Every residential project is completed with permits pulled where required and inspections passed.

Work is scheduled to minimize disruption to your business operations, including after-hours and weekend availability.

We solve:

  • Non-compliant wiring flagged during commercial property inspections
  • Outdated lighting systems that increase energy costs

Panel Upgrade and Electrical Repair Solutions

Kochs Electric is the go-to contractor for electrical panel upgrades and urgent electrical repairs across Indiana.

Many Indiana homes still operate on 100-amp panels or outdated Federal Pacific and Zinsco equipment that poses a fire risk and cannot support today’s electrical demands. Kochs Electric replaces and upgrades panels to 200-amp and 400-amp service, installs subpanels, and repairs faulty breakers, damaged wiring, and failed connections. All panel work is permitted and inspected through the local building department.Indiana homes built before 1980 commonly have 100-amp service – which cannot safely support an EV charger, central air conditioning, and modern appliance loads running simultaneously. If your home was built before 1980 and you are adding any of these loads, a panel upgrade is typically required before other work can proceed.

We solve:

  • Panels that trip repeatedly under normal household loads
  • Federal Pacific Stab-Lok and Zinsco panels with known safety defects
  • Insufficient amperage for EV chargers, hot tubs, or home additions
  • Burn marks, heat damage, or burning smells near the electrical panel
  • Failed inspections due to panel or wiring deficiencies
  • Panels with no room for additional circuits

EV Charger Installation Solutions

Kochs Electric is a certified EV charger installer serving Indiana homeowners and commercial property owners who need reliable Level 2 charging at home or on-site.

Kochs Electric installs hardwired Level 2 EV charging stations from leading manufacturers including Tesla, ChargePoint, Enel X, and Clipper Creek. Each installation includes a dedicated 240-volt circuit, proper breaker sizing, and permit filing with the local jurisdiction. Commercial installations include multi-unit charging setups for parking structures, fleet facilities, and apartment complexes.

We solve:

  • Slow overnight charging from a standard 120-volt outlet
  • No dedicated circuit available for a Level 2 charger
  • Panel capacity insufficient to support EV charging load
  • Permit and inspection requirements for EV charger installation
  • Outdoor weatherproof charger installation for garages and driveways
  • Multi-unit dwelling EV charging access for tenants

What Customers Say

Kochs Electric is rated highly by Indiana homeowners and business owners for reliable electrical work, clear communication, and clean, code-compliant results.

“Our panel was throwing breakers every week and we were worried about a fire. Kochs Electric came out the same day, diagnosed the problem immediately, and replaced the panel within two days. The permit was pulled, the inspection passed, and we haven’t had a single issue since. Professional, reliable, and fairly priced.” – Brice C., Broad Ripple homeowner

“We needed a full electrical buildout for a new restaurant space in downtown Indianapolis. Kochs Electric handled everything – the three-phase service, kitchen circuits, hood ventilation wiring, and exterior signage. They worked around our construction schedule and the city inspection passed on the first visit. I’ll use them for every location going forward.” – Nil O., restaurant owner, Downtown Indianapolis

“I called three electricians about installing a Level 2 EV charger in my garage. Kochs Electric was the only one who explained the permit process clearly, gave me a written flat-rate quote, and showed up when they said they would. The charger was installed and inspected within a week. Exactly what I needed.” – Irena A., Carmel homeowner

Common Questions

How long does a panel upgrade take?

Most residential panel replacements take 4-8 hours and are completed in a single day. Kochs Electric pulls the required permit in advance, coordinates the utility disconnect if needed, and schedules the final inspection for the same week – so most homeowners have a fully inspected, upgraded panel within a few business days of the initial call.

Do I need a permit for outlet or circuit work in Indianapolis?

Yes – most electrical work in Indianapolis and surrounding Marion County municipalities requires a permit under the Indiana Electrical Code. This includes new circuits, dedicated appliance circuits, and EV charger installations. Kochs Electric handles all permit filings and coordinates the required inspection, so you do not need to manage this process yourself.

What should I do if my circuit breaker keeps tripping?

A repeatedly tripping breaker is a warning sign, not a normal condition. It typically indicates an overloaded circuit, a short circuit, or a failing breaker – each of which can become a fire hazard if ignored. Do not simply reset it and move on. Call Kochs Electric for a same-day diagnostic: (317) 680-7907.
