Coulson Electric has been the go-to electrician for Owasso homeowners and businesses since 1995. Whether you need a same-day repair or a full electrical installation, we show up ready to work. Residential wiring. Commercial wiring. One number for both. All work is performed by licensed electricians who know local code and take every job seriously. We serve Owasso and the wider Tulsa County area, from new construction to older homes that need a closer look.
Don't let a small wiring issue turn into a fire risk, because most electrical problems give you warning signs before they get serious. Dead outlets, flickering lights, tripping breakers, and switches that stopped responding are all telling you something is wrong with the circuit. We diagnose the source, not just the symptom.
Our troubleshooting covers the full range of common residential problems. We test circuits, check connections, and inspect breakers for wear or faults. Where GFCI or AFCI protection is missing or has failed, we install or replace it. Arc-fault and ground-fault breakers are standard practice on our jobs, not an add-on. We treat your home and its wiring the way we would our own. We'll trace it, fix it, and test it before we leave.
Whether it's a single outlet or a full panel upgrade, we handle the everyday installation work that keeps a home functional and safe. Standard outlets, GFCI outlets for kitchens and bathrooms, AFCI outlets, USB outlets, and outdoor-rated weatherproof outlets are all in a day's work. We also install and replace switches, dimmer switches, and smart switch wiring throughout the house.
Lighting is one of the most visible upgrades you can make. We install recessed lighting, pendant lights, chandeliers, under-cabinet lighting, and light fixtures of all kinds. Outdoors, we wire landscape lighting, security lights, and motion sensor fixtures that add both safety and curb appeal. Ceiling fan installation is another frequent call. If there is no existing wiring in the ceiling, we run the circuit so the fan has a proper dedicated feed and a wall switch to match. We'll find the fault and fix it right.
If you're not sure your panel can handle the load, that question is worth answering before something fails. We repair and replace breakers, upgrade panels to 200-amp service, install subpanels, and handle full electrical service upgrades from the meter to the main panel. Load calculations are part of the process so you know exactly what your home can carry before we close the walls.
Older homes in Tulsa County sometimes still have knob-and-tube wiring or aluminum branch wiring. We replace both, bringing the circuits up to current code. Dedicated circuits for dryers, ranges, refrigerators, microwaves, and other large appliances are straightforward jobs that protect your equipment and your panel. We also install 240/220-volt outlets and handle grounding and bonding work where the existing system falls short. A family-run electrical business, we take code-compliant wiring personally on every job. We'll take care of the circuits from here.
Oklahoma's four-season climate puts real demand on a home's electrical system. Heating and cooling loads push panels hard, and the area's severe thunderstorm season, along with the occasional tornado or ice storm, makes backup power and surge protection more than a nice-to-have. These three services come up often in Owasso and across Tulsa County, and for good reason.
Older homes in the area were built when 100-amp service was standard. Today's loads, including EV chargers, large kitchen appliances, home offices, and central air, can exceed what an aging panel was designed to handle. A 200-amp panel upgrade gives you the capacity to run your home the way you actually live in it. We handle load calculations, service-entrance work, and code-compliant wiring from start to finish so the upgrade is done right and inspected properly.
Storm season in Oklahoma is real, and grid outages from severe weather can last longer than anyone wants. A standby generator gives you power when the lines go down. We handle the electrical side of the installation: generator hookup, transfer switch installation, and the dedicated circuit that feeds the system. When the power goes out, a properly wired transfer switch keeps your generator from back-feeding the grid and keeps your home running safely.
A power strip handles a small surge at one outlet. A whole-home surge protection device, installed directly at the panel, guards every circuit in the house at once. Oklahoma's lightning activity and the voltage spikes that follow storm-related grid fluctuations can damage appliances, electronics, and HVAC equipment in an instant. One device at the panel, combined with solid grounding and bonding, is the most cost-effective protection you can add to a home.
Home EV charging is one of the fastest-growing electrical requests we get. A Level 2 charger gives you a full charge overnight instead of a trickle from a standard outlet. We install the dedicated circuit, run the wiring, and mount the home charging station wherever it works best in your garage or driveway. Tesla charger installation, hardwired EV charger setups, and NEMA 14-50 outlet installations are all jobs we handle regularly. Before we start, we check your panel capacity and run load calculations to confirm the system can carry the new circuit without issue. One call, and an electrician is on the way.
Before a small wiring issue turns into a hazard, an electrical inspection can catch it early. We offer home electrical inspections for homeowners who want peace of mind, as well as pre-purchase inspections for buyers who want to know what they are getting into before closing. Rental properties and older homes benefit from a thorough look at the panel, the branch circuits, grounding, and GFCI and AFCI protection throughout. Same-day electrical service available means you do not have to wait weeks to get an answer. We'll find the fault and fix it right.
Trusted by homeowners. Relied on by property managers. Ready for your panel. Whether it's a single outlet or a full panel upgrade, commercial electrical work follows the same standard we bring to every residential job: code-compliant wiring, clean installation, and a finished product that holds up to inspection.
We work with small business owners, office and retail tenants, restaurant operators, warehouse managers, and landlords who need reliable electrical service across multiple units. Commercial panel upgrades, commercial lighting installation, wiring for tenant improvements, and ongoing repair work for property managers are all part of what we do. If you manage an apartment building or a strip of commercial spaces in the Owasso area, we are the electrical contractor worth keeping in your contacts. We'll take care of the circuits from here.
Beyond the core services, we handle a wide range of residential and outdoor electrical jobs. Hard-wired smoke detector installation and carbon monoxide detector wiring are straightforward safety upgrades that every home should have. Bathroom exhaust fan wiring, hot tub and spa electrical hookups, and pool electrical wiring are jobs that require careful attention to code, and we bring that attention to every one. Outdoor electrical work and exterior repair, from weatherproof outlet installation to landscape circuit troubleshooting, round out what we can do for your property.
We are based in Owasso and work throughout Tulsa County every day. The electrician who works on your home lives and works right here. When you call, you reach someone who knows the neighborhoods, the housing stock, and the kind of electrical issues that come up in this part of Oklahoma.
Beyond Owasso, we regularly serve Collinsville, Claremore, Catoosa, Broken Arrow, Skiatook, Jenks, Bixby, and Sand Springs. If you are in the area and need an electrician, give us a call and we will let you know when we can be there.
Getting a quote should not be complicated. Call us, describe what you are dealing with, and we will give you a straight answer on what the job involves and what it costs. We do not believe in vague pricing or surprises on the invoice.

