Brian

“Zimmerman Electric Indy has been great to work with. Within two hours of first calling they were on site and provided the estimate. The team went above and beyond what was certainly a challenging installation. I am very impressed and will absolutely recommend them to anyone needing electrical services.”

Paul Linn

“Zimmerman electric Indy is fast and efficient. I had messaged them a few days ago and wanted a price to install a Tesla wall charger at my house. He gave me a quote the same day and was able to install it before I brought the vehicle home. They did great work and cleaned up any mess they created after the work was done. They did a great job and would highly recommend them for all your electrical needs.”

What residential electrical services does Zimmerman Electric Indy provide in Indianapolis?

Zimmerman Electric Indy provides comprehensive residential electrical services in Indianapolis and surrounding communities, including whole-home rewiring, electrical panel upgrades and replacements, circuit installation and repair, indoor and outdoor lighting design and installation, outlet and switch upgrades (including GFCI, USB, and smart switches), whole-house surge protection, smoke and carbon monoxide detector installation, new construction wiring, home addition and remodel wiring, outbuilding and garage wiring, hot tub disconnect installation, and other electrical repair. We serve Marion County, Hamilton County, Hancock County, Hendricks County, Boone County, Johnson County, and surrounding areas.

Do you offer electrical panel upgrades for older homes?

Yes. Zimmerman Electric Indy specializes in electrical panel upgrades for older Indianapolis homes. If your home has a fuse box, a panel under 100 amps, or a panel that is over 20 years old, an upgrade to a modern circuit breaker panel (typically 200-amp for most homes) will improve safety, eliminate frequent breaker trips, and support the electrical demands of modern appliances, HVAC systems, EV chargers, and home offices. We handle the full process including permit acquisition, AES Indiana coordination, installation, and BNS inspection scheduling.

How do I know if my home needs electrical rewiring?

Common signs that your Indianapolis home may need rewiring include: frequent breaker trips or blown fuses, flickering or dimming lights (especially when appliances turn on), discolored or warm outlets and switch plates, a burning or unusual smell near outlets or the panel, two-prong outlets throughout the home (indicating ungrounded wiring), and visible knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring in the attic or basement. If your home was built before 1970 and has not been rewired, we strongly recommend a professional electrical inspection. Zimmerman Electric Indy provides free assessments for rewiring projects.

How much does a residential electrical upgrade typically cost in Indianapolis?

Costs vary depending on the scope of work. In Indianapolis, typical price ranges for common residential electrical projects are: an electrical panel replacement or upgrade ranges from $2,500 to $3,000, a whole-home service upgrade to 100A (meter, riser, panel) is $3,200, a whole-home service upgrade to 200A (meter, riser, panel) is $4,200, and whole-home rewiring typically costs ~$16 per sq ft (~$16,000 per 1,000 sq ft) depending on the age and condition of the home.

Smaller upgrades like an outlet, switch, or GFCI replacement run from $300 to $500 per location, recessed lighting installation is $200 per fixture (supplied and installed), a ceiling fan replacement is $450 (or $800 to $1,000 if new wiring is required), and a whole-house surge protector installation ranges from $450 to $650.

Zimmerman Electric Indy provides free, no-obligation estimates for every project so you know the exact cost before any work begins. Call +1 317-939-9197 to request your estimate.

Disclaimer: All pricing shown is estimated and intended as a general reference only. Actual project pricing is subject to change based on market conditions, material costs, site conditions, scope of work, and other project-specific factors.

Do you provide whole-home surge protection installation?

Yes. Zimmerman Electric Indy installs whole-house surge protection devices at the main electrical panel in your home. These devices protect all connected electronics, appliances, and HVAC equipment from voltage spikes caused by lightning, utility grid fluctuations, and large appliance cycling. Installation typically takes 1–2 hours and costs between $450 and $650, depending on the device selected and your panel configuration.

Can you install new lighting fixtures and ceiling fans?

Absolutely. Zimmerman Electric Indy installs all types of indoor and outdoor lighting fixtures, including recessed lights, pendant lights, chandeliers, under-cabinet lighting, track lighting, landscape lighting, and security lighting. We also install ceiling fans with proper electrical box support, wiring, and switch controls. If you are unsure whether your existing wiring or junction box can support a new fixture, our electricians will assess the situation and handle any necessary upgrades.
