Most electrical work in Tulsa requires a permit — including panel upgrades, rewiring, generator installations, and EV charger installs. Minor repairs like replacing an outlet or switch typically do not. Puma Electric handles all permit applications and inspections on your behalf, so you never have to deal with the paperwork.

For standard jobs, we can typically schedule within a few days. For electrical emergencies — burning smells, sparks, complete power loss — we offer 24/7 response and prioritize getting to you as fast as possible. Call (918) 500-4055 for same-day emergency service.

Key warning signs include: lights that flicker or dim when appliances turn on, circuit breakers that trip frequently, outlets or switch plates that feel warm to the touch, a burning or fishy smell near outlets, two-prong ungrounded outlets throughout the home, or a home built before 1980 that hasn’t been updated. Any of these are worth having a licensed electrician inspect immediately.

Yes — aluminum branch circuit wiring is a known fire hazard and is flagged by most home inspectors and insurance companies. Homes built between 1965 and 1973 commonly have it. Aluminum wiring expands and contracts more than copper, causing connections to loosen over time and create heat at outlets and switches. We recommend having it inspected and addressed with either a full rewire or approved aluminum-to-copper connectors (CO/ALR devices).

Knob-and-tube is an old wiring method used in homes built before the 1950s. It has no ground wire, the insulation degrades over time, and it cannot safely handle modern electrical loads. Most homeowners insurance companies will not cover a home with active knob-and-tube wiring, or they will charge significantly higher premiums. If your home has it, a full rewire is typically the recommended solution.

A panel upgrade involves replacing your existing electrical panel (breaker box) with a larger one — typically going from 100 amps to 200 amps. This is often necessary when adding an EV charger, a generator, a home addition, or major appliances. The process includes pulling a permit, coordinating a brief utility disconnect with PSO, installing the new panel, and passing a final inspection. Most upgrades are completed in one day.

We install Generac standby generators, which are the #1 selling home standby brand in the U.S. for good reason — they’re reliable, backed by a 5-year warranty, and include the Mobile Link app so you can monitor your generator remotely. For most Tulsa-area homes, the Generac Guardian 22kW is the most popular choice as it covers an entire home including HVAC. We’ll help you size the right unit based on your home’s square footage and load during your free estimate.

A standby generator is connected to your home’s electrical system via an automatic transfer switch (ATS). The ATS monitors your utility power 24/7. When it detects an outage, it signals the generator to start and transfers your home’s load to generator power — all within approximately 10 seconds. When utility power is restored, the ATS switches back automatically and the generator shuts itself off. You don’t have to do anything.

If your home already has a natural gas line, that’s usually the better option — it offers unlimited runtime since you don’t need to refill a tank, and it’s typically cheaper per BTU. Propane is a great alternative for homes without natural gas service and can be stored on-site in a tank. Both work reliably with Generac generators. We’ll recommend the right fuel source based on what’s already available at your property.

In the Tulsa area, a complete Generac standby generator installation typically ranges from $5,000 to $12,000+ depending on the generator size, fuel source, whether a panel upgrade is needed, and site conditions. The 22kW Guardian installed with a transfer switch and gas connection lands most homeowners in the $7,000–$9,000 range. We provide free, itemized estimates with no obligation so you know exactly what you’re getting.

A Level 2 charger operates on 240 volts (the same as a dryer outlet) and can fully charge most electric vehicles in 4–8 hours overnight. The standard outlet that comes with most EVs is a Level 1 charger — it runs on 120 volts and takes 24–40+ hours for a full charge. For most EV owners, a Level 2 home charger is well worth the investment for the convenience alone. We install dedicated 40–50 amp circuits and chargers compatible with Tesla, Ford, GM, Rivian, and all major brands.

The federal Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit (Form 8911) has historically offered a credit of up to 30% of EV charger installation costs for homeowners. Tax credits can change, so we recommend confirming current eligibility with your tax advisor before installation. We can provide an itemized invoice that clearly separates equipment and labor costs to make the credit claim straightforward.

Many homes can add an EV charger without a panel upgrade, but it depends on your panel’s current capacity and how much headroom is available. A 200-amp panel with available breaker slots can usually handle a Level 2 charger circuit. Older 100-amp panels or panels that are already heavily loaded may need an upgrade first. We assess your panel as part of the free estimate and give you an honest answer before any work begins.

Call immediately if you notice any of the following: a burning or fishy smell from an outlet, switch, or your panel; sparks or smoke from any electrical source; outlets or switches that are hot to the touch; your entire home losing power when neighbors still have power; or buzzing, crackling, or popping sounds from your walls or panel. These are all signs of a potentially dangerous condition. Do not wait — call (918) 500-4055 for 24/7 emergency service.

A breaker that trips occasionally when you overload a circuit (running a hair dryer and microwave at the same time, for example) is doing its job. But a breaker that trips repeatedly on normal loads, won’t reset, or trips immediately after resetting is a warning sign — it could indicate a failing breaker, overloaded circuit, or a wiring fault. That’s worth having inspected promptly, even if it doesn’t feel like an emergency yet.

Full home rewiring in the Tulsa area typically ranges from $8,000 to $20,000+ depending on the home’s size, age, accessibility, and whether a panel upgrade is included. A 1,500 sq ft home will cost considerably less than a 3,000 sq ft two-story with finished walls. Partial rewires (specific circuits or rooms) are less expensive. We provide free, detailed estimates so you know exactly what’s involved before committing.

In Tulsa, a typical Level 2 home EV charger installation runs between $400 and $1,200 for labor and materials, not including the charger unit itself (which ranges from $300–$800 depending on brand and features). If a panel upgrade is needed, that adds to the cost. The good news: home charging costs roughly $2–$3 per full charge versus $15–$30 at a public fast-charger, so most homeowners recoup the cost within a year or two.

Yes — we offer free estimates on all major electrical projects including rewiring, panel upgrades, generator installations, EV charger installs, and new construction. We come to your home, assess the job, and give you a written quote with no obligation. For simple repairs, we can often give you a ballpark over the phone before scheduling a visit.
