Coulson Electric has been the electrician Owasso homeowners and businesses call since 1995. That is 31 years of panel upgrades, wiring repairs, lighting installs, and everything in between, all done by licensed electricians who know this area and take the work seriously. We serve residential customers, commercial tenants, property managers, and contractors across Owasso and the wider Tulsa County area. The electrician who works on your home lives and works right here. Same-day electrical service available means that when something goes wrong, you are not waiting days for help. Call (539) 282-9878 to get a quote or schedule service.
Before a small wiring issue turns into a hazard, call and get it looked at. The problems we hear about most often are dead outlets, breakers that trip and will not reset, lights that flicker for no clear reason, burning smells near a panel or outlet, and rooms that have lost power while the rest of the house is fine. These are not always simple fixes, and guessing at the cause can make things worse.
When we arrive, we run a systematic diagnostic. We check the circuit, test the outlets and connections, look at the breaker, and trace the fault back to its source. We treat your home and its wiring the way we would our own, which means we do not stop at the surface symptom. GFCI and AFCI protection gets checked when it is relevant to the problem, because arc-fault and ground-fault issues are a common cause of nuisance trips and real fire risk. We'll trace it, fix it, and test it before we leave.
If you're not sure your panel can handle the load, that uncertainty is worth resolving before you add another circuit, appliance, or EV charger. Older panels in Owasso homes were sized for a different era of electrical demand. A 100-amp service that worked fine in 1975 may be stretched thin today with a full kitchen, a home office, and a heat pump on the same service entrance.
We handle load calculations, service-entrance assessments, and full panel replacements sized for what your home or building actually needs. When a renovation or addition calls for a subpanel in a detached garage or outbuilding, we wire that too. Everything is done to code, with the capacity to support the circuits you have now and the ones you will want later. We'll take care of the circuits from here.
Whether it's a single outlet or a full panel upgrade, the standard of work stays the same. Adding an outlet in a room that does not have enough of them, replacing a switch that stopped working, upgrading kitchen and bathroom receptacles to GFCI protection, installing a dimmer in a dining room -- these are the jobs we do every week.
GFCI and AFCI outlets matter beyond just meeting code. They protect against the kind of faults that cause shocks and fires, and older homes in Tulsa County often have neither. We install, test, and confirm that every outlet and switch we touch is working correctly before we pack up. We'll find the fault and fix it right.
Recessed lighting is one of the most popular interior upgrades we install. It involves running circuits to the right locations, placing fixtures to avoid shadows and hot spots, and making sure the dimmer switch is compatible with the LED fixtures you choose. Done right, it changes how a room feels. Done wrong, you get flickering, buzzing, and a callback.
We also install under-cabinet lighting in kitchens, a practical upgrade that makes the workspace more usable and adds a clean look. Ceiling fan installation is another regular request. A properly wired fan on a dedicated switch or remote control is both a comfort improvement and a way to take some load off the rest of the system. One call, and an electrician is on the way.
The exterior of a home or commercial property needs electrical work that holds up to weather. We install porch and entry lighting, motion sensor lights for driveways and side yards, landscape accent lighting, and security lighting for outbuildings, parking areas, and commercial properties.
Weatherproof fixtures and proper exterior wiring are not optional -- they are what keep the installation working a year from now instead of failing at the first hard rain. We use correctly rated materials for every outdoor circuit, and grounding and bonding are always part of the job. We'll find the fault and fix it right.
Electric vehicle ownership in the Owasso area has grown steadily, and Level 2 home charger installation is now one of the most requested services we handle. A Level 2 charger requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit with the correct amperage for the charger unit and the vehicle it will serve.
Before we run the circuit, we check panel capacity. If the existing service cannot carry the added load without upgrades, we tell you that upfront and explain the options. There are no surprises after the work starts. The circuit is installed safely, the charger is tested, and you leave the driveway each morning with a full charge. We'll take care of the circuits from here.
Oklahoma weather makes both of these services practical, not optional. Severe storms roll through Tulsa County with enough regularity that a backup generator hookup is a reasonable investment for homeowners who cannot afford extended outages. We handle the electrical side: the transfer switch, the inlet, and the wiring that connects your generator to the circuits that matter most.
