Need an electrician in Oklahoma City, OK? We handle residential and light commercial electrical work across OKC, from historic homes in Mesta Park, Heritage Hills, Crown Heights, Edgemere Park and the Paseo to mid-century neighborhoods in The Village, Capitol Hill and south OKC, and newer homes in northwest and far south Oklahoma City. Tripping breakers, outdated or problem panels, wiring repairs, lighting, ceiling fans, outlets, EV chargers, surge protection and generator hookups: we find the actual cause, explain it in plain terms, and give you a written quote before any work begins.
Oklahoma City is huge and its housing spans more than a century, so the electrical issues vary a lot from one neighborhood to the next. A 1920s bungalow near Midtown, a 1960s ranch in south OKC and a 2015 build off the Kilpatrick Turnpike need very different things. This page breaks down what OKC homeowners call about and how we handle it.
Electrical Services in Oklahoma City
Electrical Repair and Troubleshooting
Dead outlets, flickering or dimming lights, warm switches, buzzing, burning smells, partial power loss. We test and trace the fault to the connection, device, cable or circuit causing it and repair it properly. See electrical wiring repair in Oklahoma City.
Electrical Panel Upgrades and Replacement
Many OKC homes still have 60- or 100-amp service, fuse boxes or problem panels like Federal Pacific and Zinsco. We handle 100 to 200 amp upgrades, like-for-like replacements, fuse box conversions, permits through the City of Oklahoma City, inspection, and OG&E coordination. See electrical panel upgrades in Oklahoma City.
Circuit Breaker Repair and Installation
Breakers that trip under light load, won't reset, buzz or run warm, plus new breakers and circuits for appliances, workshops and EV chargers. See circuit breaker replacement in Oklahoma City.
Wiring, Rewiring and Knob-and-Tube
Some of OKC's oldest homes still have knob-and-tube or cloth-insulated wiring. We do targeted repairs, grounding upgrades, partial rewiring of the worst circuits, and full rewiring for historic homes, working carefully around plaster and original trim. See home rewiring in Oklahoma City.
Lighting Installation
Chandeliers, pendants, recessed and LED lighting, under-cabinet lights, porch and patio lights, landscape lighting and security lighting. See lighting installation in Oklahoma City and recessed lighting in OKC.
Outlets, GFCI and Ceiling Fans
Two-prong outlet replacement, new and 240-volt outlets, USB outlets, GFCI protection, and fan installs on fan-rated boxes. See outlet installation, GFCI outlets and ceiling fan installation in OKC.
Emergency Electrical Service
Sparks, smoke, burning smells, a hot panel, or losing power when there's no OG&E outage. Turn off the circuit or main if it's safe and call. See emergency electrical repair in Oklahoma City.
Storm Protection and Backup Power
OKC's spring storms and occasional ice storms bring surges and outages. We install whole-home surge protection and backup generators, inlets and transfer switches.

Electrical Issues by OKC Neighborhood Type
Historic districts (Mesta Park, Heritage Hills, Crown Heights, Edgemere, the Paseo)
Homes from the 1910s through the 1930s may still have active knob-and-tube wiring, cloth-insulated circuits, very few outlets, and service that was upgraded piecemeal over decades. Insurance companies and buyers often flag these at sale time. We focus on safety first, preserve plaster and trim where we can, and make sure new circuits and panels meet current code.
Mid-century neighborhoods (The Village, Capitol Hill, south and northwest OKC)
Homes from the 1950s through the 1970s commonly have original 60- or 100-amp panels, ungrounded outlets, overloaded kitchen and laundry circuits, and in some late-1960s and 1970s homes, aluminum branch wiring. Problem panels like Federal Pacific and Zinsco are common in this era.
1980s–2000s and newer suburbs
Original breakers and devices in 1980s and 1990s homes are wearing out, and backstabbed outlet connections cause dead outlets and flicker. Newer homes in far northwest and south OKC mostly need additions: EV chargers, shop and garage circuits, ceiling fans, outdoor lighting and surge protection.
Rentals and multi-unit properties
Landlords and property managers across OKC call for GFCI and smoke detector updates, damaged device replacement, unit-turn repairs, and circuit upgrades where tenants overload old wiring with window AC units and space heaters.

Permits, Utility and Licensing in OKC
Panel replacements, service upgrades, new circuits and larger rewiring jobs in Oklahoma City generally require an electrical permit and inspection through the City of Oklahoma City. Simple repairs and like-for-like device replacements usually don't. Most of OKC is served by OG&E, and we schedule the disconnect and reconnect for service work. Oklahoma electricians are licensed through the Construction Industries Board; you can ask for a license number before work begins.
