Twisted Electric LLC is a Campbellsburg-based contractor serving Paoli and Orange County, with crews running south on SR-37 and US-150 for electrical, excavation, and construction work. Three divisions, one company. Paoli runs on a mix of historic Federal-style and Victorian homes around the courthouse square, mid-century housing along the US-150 corridor, rural ag operations spread across Orange County, and the seasonal commercial pull from Paoli Peaks and the Hoosier National Forest property base.
Residential Electrical Services in Paoli, IN
Historic homes around the Paoli courthouse square, some dating to the original Quaker settlement era, run on the toughest electrical infrastructure in Orange County: undersized service entrances, original Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels, knob-and-tube remnants in attics, and aluminum branch wiring layered in during 1960s and 1970s remodels. Newer subdivisions and rural acreage have their own headaches: GFCI and AFCI nuisance trips, builder-grade panels that won’t accept a backfeed breaker, and code revisions that didn’t exist when the meter base was set.
Residential electrical services handled for Paoli homeowners:
- 200-amp panel upgrades and panel replacements
- Whole-home rewires for older properties
- Breaker replacements and panel troubleshooting
- Dedicated circuits for ranges, dryers, EV chargers, well pumps, and HVAC
- Outlet, switch, GFCI, and AFCI installation and repair
- Interior and exterior light installation
- Ceiling fan and chandelier hookups
- Service drop relocations and meter base replacements
- Whole-home surge protection at the panel
- Rough-ins and trim-outs for additions, remodels, and new builds
Commercial & Agricultural Electrical in Paoli, IN
Paoli’s commercial profile runs from courthouse-square professional offices and downtown storefronts, to the seasonal demand from Paoli Peaks and the surrounding ski-area lodging, to the retail and service businesses along the US-150 corridor, plus the working farms and ag operations spread across Orange County. Three-phase service, parking lot lighting, code compliance work, and tenant buildouts each require their own approach.
Commercial and agricultural electrical work:
- Three-phase service installation and troubleshooting
- Parking lot, pole, and security lighting
- Code compliance inspections and corrections
- Tenant buildout wiring for offices, restaurants, and retail
- Barn, grain bin, and shop wiring for agricultural properties
- Pivot and irrigation circuits
- Equipment connections and motor controls
- Sub-panel installation for outbuildings
Generator Installation in Paoli, IN
Outages from severe winter storms, ice loading, and rural hot-line failures hit Orange County hard. Properties on the rural edges of Paoli and out toward Valeene, Chambersburg, and the Hoosier National Forest see longer outages than properties in town. Standby generator work in Paoli covers load calculation, generator sizing for either critical-circuit or whole-home coverage, transfer switch wiring, concrete pad setting, and the gas line coordination needed to bring the unit online.
Generator services include:
- Standby generator sizing and load calculations
- Automatic and manual transfer switch installation
- Concrete pad setting and equipment placement
- Panel tie-ins and circuit prioritization
- Wiring connections to existing service
Excavation & Underground Utilities in Paoli, IN
Twisted Electric’s excavation division, N&M Excavating, handles the dirt work most Paoli properties depend on. Rural Orange County acreage runs on private septic, well water, and underground service drops to detached garages, barns, and pole structures. Karst topography and limestone close to the surface across parts of Orange County also make routine trenching harder than most contractors expect.
Excavation and underground services in Paoli:
- Site preparation and grading
- Underground circuit trenching and conduit installation
- Waterline installation
- Sewer line repair and replacement
- Septic system installation and repair
- Driveway construction and grading
- Land clearing and demolition
- Erosion control
- Snow removal for commercial and residential
Construction & Site Work in Paoli, IN
The construction division handles new builds, additions, in-ground pools, deck and outdoor living, and the pole barns and ag buildings common across rural Orange County. Working with the same crew that does the electrical and the excavation means the slab gets poured with the conduit already stubbed up, and the pole barn doesn’t sit empty waiting for a different contractor to run circuits.
Construction services for Paoli property owners:
- New home construction
- Inground pool construction
- Pool and hot tub wiring (bonded and code-compliant)
- Deck and outdoor living builds
- Barn and agricultural buildings
- Concrete and flatwork including footings, slabs, sidewalks, and pads
- Site coordination across electrical, excavation, and structural trades

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a 200-amp panel upgrade cost in Paoli, IN?
Pricing depends on the existing service entrance, the condition of the meter base, whether the mast and weatherhead need replacing, and how much branch circuitry needs to be moved or relabeled. Twisted Electric quotes every panel upgrade upfront after a site visit, with no hidden fees or surprise charges. Call 812-276-5639 for a free estimate.
Do I need a permit for electrical work in Orange County, IN?
Most service entrance changes, panel upgrades, additions, and new construction electrical require a permit and inspection through Orange County or the local jurisdiction. Simple repairs like swapping a receptacle or replacing a fixture typically do not. Twisted Electric pulls permits when the job calls for one and coordinates the inspection so the work passes the first time.
How fast can you respond to an electrical emergency in Paoli?
The Twisted Electric shop is in Campbellsburg, about thirty minutes north of Paoli via SR-37 and US-150. 24/7 emergency response is available for power outages, burned outlets, smoking panels, downed service drops, and storm damage. Most emergency calls in Paoli and Orange County are reached the same day they come in.
Do you handle agricultural, pole barn, and grain bin wiring?
Yes. Agricultural electrical is a regular part of the workload across Orange County and the rest of Southern Indiana. That covers barn and shop wiring, pole structure service drops, grain bin circuits, irrigation pivots, sub-panels for outbuildings, and three-phase service for larger ag operations.
Can the same crew handle excavation and electrical for my project?
Yes. Twisted Electric runs an in-house excavation division, N&M Excavating, plus a construction division. That means underground circuit trenching, septic and waterline runs, driveway grading, concrete flatwork, and the electrical rough-in are handled by one company under one schedule. Fewer contractors on the job, no waiting between trades, and a single point of accountability.