Whole-home surge protection is a separate layer of defense that sits at the panel and catches voltage spikes before they reach your electronics, appliances, and HVAC equipment. Same-day electrical service available means we can get to generator and surge work quickly when a storm season is approaching or after a damaging event. Grounding and bonding are part of every generator installation we do.
Don't let a small wiring issue turn into a fire risk, especially in an older home where the original wiring has never been updated. Whole-home rewiring is a significant project, but it is often the right answer for houses in Owasso and across Tulsa County that were built with aluminum wiring, knob-and-tube systems, or undersized circuits that have been patched and extended over the decades.
An electrical safety inspection is where this work usually starts. We go through the panel, check the wiring condition, test outlets and grounding, and give you a clear picture of what is up to current code and what is not. If you are buying a home, adding circuits, or just not sure what you have in the walls, an inspection gives you real information to work with. Aluminum-wiring remediation and knob-and-tube replacement are both services we handle regularly. We'll trace it, fix it, and test it before we leave.
The sooner you call, the sooner the power is back on, and that matters as much to a property manager with a tenant in the dark as it does to a homeowner. We work with commercial and light-commercial clients across Owasso and Tulsa County: office tenants, retail operators, restaurant owners, landlords, and general contractors who need a reliable electrical sub on a renovation or build-out.
Commercial work we handle regularly includes panel upgrades, dedicated circuits for commercial kitchen equipment, lighting retrofits, new construction wiring, and full renovation electrical. We understand that downtime costs money and that scheduling matters. Residential wiring. Commercial wiring. One number for both.
A family-run electrical business means the people making decisions about your job are the same people who care whether you call back the next time you need an electrician.
Electrical pricing varies by job, and anyone who gives you a firm number before seeing the work is guessing. What we commit to is this: when we assess a job, we explain what we found, what the work involves, and what it will cost before anything starts. If something changes once we are into the work, we tell you before we proceed.
The goal is not to be the cheapest option in the area. The goal is to price the work fairly, do it correctly, and have you feel good about the call you made. No surprise fees, no vague estimates that balloon after the fact. Call (539) 282-9878 and we will walk you through what a quote looks like for your specific situation.
Every job we complete is done to current electrical code. That is not a marketing phrase -- it is the baseline for work performed by licensed electricians who stand behind what they do. Code compliance protects you when you sell the home, when an inspector looks at the panel, and when the wiring has to perform under real load.
We do not cut corners on materials, skip grounding steps, or leave a job in a condition we would not be comfortable with ourselves. If something is not right, we make it right. That is the standard we hold ourselves to on every service call, installation, and panel upgrade we complete.
The business started in Owasso in 1995, built on straightforward work and word-of-mouth from neighbors who needed a reliable electrician they could call back. Over three decades, that foundation has grown into a full-service electrical operation that handles everything from a single outlet repair to a complete rewiring of a commercial property.
We serve homeowners, landlords, property managers, small businesses, and contractors throughout Owasso and the surrounding communities, including Collinsville, Claremore, Broken Arrow, Catoosa, Skiatook, Jenks, Bixby, and Sand Springs. Work performed by licensed electricians on every job, every time. Trusted by homeowners. Relied on by property managers. Ready for your panel.
We have been serving Owasso and Tulsa County since 1995, which puts us at 31 years in business. The company was built on word-of-mouth from neighbors who needed a reliable electrician they could call back, and that foundation has not changed.
Yes. We work in older homes throughout the area regularly and know what to look for: aluminum branch wiring, knob-and-tube systems, undersized panels, and grounding that was never properly completed. That local knowledge makes a real difference in how quickly we diagnose a problem and how thoroughly we fix it.
Work is performed by licensed electricians who know local code and take every job seriously. You are not getting a subcontractor we have never worked with before. The people we send are the people we trust to work in our own homes.
We offer same-day electrical service for most calls, and we are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for urgent situations. When you call, we give you a realistic arrival window and we stick to it.
Yes. We treat your home and its wiring the way we would our own, and that extends to how we handle the space while we are working. We clean up after ourselves and take care not to damage walls, floors, or finishes in the course of the job.
Where permits are required by local code, we handle that process. Work performed by licensed electricians is done to current code standards, and we do not skip the steps that protect you when the work is inspected or when you sell the home.

