, and electrical panel inspections throughout Central Indiana, Hamilton County, and Marion County. Every panel project is permitted, code-compliant, and inspected.
Your panel is the single most important piece of electrical equipment in the building. When it's outdated, overloaded, damaged, or recalled, everything downstream is at risk — flickering lights, tripping breakers, scorched buses, and in worst-case scenarios, electrical fires.
Branch Electric is a licensed Indiana electrical contractor. We upgrade panels in older Indianapolis homes, replace recalled and damaged panels across Marion County, convert fuse boxes in century-old farmhouses, and install new 200-amp and 400-amp services for homes, remodels, and commercial properties throughout Hamilton County and Central Indiana.
We work directly with homeowners, partner with residential remodelers and general contractors, and handle commercial panel work for property managers, business owners, and real estate professionals.
If you're searching for an electrical panel upgrade near me, a panel upgrade electrician in Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, Westfield, or Indianapolis, or a licensed electrician for breaker box replacement — Branch Electric handles it from evaluation through final inspection.
One licensed electrical contractor for every panel project in Central Indiana.
Upgrade from 60-amp or 100-amp service to a modern 200-amp or 400-amp electrical panel. We handle the full upgrade — service entrance, meter coordination, panel installation, grounding, and inspection.
Replace outdated, damaged, recalled, or overloaded breaker boxes with new code-compliant panels. We've worked on every major panel brand and every condition you can imagine in Central Indiana homes.
Older Central Indiana homes still running on fuse boxes need a conversion to a modern breaker panel — safer, code-compliant, insurable, and ready for today's electrical loads.
Licensed panel inspections for homeowners, homebuyers, sellers, real estate agents, insurance requirements, and commercial properties — with clear documentation and an honest assessment.
Service panel replacement covers the full main panel and the connection to the utility. We coordinate with the power company, handle the disconnect and re-energize, and minimize downtime for your home or business.
Adding circuits for a remodel, a detached garage, a workshop, or a commercial tenant space? We install properly sized subpanels with the right feeder, breakers, and grounding configuration.
If you're seeing any of these in your home or commercial property, it's time for a licensed electrical panel inspection.
Seeing any of these? Call Branch Electric at (463) 210-1544 for a licensed panel inspection.
Modern homes draw more power than ever. If your panel was sized for 1980s electrical loads, it's almost certainly undersized for what you're plugging in today.
Kitchen, bath, basement, and whole-home remodels almost always add circuits — appliances, lighting, HVAC, outlets. We size the panel upgrade to your finished project, not your original 1970s panel.
EV chargers require a dedicated 30–60 amp 240-volt circuit. If your panel is full or undersized, we upgrade it (or add a subpanel) so your EV charger installs safely and to code.
Whole-home generators and standby generators require proper panel capacity, a transfer switch, and the right interlock or generator-ready panel. We handle the panel scope of every generator install.
New heat pumps, mini-splits, and high-efficiency HVAC equipment often need more panel capacity than older systems. We size the upgrade for current and future loads.
Home additions add square footage and electrical loads. We upgrade the panel or add a subpanel for the addition so the existing service isn't pushed past its limits.
Solar interconnects, battery backup, and combined solar-and-storage systems all have specific panel and busbar requirements. We upgrade the panel so the interconnection passes inspection.
Panel work is regulated for good reason. Branch Electric handles every panel project to current National Electrical Code and the local Indiana jurisdiction requirements.
Every panel install meets current NEC requirements — grounding, bonding, working clearance, breaker sizing, neutral separation, and labeling.
We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and document the install — so your panel is protected for insurance, resale, and future remodels.
We coordinate the disconnect and re-energize with AES Indiana, Duke Energy, and other Central Indiana utilities so the service swap goes smoothly.
FPE Stab-Lok, Zinsco/Sylvania, Challenger, and other recalled or fire-prone panel brands are replaced with modern UL-listed equipment.
We update grounding electrodes, ground rods, and bonding to current Indiana code — often the biggest unseen improvement in a panel upgrade.
Every panel install is fully labeled, with breaker positions documented and inspection paperwork delivered to you in writing.
From a 100-year-old Indianapolis bungalow to a Hamilton County office building — Branch Electric handles panel work on every property type.

The questions Central Indiana homeowners, real estate agents, and business owners ask us most.
You likely need an electrical panel upgrade if your breakers trip frequently, lights flicker when appliances run, the panel feels warm, you smell burning near the panel, you have an outdated fuse box, or your home has a 60–100 amp service that can't support modern loads. Branch Electric performs panel evaluations across Central Indiana and recommends an upgrade only when one is actually needed.
They're the same thing. "Breaker box," "electrical panel," "service panel," "load center," and "main panel" all refer to the steel enclosure that houses the main breaker and individual branch-circuit breakers feeding your home or business. Branch Electric services every name — and the panel behind it.
Yes. Branch Electric converts outdated fuse boxes to modern breaker panels in older Central Indiana homes. The conversion includes proper grounding, neutral separation, breaker sizing, and full code-compliant installation — often paired with a service upgrade to 200 amps.
Not always — but it's smart. A panel inspection identifies whether an upgrade is truly needed, whether a service upgrade is also required, and whether there are other code issues to address at the same time. Branch Electric offers panel inspections separately, or rolled into the full upgrade scope.
It depends on your panel's amperage, available breaker space, and existing connected load. EV chargers typically need a 30–60 amp dedicated 240-volt circuit. Branch Electric performs a load evaluation before every EV charger installation and recommends a panel upgrade when the existing service can't safely support the new load.
Most modern 200-amp panels can support a whole-home or partial-home generator with the proper transfer switch and interlock. Older or smaller panels often need an upgrade or a dedicated subpanel for the generator-backed circuits. Branch Electric evaluates the panel before any generator installation.
Yes. Electrical panel upgrades require a permit and inspection in nearly every Central Indiana jurisdiction. Permits protect the property owner, satisfy insurance requirements, and confirm the install meets the National Electrical Code. Branch Electric pulls permits and coordinates inspections for every panel upgrade.
Common signs of an overloaded panel include frequent breaker trips, flickering or dimming lights when appliances start, warm panel covers, scorch marks or rust inside the panel, a burning smell near the panel, and breakers that won't reset. Any of these warrants a licensed panel inspection.
