Twisted Electric LLC is a Campbellsburg-based contractor serving Salem and the rest of Washington County since 2019. Three divisions, one crew: licensed electrical work, in-house excavation through N&M Excavating, and full construction services. Keeping all three under one roof means cleaner scheduling, fewer markups, and one accountable point of contact when a project crosses trades, a pole barn that needs grading, footings, framing, and electrical rough-in, for example, or a backyard pool that needs excavation, concrete, and bonded wiring.
Residential Electrical Services in Salem, IN
Older homes around Salem often run on undersized service entrances, original Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels, knob-and-tube remnants in attics, or aluminum branch wiring from the late ’60s and ’70s. Newer subdivisions outside town carry 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 Salem 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 Salem, IN
Commercial properties around the Salem square, the schools, and the agricultural operations spread across Washington County all run on different load profiles. Three-phase service, parking lot lighting, ag service entrances for grain bins and irrigation pivots, 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 Salem, IN
Outages from ice storms, summer derechos, and rural hot-line failures hit Washington County harder than they hit metro Indianapolis. Standby generator work in Salem 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 Salem, IN
Twisted Electric’s excavation division, N&M Excavating, runs its own equipment and operators. That covers the dirt work most Salem electrical and construction jobs depend on, plus standalone excavation projects: a new septic field on a rural acre, a sewer line collapse under an older home downtown, a gravel driveway that needs to be cut and crowned before the first frost.
Excavation and underground services in Salem:
- 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 Salem, IN
The construction division handles new builds, additions, outdoor structures, and the wet trades that go with them. Working with the same crew that does the electrical and the excavation means the slab gets poured with the conduit already stubbed up, the pool deck gets bonded correctly the first time, and the barn doesn’t sit empty waiting on a different contractor to show up and run circuits.
Construction services for Salem 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 Salem, 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 Washington County, IN?
Most service entrance changes, panel upgrades, additions, and new construction electrical require a permit and inspection. 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 Salem?
The Twisted Electric shop is in Campbellsburg, about fifteen minutes from the Salem square. 24/7 emergency response is available for power outages, burned outlets, smoking panels, downed service drops, and storm damage. Most emergency calls in Salem 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 Washington County. 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 if anything needs adjusting.
