Professional Electrical Panel Repair & Upgrades in Indianapolis, IN

Most people don’t think about their electrical panel until it starts giving little hints something’s off. Maybe the lights dip when a big appliance kicks on, or a breaker keeps tripping for reasons you can’t pin down. Sometimes the panel feels warmer than it should, and that alone can make you stop and wonder what’s going on. When that happens, you want someone who can look it over, explain the issue in plain terms, and get things working safely again. That’s the kind of service we work hard to deliver for homeowners throughout the Greater Indy area.
Chapman has been helping Hoosiers for more than forty years. Our licensed electricians handle electrical panel repair in Indianapolis along with full upgrades and replacements for homes that need more power or improved safety.

Electrical Panel Services We Provide
Electrical issues can feel confusing, so we keep the process simple and transparent. Below are the panel services we help homeowners with most often.
Electrical panel inspection and troubleshooting
If something feels off, we take a close look at your breakers, wiring, grounding, and overall capacity. Once we find the source, we walk you through it in plain language.
Electrical panel repair
Some issues come from a loose connection or a single failing component. We make focused repairs and test the system before we leave.
Full electrical panel replacement and service upgrades
Older Indy homes often have panels that cannot support today’s appliances. If your system needs more capacity, we upgrade it so your home has the power it needs.
Subpanel installation
For workshops, garages, additions, and any space needing dedicated circuits, a subpanel keeps things organized and safe.
Signs You Need Electrical Panel Repair or Upgrade
Here are common signals that tell us a panel needs attention.
- Circuit breakers tripping repeatedly
- Lights dimming or flickering when large appliances start
- A panel that feels warm or makes buzzing or humming sounds
- Visible corrosion or damage inside the panel
- Not enough electrical capacity for new appliances or renovation plans
If you are noticing any of these issues, having a licensed electrician check your system is the safest next step.
Circuit Breaker Replacement
Sometimes the problem is a single breaker. Other times, the breaker gives us clues about a deeper issue inside the panel. Our electricians determine the difference and explain the options.
Signs a breaker may need replacement include:
- A breaker that trips often even when usage is normal
- A breaker that feels warm or gives off a burnt odor
- A breaker that cannot be reset
- A room or circuit that loses power repeatedly
A new breaker only helps if the rest of the system is healthy, and we make sure everything is tested before finishing the job.

Frequently Asked Questions
It is best not to. Breakers sit close to energized components, and a mistake can cause injury or create a hazard inside the panel. A licensed electrician completes the job safely and checks the surrounding wiring at the same time.
Most replacements take several hours because each connection must be installed carefully and tested. We work efficiently, but we never rush the steps that protect your home.
The electrical panel is the main hub that distributes power throughout your home. The breakers inside protect the individual circuits from overheating or drawing too much load.
Many homeowners do, especially in older houses that were built with smaller panels. We can evaluate your system and let you know if the new equipment requires more capacity.