Call (539) 282-9878 and describe what you are dealing with. We offer same-day electrical service for most calls, and we will tell you upfront when we can be there. The sooner you call, the sooner we can get someone on the way.
Stop using the outlet or switch immediately and do not reset a breaker that keeps tripping on its own. If the panel itself is hot, buzzing, or you smell burning near it, call us right away. We are available around the clock, and a situation like that should not wait until morning.
Yes. We handle residential and commercial electrical work throughout Owasso and Tulsa County. That includes single-family homes, rental properties, offices, retail spaces, and restaurants. One number covers both.
We are based in Owasso and work regularly in Collinsville, Claremore, Catoosa, Broken Arrow, Skiatook, Jenks, Bixby, Sperry, and Sand Springs. If you are in the surrounding area and are not sure whether we cover your location, call and we will let you know.
We operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you have a sparking outlet, a panel that is behaving strangely, or a circuit that has gone dead at an inconvenient hour, do not wait. Call (539) 282-9878 and we will get someone out to you.
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.
We take down the details of what you are dealing with and give you a time window for the service call. When we arrive, we assess the situation, explain what we found, and walk you through the cost and the work involved before anything starts. You make the call on how to proceed.
Yes, and it is some of the most important work we do. Older homes in Owasso and across Tulsa County sometimes still have knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum branch circuits, or panels that were never sized for today's electrical demand. We identify what is there, explain the risks, and lay out the options clearly.
Absolutely. Walk us through anything you have noticed: outlets that stopped working, breakers that trip repeatedly, lights that flicker, or areas where you have smelled burning. The more context you give us at the start, the faster we can trace the fault to its source.
It helps to have a clear path to the main panel and to the outlets, switches, or fixtures we will be working on. Moving furniture, boxes, or stored items away from those areas before we arrive saves time and lets us get straight to the diagnostic. We will let you know if anything specific needs to be cleared when you schedule.
It depends on the job. A straightforward outlet repair or breaker replacement can be done in under an hour. A panel upgrade or partial rewire takes longer, and we will give you a realistic time estimate when we assess the work. We do not rush a job to fit a schedule, but we also do not drag it out.

| 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. |

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.
