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) 324-6121 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.

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 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.

Yes — switch and outlet installation is one of the most common jobs we handle. Whether you need a single new outlet added in a garage or home office, USB outlets installed throughout the home, or a full room wired with new receptacles, we do it all to code. We also install GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor areas as required by current NEC standards in Tulsa.

Absolutely. A dead outlet is often caused by a tripped GFCI elsewhere in the circuit, a loose wire connection, or a failed receptacle — all of which we diagnose and fix quickly. A switch that’s stopped working, feels hot, or sparks when used should be repaired promptly as it can indicate a wiring issue.

Yes — ceiling fan installation is a service we offer throughout Tulsa and the surrounding area. If you already have a light fixture, the swap is straightforward. If there’s no existing wiring in the ceiling, we run a new circuit and install a fan-rated electrical box. We can also add a dedicated wall switch or dimmer. Fan installation typically takes 1–2 hours per fan.

A circuit breaker panel uses breakers that trip and can be reset — the standard in homes built after the 1960s. A fusebox uses fuses that physically blow and must be replaced. If your home still has a fusebox, it’s likely outdated and undersized. Most insurance companies consider fuseboxes a liability. We replace fuseboxes with modern circuit breaker panels and can upgrade your service capacity at the same time.

We install Generac standby generators — the #1 selling home standby brand in the U.S. They’re reliable, backed by a 5-year warranty, and include the Mobile Link app for remote monitoring. 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 during your free estimate.

A standby generator is connected to your home via an automatic transfer switch (ATS). The ATS monitors 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 returns, the ATS switches back automatically and the generator shuts off. You don’t have to do anything.

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

In the Tulsa area, a complete Generac standby generator installation typically ranges from $5,000 to $12,000+ depending on 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.

A Level 2 charger operates on 240 volts and can fully charge most electric vehicles in 4–8 hours overnight. The standard outlet that comes with most EVs is Level 1 — 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. We install dedicated 40–50 amp circuits 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. We can provide an itemized invoice that makes 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 available headroom. 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: a burning or fishy smell from an outlet, switch, or 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. Do not wait — call (918) 324-6121 for 24/7 emergency service.

A breaker that trips occasionally when you overload a circuit 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. Partial rewires (specific circuits or rooms) are less expensive. We provide free, detailed estimates so you know exactly what’s involved before committing.

A single outlet or switch replacement typically runs $75–$200 depending on the type and whether new wiring is needed. Adding a brand-new outlet where no wiring exists costs more — usually $150–$400 per outlet depending on how far the run is from the panel and how accessible the walls are.

Ceiling fan installation in the Tulsa area typically runs $100–$250 per fan when replacing an existing light fixture. If there’s no existing wiring in the ceiling, expect $250–$500+ to run a new circuit and install a fan-rated box.

A typical Level 2 home EV charger installation in Tulsa runs between $400 and $1,200 for labor and materials, not including the charger unit itself ($300–$800). 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.
