Electrical Panel Upgrade in Zionsville

There are many older houses in the region with outdated panels that no longer meet modern power needs. Current electrical panels that are older than 25 years are likely due for replacement. You may also experience signs that your panel is old or malfunctioning. These can include high electricity usage, frequent circuit breaker trips, buzzing sounds, and corrosion. The best way to determine if you need a new panel is to schedule an inspection. Our electricians will perform a thorough inspection and provide you with an honest, professional recommendation.

An electrical panel upgrade is major electrical work that requires building permits. We’ll acquire all necessary permits before any work begins. Our electricians will install your new panel per the Indiana Electrical Code (IEC), which is based on the National Electrical Code. We’ll then finalize the permit through a local code-compliance inspection.

The IEC requires a 100-amp panel at a minimum. Many modern households need between 150 and 200 amps. Larger houses can require 250 amps or even more. We’ll perform custom load calculations to determine your current needs and project your future needs.

Every panel has a limit to how many circuits it can support. You need a new panel that at least supports enough circuits for your home’s current devices without overloading any. It’s also a good idea to have the added capacity for circuits you may need in the future. You may, for instance, need to install a new circuit for an EV charger or a tankless water heater.

As of 2025, the IEC now requires whole-house surge protection for all residential electrical panels. The IEC requires either a Type 1 or Type 2 surge protection device (SPD). Type SPDs are panel-side devices that protect against internal and external surges. Type 1 SPDs are service-side devices that provide advanced protection against external surges. Those can include anomalous grid power and direct lighting strikes. It’s an option to have both Type 1 and Type 2 SPDs for multiple layers of protection.

An electrical panel replacement is also an excellent time to upgrade other aspects of your electrical system. You can add outlets, switches, dimmers, lights, and other devices. We can upgrade your outlets with GFCI and AFCI protection. Other options for your outlets include smart features, USB ports, and integrated local surge protection.
