Coulson Electric has been handling residential and commercial electrical work in Owasso and across Tulsa County since 1995. Whether you need a quick outlet repair or a full service upgrade, we show up ready to work and get it done right. Same-day electrical service is available for urgent calls, so you are never left waiting when power is on the line. Residential wiring. Commercial wiring. One number for both.
The electrician who works on your home lives and works right here. When you call, you reach someone who knows Owasso, knows the neighborhoods, and understands the demands this area puts on a home's electrical system.
Don't let a small wiring issue turn into a fire risk, because what starts as a flickering light or a tripping breaker can point to something more serious behind the wall. We diagnose the full range of residential and commercial electrical problems: lights that flicker under load, outlets that go dead without explanation, burning smells from a switch or panel, sparking receptacles, and rooms that lose partial power while the rest of the house stays on.
Our troubleshooting process is methodical. We trace the fault back to its source, whether that is a loose connection, a failing breaker, an arc-fault condition, or a ground-fault that is tripping your GFCI protection. AFCI and GFCI breakers and outlets are part of the modern electrical code for good reason, and we install and test them as part of a proper repair. We'll find the fault and fix it right.
A dead outlet or a switch that sparks when you flip it is not something to ignore. We repair and replace standard outlets, add new outlets to rooms that need them, and install GFCI-protected receptacles in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor locations where code requires them. AFCI-protected outlets and breakers go in where arc-fault protection is called for.
We also install dimmer switches, smart switches, USB combination outlets, and weatherproof outdoor receptacles. All wiring is code-compliant, and we verify the circuit is clean before we leave. We'll take care of the circuits from here.
If you're not sure your panel can handle the load, now is the time to find out before a breaker fails or a circuit overheats. We service, repair, and replace breaker panels of all ages and sizes. A breaker that keeps tripping is often a symptom of an undersized circuit, a failing breaker, or a panel that has reached the end of its useful life. We diagnose the cause and give you a straight answer about what the fix requires.
Many Owasso homes still running on 100-amp service are feeling the strain of modern appliances, home offices, and EV chargers. We handle 200-amp service upgrades from start to finish, including service-entrance work, meter coordination, and load calculations to confirm the new capacity fits your actual demand. Subpanel additions are another option when you need to extend capacity to a garage, workshop, or addition without touching the main panel. We treat your home and its wiring the way we would our own. One call, and an electrician is on the way.
Before a small wiring issue turns into a hazard, it helps to know what you are actually working with inside your walls. Older Owasso homes may still have knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum branch circuits, or systems that were never properly grounded and bonded. These are not just code violations. They are real safety risks that affect your insurance coverage and your family's safety.
We perform whole-home rewiring and targeted partial rewires for additions, remodels, and specific hazard areas. Knob-and-tube replacement, aluminum-wiring remediation, and grounding upgrades are all work we handle regularly. If your home has code violations, we identify them and walk you through the correction process clearly.
Large appliances need their own circuits. A dryer, electric range, refrigerator, or washer should never share a circuit with other loads. We install 240-volt outlets and dedicated circuits for electric ranges, dryers, refrigerators, and other high-draw equipment. We also wire dedicated circuits for hot tubs and spas, handling the electrical supply and disconnect side of those installations. For any heating or cooling equipment that needs a new circuit or added panel capacity, we handle the electrical feed and panel work so the unit has clean, properly sized power. We'll trace it, fix it, and test it before we leave.
Whether it's a single outlet or a full panel upgrade, we bring the same attention to detail to every job, including lighting and ceiling fan work. We install and replace ceiling fans, including running new wiring and switch legs where no existing fan box is present. Recessed lighting and LED retrofits are among the most common requests we get, and we handle both new installations and conversions from older fixtures.
Under-cabinet lighting in kitchens, outdoor security lighting, and landscape lighting circuits are all part of what we do. A family-run electrical business takes pride in the finished product, and that shows in how we handle the details on a lighting job. We'll find the fault and fix it right.
Electrical work for a remodel or addition has to be planned from the start, not added as an afterthought. We provide rough-in wiring for new construction, finish wiring for remodels, and full electrical buildouts for finished basements, garages, workshops, and sheds. Detached garage wiring, sump-pump circuits for basements, and dedicated workshop circuits are jobs we handle throughout the Owasso area.
We also wire for smart home systems, install hardwired smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, and handle bathroom exhaust fan wiring. All work is done to current code, with proper grounding and bonding throughout. We'll take care of the circuits from here.
Trusted by homeowners. Relied on by property managers. Ready for your panel.
We work with businesses, landlords, and property managers across Tulsa County. Commercial electrical repairs, panel replacements, and service upgrades for offices, retail spaces, and restaurants are all within our scope. If you manage a multi-unit building or rental property in the Owasso area, we can serve as your go-to electrician for turnovers, code corrections, and ongoing repair needs.
Restaurant electrical work has its own demands, from dedicated circuits for commercial kitchen equipment to exhaust hood wiring and panel capacity for high-draw appliances. Office and retail fit-outs require careful circuit planning to support workstations, lighting, and point-of-sale systems. Whatever the commercial application, work is performed by licensed electricians who understand code requirements for commercial occupancies. One call, and an electrician is on the way.
Oklahoma's weather puts real demands on residential electrical systems. The following services come up often in this area for good reason, and we handle all three.
Summer cooling loads in northeast Oklahoma push older panels hard, and storm season adds its own stress in the form of surges, outages, and recovery loads. A panel that was adequate for a 1970s or 1980s home is often not sized for today's air conditioning demand, EV chargers, and modern appliances running simultaneously. Signs that a panel is overdue include breakers that trip repeatedly, a panel that runs warm to the touch, and circuits that simply cannot support what you need them to do. We perform load calculations, coordinate the service-entrance and meter work, and complete the upgrade to a properly sized modern panel.