| Electrical Service | Scope of Work | Ideal For | What to Keep in Mind |
|---|---|---|---|
| Whole-Home Surge Protection | panel-mounted surge device installation, grounding and bonding verification, protection for all circuits at once, lightning and grid-spike defense | any home with sensitive electronics, appliances, or HVAC equipment worth protecting | Oklahoma's active lightning season makes panel-level surge protection one of the most cost-effective upgrades a homeowner can add. |
| EV Charger Installation | Level 2 charger wiring, dedicated 240-volt circuit, NEMA 14-50 outlet installation, panel capacity check and load calculation | EV owners who want a full overnight charge instead of a slow trickle from a standard outlet | Before we run the circuit, we check your panel capacity so the new load does not push an aging system past its limits. |
| Outlet & Switch Installation | standard and GFCI outlets, AFCI and USB outlets, dimmer and smart switches, weatherproof outdoor outlets | homeowners adding outlets, upgrading for code compliance, or replacing worn fixtures | GFCI protection is required by code in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas. We install or replace it wherever it is missing. |
| Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting | dead outlets and switches, flickering or dimming lights, tripping breakers, GFCI and AFCI faults | any homeowner or business owner with an unexplained electrical symptom | Most problems give warning signs before they get serious. The sooner a fault is diagnosed, the less damage it causes. |
| Backup Generator Installation | generator hookup and wiring, transfer switch installation, dedicated generator circuit, safe grid-isolation setup | Owasso homeowners who want reliable power during Oklahoma storm season outages | A properly wired transfer switch prevents back-feeding the grid, which protects utility workers and keeps your home running safely during an outage. |
| Ceiling Fan Installation | fan and light kit mounting, new ceiling box installation, dedicated wall switch wiring, circuit run where none exists | rooms without existing overhead wiring or homeowners replacing an old fan | If there is no existing ceiling wiring, we run the circuit so the fan has a proper dedicated feed and a matching wall switch. |
| Wiring for Additions & Remodels | new room and addition wiring, kitchen and bathroom circuit upgrades, permit-ready rough-in wiring, code-compliant finish wiring | homeowners remodeling or adding square footage who need electrical work done alongside the build | Remodel wiring is inspected work. We coordinate with your contractor and handle the rough-in and finish stages on schedule. |
| Lighting Installation | recessed and pendant lighting, under-cabinet and landscape lighting, security and motion sensor fixtures, chandelier and fixture replacement | homeowners upgrading interior lighting or adding outdoor safety and curb appeal | Outdoor lighting wiring must be weatherproofed and run on the correct circuit. We handle both the wiring and the fixture. |
| Dedicated Appliance Circuits | dryer and range circuits, refrigerator and microwave circuits, 240/220-volt outlet installation, workshop and garage circuits | homeowners adding large appliances or setting up a home workshop | Running a large appliance on a shared circuit can cause nuisance tripping and shorten equipment life. A dedicated circuit protects both. |
| Wiring & Circuit Installation | new circuit runs, partial and full rewiring, aluminum and knob-and-tube replacement, grounding and bonding upgrades | older homes with outdated wiring or any property adding new circuits | Older homes in Tulsa County sometimes still carry knob-and-tube or aluminum branch wiring. We replace both and bring circuits up to current code. |
| Breaker & Fuse Repair | breaker replacement, fuse panel service, breaker that trips repeatedly, arc-fault and ground-fault breaker upgrades | homes with aging panels or breakers that will not hold a reset | A breaker that trips repeatedly is telling you something. We find the cause before replacing hardware so the fix actually holds. |
| Electrical Panel & Service UpgradesMost Popular | 200-amp panel upgrades, subpanel installation, load calculations, service entrance and meter work | homes with 100-amp or older panels, or any property adding EV chargers, major appliances, or home additions | Panel upgrades are permitted and inspected work in Oklahoma. We handle the full process, from load calculations through the final inspection. |
| Basement & Sump-Pump Circuits | sump pump dedicated circuit, basement outlet and lighting installation, GFCI protection in wet areas, finished basement wiring | homeowners finishing a basement or adding a sump pump on a dedicated circuit | A sump pump on a shared circuit can lose power when it is needed most. A dedicated circuit with GFCI protection is the right setup. |
| Electrical Safety Inspections | panel and branch circuit review, GFCI and AFCI protection check, pre-purchase home inspections, rental property inspections | homebuyers, landlords, and owners of older homes who want a clear picture of the system | An inspection before a home purchase can surface wiring issues that affect the offer price and the safety of anyone living there. |
| Older-Home Rewiring | knob-and-tube removal and replacement, aluminum branch circuit replacement, grounding upgrades, panel and service modernization | owners of pre-1970s homes in Owasso and Tulsa County with original or outdated wiring | Older wiring is not always unsafe on day one, but it does not meet current code and can become a hazard as insulation ages. We assess what is there and explain the options clearly. |
How do I know if my panel needs an upgrade?
