5 Highlights on Electrical Repairs
Fast fault diagnosis
Kochs Electric uses multimeters, voltmeters, and oscilloscopes to trace faults, measure voltage and current, and pinpoint shorted or overloaded circuits before any repair work begins.
Full-panel service
From tripped breakers and blown fuses to faulty neutral bars and damaged bus bars, we inspect, reset, and repair your electrical panel to restore safe power distribution.
GFCI and AFCI repair
We test, replace, and reconnect ground fault and arc fault circuit interrupters to meet current code requirements and protect your outlets and receptacles.
Wire and conduit repair
Our electricians strip, splice, terminate, and re-route bare or exposed conductors through new or existing conduit, restoring insulated, properly grounded wiring throughout your property.
Motor and transformer repair
We troubleshoot single-phase and three-phase motors, contactors, relays, and transformers, diagnosing resistive, capacitive, and inductive faults that cause equipment failure or power surges.

Why Choose Our Electrical Repairs
Founded by Master Electrician David Koch (Indiana License #EC21400047) and serving Indiana homes and businesses since 2008, Kochs Electric brings qualified, professional expertise to every electrical repair job we take on. We carry general liability and workers’ compensation insurance on every job. Our licensed electricians wire, connect, troubleshoot, and repair residential and commercial electrical systems with precision and care.
We don’t guess. We diagnose. Every repair starts with a thorough inspection using calibrated test equipment — multimeters, ammeters, and voltmeters — to read accurate voltage, current, and wattage data before we touch a single wire or breaker.
Our team is trained to work on live and de-energized systems safely. We follow strict lockout and de-energization procedures before we disconnect, splice, or replace any conductor, fixture, or junction box. That means no shortcuts and no exposed bare wires left behind.
We repair what others replace. If your circuit, switch, dimmer, or ballast can be fixed, we fix it. If it needs replacing, we use top-rated, code-compliant components rated for your specific load and phase requirements.
Kochs Electric stands behind every repair with a workmanship guarantee. If a repaired circuit, outlet, or panel component fails due to our work, we come back and make it right. Serving Indianapolis, Carmel, Fishers, and throughout Indiana – call (317) 680-7907 for same-day and emergency electrical repairs.
Recent repairs include a recurring breaker trip at an Indianapolis restaurant traced to a shorted conductor in the conduit run feeding the walk-in cooler – re-routed, re-terminated, and holding under full commercial load ever since; and a residential GFCI/AFCI upgrade for a Carmel homeowner where a home inspection had flagged unprotected circuits in the kitchen and bathrooms, brought into full NEC 2023 compliance before the closing date.

Signs You Need Electrical Repairs
Breakers that trip repeatedly:
A breaker that trips under normal load isn’t just an inconvenience — it signals an overloaded circuit, a shorted conductor, or a faulty breaker that can no longer handle rated amperage. Kochs Electric traces the circuit, measures the load, and repairs or replaces the breaker and any damaged wiring.
Outlets and receptacles that don't work:
Dead outlets often point to a tripped GFCI, a loose or disconnected wire at the terminal, or a failed receptacle. We test each outlet with a voltmeter, inspect the junction box, and reconnect or replace the faulty component to restore power.
Flickering or dimming lights:
Lights that flicker or dim under load indicate a loose connection, a failing switch or dimmer, or a high-resistance fault in the conductor. We inspect the fixture, ballast, and wiring, then tighten, splice, or replace whatever’s causing the voltage drop.
Burning smells or discolored outlets:
Scorch marks around a receptacle or a burning smell near your panel are signs of a serious fault — arcing, overheating, or a shorted wire. These require immediate inspection. We de-energize the affected circuit, remove the damaged components, and rewire the section to eliminate the hazard.
Buzzing sounds from the panel or switches:
Audible buzzing from a breaker, contactor, or switch usually means a loose connection, a failing component, or an unbalanced three-phase load. We open the panel, inspect the bus bar and neutral bar, and repair or replace the source of the fault before it escalates.

Our Electrical Repairs Process
Inspection and diagnosis
Electrical repairs begin with a full inspection of the reported problem area. We use multimeters, voltmeters, and oscilloscopes to measure voltage, current, and resistance across the affected circuit, outlet, panel, or fixture.
Fault isolation
Once we read the data, we trace the fault to its source — whether that’s a shorted wire, a faulty breaker, a failed GFCI, or a damaged junction box. We identify every affected component before we start any repair work.
De-energization and lockout
We de-energize the circuit or panel section involved in the repair. We verify the conductor is dead with a voltmeter before we disconnect, strip, or splice any wire.
Repair and replacement
We repair or replace the faulty component — whether that’s a breaker, fuse, switch, outlet, wire, conduit section, or transformer. All replacement parts are rated for the correct voltage, amperage, and phase requirements.
Testing and verification
After the repair, we re-energize the circuit and test it under load. We verify correct voltage, check for ground continuity, and confirm the breaker, GFCI, or AFCI responds correctly before we close up and sign off.
Brands We Use
Kochs Electric uses trusted, top-rated brands for every electrical repair — components that are rated, tested, and built to perform reliably in residential and commercial applications.
We only install components that meet or exceed NEC 2023 code requirements – including NEC 210.12 for AFCI-protected branch circuits and NEC 406.4 for receptacle replacements.

FAQs About Electrical Repairs
What does an electrical repair include?
An electrical repair covers diagnosing and fixing any faulty component in your electrical system — wiring, breakers, fuses, outlets, switches, panels, fixtures, GFCI devices, and more. Kochs Electric handles repairs on both residential and commercial systems.
When should I call for electrical repairs?
Call us when you notice tripped breakers that won’t reset, dead outlets, flickering lights, burning smells, buzzing from your panel, or any visible damage to wiring, conduit, or junction boxes. Don’t wait — electrical faults can worsen quickly.
Why do breakers keep tripping?
A breaker trips when a circuit draws more amperage than it’s rated for, when a conductor is shorted, or when the breaker itself is faulty. We measure the load, trace the fault, and repair the circuit or replace the breaker to stop the problem.
How does Kochs Electric troubleshoot electrical problems?
We use multimeters, voltmeters, and ammeters to measure voltage, current, and resistance across your circuits. We trace faults from the panel to the outlet or fixture, isolate the problem, and repair it directly.
Can you repair aluminum wiring?
Yes. We inspect, terminate, and repair aluminum wiring using approved connectors and methods that meet current code requirements, reducing the risk of overheating and arcing at connections.
Does Kochs Electric repair electrical panels?
We repair and replace breakers, fuses, neutral bars, bus bars, and damaged wiring inside residential and commercial panels. If your panel is beyond repair, we’ll recommend a full replacement and walk you through your options.
How long does an electrical repair take?
Most standard repairs – a faulty outlet, a tripped GFCI, a bad breaker – take one to two hours. More complex repairs involving rewiring, conduit replacement, or panel work may take a full day depending on the scope. Call (317) 680-7907 to get a time estimate for your specific repair.