Tornado season and severe thunderstorms are a fact of life in Tulsa County. When a storm knocks out power for hours or days, a properly installed generator hookup makes a real difference. We handle the electrical side of generator installations: transfer switch installation, connecting a standby or portable generator to your home's panel, and making sure the hookup is safe and code-compliant. A transfer switch is the critical piece that prevents backfeed onto the utility line and keeps your household circuits protected during an outage. We'll find the fault and fix it right.
Oklahoma sees frequent lightning activity, and a single nearby strike can send a voltage spike through your home's wiring that damages electronics, appliances, and HVAC equipment. Panel-level surge protection installs at the main breaker panel and intercepts surges before they reach your devices. It works alongside proper grounding and bonding to give your home a meaningful layer of protection. Given the frequency of electrical storms in this region, it is one of the higher-value upgrades we install.
The sooner you call, the sooner the power is back on, and the sooner you have a clear picture of what your electrical system actually looks like. A home electrical inspection covers the panel condition, wiring type and age, grounding and bonding, GFCI and AFCI protection, and any visible code violations. We document what we find and explain your options without pressure.
Common reasons to schedule an inspection include buying an older home in the Owasso area, dealing with storm damage, or simply not knowing when the wiring was last looked at. Arc-fault and ground-fault protection requirements have changed significantly over the past two decades, and many older homes are not up to current standards. We'll trace it, fix it, and test it before we leave.
A Level 2 home EV charger requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit, a proper breaker sized for the charger's amperage, and enough available capacity at the panel to support the added load. Before we run the circuit, we perform a load calculation to confirm your panel can handle it, and we recommend a panel upgrade if the numbers are tight. We handle the full installation from panel to charger location, including any conduit runs and weatherproofing needed for garage or exterior mounting. We'll take care of the circuits from here.
Electrical pricing depends on the scope of the job: the type of repair or installation, the condition of existing wiring, and how much access is involved. We give you a clear estimate before work begins so there are no surprises on the invoice. Call for a quote and we will walk through what the job involves and what it will cost.
Same-day electrical service is available for urgent situations. If you have a sparking outlet, a panel that is behaving strangely, or a circuit that has gone dead, do not wait. We also schedule routine work on evenings and weekends when that works better for your household or business. We'll find the fault and fix it right.
We serve Owasso as our home base and work throughout the surrounding communities in Tulsa County and northeast Oklahoma. That includes Collinsville, Skiatook, Catoosa, Sperry, Broken Arrow, and Claremore. If you are nearby and need an electrician, there is a good chance we have worked in your neighborhood.
Being local means we can respond quickly and we stand behind every job we complete. When something needs a follow-up, you reach a real person who knows your address and your project.
A burning smell near an outlet or panel is a warning sign that should not be ignored. It can indicate a loose connection, an overloaded circuit, or an arc-fault condition inside the wall or panel. Stop using the outlet or circuit, and call us right away so we can trace the fault before it becomes a fire risk.
It depends on your current panel capacity and what is already running on it. Before we install a Level 2 EV charger circuit, we perform a load calculation to confirm the panel can carry the added demand. If the numbers are tight, we explain your options, which may include a panel upgrade before we run the charger circuit.
We test every circuit, outlet, switch, or fixture we worked on before we pack up. That includes confirming proper voltage, checking that GFCI and AFCI protection is functioning correctly where it was installed or replaced, and verifying that the repair or installation holds under load. We do not consider the job done until the work is confirmed.
A whole-home surge protection device installs at the main panel and intercepts voltage spikes before they reach your circuits and connected devices. Oklahoma sees frequent lightning activity and storm-related grid fluctuations, both of which can damage appliances, electronics, and HVAC equipment in an instant. Combined with solid grounding and bonding, it is one of the higher-value upgrades we install in this area.
Discoloration or scorch marks around the outlet face, a warm or hot outlet cover, a receptacle that no longer holds a plug snugly, or one that sparks when you plug something in are all signs the outlet itself needs to be replaced. A tripped GFCI outlet that will not reset may also indicate a wiring fault behind the device rather than a simple trip. Call us and we will assess it.
A targeted repair is the right call when the fault is isolated and the surrounding wiring is in good shape. When we find deteriorated insulation, improper connections, or code violations nearby, we tell you, because patching over a deeper problem only delays the real fix. We give you an honest assessment of what we found and what the right solution is.
We identify what is out of compliance, explain what the correction involves, and complete the work to current code. Common corrections in this area include adding GFCI and AFCI protection where it was not originally installed, addressing aluminum branch wiring, and bringing grounding and bonding up to standard. We walk you through what is required and what is optional before any work starts.
Yes. Large appliances like electric ranges, dryers, and refrigerators need their own dedicated circuits, and we install them regularly. We also wire dedicated circuits for workshops, detached garages, and high-draw equipment. Before we run a new circuit, we confirm the panel has the capacity to support it cleanly.
We explain the scope clearly before any work begins. If a panel is beyond repair or the wiring presents a safety risk that a targeted fix cannot address, we walk you through the replacement process, the timeline, and the cost. Work performed by licensed electricians means the replacement is done to code and inspected properly.
Outdoor wiring requires weatherproof materials, correctly rated conduit and fittings, and proper sealing at every entry point. We use exterior-rated fixtures, weatherproof outlet covers, and materials specified for outdoor exposure on every exterior job. Grounding and bonding are always part of an outdoor installation.
Coulson Electric has served Owasso and Tulsa County since 1995. We are ready to help with repairs, upgrades, new installations, and everything in between. Simple booking. Clear pricing. Safe, solid wiring.

| 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.