A few signs point toward a panel that has reached its limits. Breakers that trip under normal loads, a panel that feels warm to the touch, circuits that cannot support added appliances, or a panel rated at 100 amps or less in a home with modern electrical demand are all reasons to have us take a look. We run load calculations so you know exactly where the system stands before any work begins.
Why does my breaker keep tripping?
A breaker that trips repeatedly is responding to something, either a circuit that is consistently overloaded, a wiring fault somewhere along the run, or a breaker that has worn out and no longer holds its rating. We trace the cause first. Replacing a breaker without finding out why it is tripping just delays the real fix.
Is electrical work in Owasso permitted and inspected?
Panel upgrades, service work, new circuits, and rewiring are all permitted work in Oklahoma. We handle the permit process and make sure the job is ready for inspection before we close walls. Code-compliant work protects your home, your insurance coverage, and the next buyer if you ever sell.
Same-Day and Emergency Availability
We offer same-day service for most calls and are available around the clock for urgent electrical situations. When something cannot wait, we make sure it does not have to.
Is older wiring in my home a safety risk?
It depends on the type and condition. Knob-and-tube wiring and aluminum branch circuits do not meet current code and carry real risks as they age, especially if insulation has deteriorated or the circuits have been modified over the years. We assess what is in the home, explain what we find, and lay out the options without pressure.
What does a whole-home EV charger installation involve?
A Level 2 home charger requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit run from your panel to the garage or charging location. Before we run the wire, we check your panel capacity and perform a load calculation to confirm the system can carry the new circuit. If the panel needs an upgrade first, we handle that as part of the same project.
Do I need to be home while the electrical work is done?
For most jobs, yes. We need access to the panel, the work areas, and sometimes attic or crawl space access. Being present also lets you walk us through anything you have noticed, which helps us trace faults faster. We will let you know at scheduling if your specific job has any different requirements.
Code-Compliant Work on Every Job
Every job we take on is wired to current code, permitted where required, and ready for inspection. That standard applies whether it is a single outlet or a full service upgrade.
How does pricing and estimating work?
Call us and describe what you are dealing with. We give you a clear estimate based on what you describe, and we confirm the actual scope and cost when we assess the job in person. If something changes once we are into the work, we tell you before we proceed. There are no surprises on the invoice.
Are you available for same-day or emergency electrical calls?
Yes. We offer same-day electrical service for most calls, and we operate around the clock for urgent situations. A sparking outlet, a panel that is buzzing or hot, or a circuit that has gone dead at an inconvenient hour should not wait. Call us and we will tell you when we can be there.
Experienced With Older and Newer Homes
We work on homes of every age across Owasso and Tulsa County, from new construction to houses that still have their original wiring. We know what to look for and how to bring older systems up to where they need to be.
What does flickering or dimming light mean?
Occasional flickering when a large appliance kicks on can be normal, but persistent flickering, dimming across multiple rooms, or lights that dim when nothing has changed on the circuit are signs of a loose connection, a failing breaker, or a wiring fault. These symptoms are worth having checked before they develop into something more serious.
Should I be concerned about a warm or buzzing outlet?
Yes. An outlet that is warm to the touch or makes a buzzing sound is telling you there is a problem at the connection or in the wiring behind it. Stop using it and call us. These are not cosmetic issues, and they do not resolve on their own.
How long does a panel upgrade take?
Most panel upgrades are completed in a single day. The exact time depends on the scope of the work, whether a service entrance upgrade is involved, and how the existing wiring is laid out. We give you a realistic time estimate when we assess the job, and we coordinate the utility disconnect and inspection schedule so there are no unexpected delays.
