Yes. Electrical work in Oklahoma must be done by electricians licensed through the Oklahoma Construction Industries Board (CIB). Our electricians carry state licenses and liability insurance, and we pull City of Owasso permits whenever the job requires one.

Most panel replacements, new circuits, EV charger circuits, generator hookups and rewiring need a permit from the City of Owasso Community Development Department. We handle the permit and schedule the inspection for you, so you don't have to deal with the paperwork.

Every home is different, so we quote after a quick on-site look. Price depends on the current panel, the meter base, whether PSO (Public Service Company of Oklahoma) needs to disconnect service, and permit fees. You get a written, flat-rate price before any work starts.

Yes, we recommend it. Federal Pacific Stab-Lok and Zinsco panels have a long history of breakers that fail to trip. Many homes near downtown Owasso built in the 1970s and 80s still have them, and some insurance companies won't renew a policy until they're replaced.

Yes. We install hardwired and plug-in (NEMA 14-50) Level 2 chargers for Tesla, Ford, Chevy, Rivian, Hyundai and other EVs. We check your panel's load first, then run a dedicated 240-volt circuit to your garage.

Usually it's an overloaded circuit, a short, a ground fault, or a worn-out breaker. A breaker that trips again right after you reset it is doing its job. Stop resetting it and call an electrician, because the problem can get worse and become a fire risk.

A loose bulb or a dimmer that is not LED-compatible is the usual cause in one room. Flickering across several rooms can point to a loose connection or a service problem and should be checked by an electrician.

Usually an overloaded circuit, a short, a ground fault or a worn-out breaker. We test the circuit to find the actual cause instead of just replacing the breaker.
