Expert Electrician Moore, OK

Hiring the right team to handle your electrical system is essential for smooth, high-quality service. We highly recommend that our new and future customers take a few moments to read our customer reviews. This is a great practice for hiring any new business, as customers will speak the truth about the services they received in their reviews.

Another great measure to ensure we are right with you is to review our hiring requirements and ask us about our years of service. All of our electricians in Moore have completed the required training and licensing to provide services in Moore. We also want to give you peace of mind by letting you know that our electricians undergo background checks to provide maximum protection.

Our prices will vary depending on the services you are hiring our team for. With an electrician, Moore residents can expect our prices to be affected by the complexity of the project and the parts and materials needed. We do our best to keep costs low and competitive; however, there are factors beyond our control. What we can guarantee is that our prices are transparent, and we will communicate any price increases that may occur during your service. You can count on us for the best possible prices from our electrician. Moore, OK locals can get in touch with our team to find out more about our prices.

Most electrical work in Moore requires a permit issued through the City of Moore's Development Services department. This includes panel upgrades, new circuit installations, adding outlets, and any wiring changes beyond simple device swaps, like replacing a switch or outlet cover. Once the work is complete, a licensed electrician schedules an inspection before the work is covered or the circuit is energized. Skipping this step puts your home's resale value and insurance coverage at risk. When you hire Mr. Electric of Oklahoma City, we pull the required permits and coordinate the inspection so you don't have to.

Moore sits in one of the most tornado-prone areas in the country, and the electrical damage from high winds, lightning strikes, and power surges is a real concern for any home here. A single lightning strike on or near your home can send a surge through your wiring that fries appliances, damages your panel, and even starts fires inside your walls. Whole-home surge protection, installed at the main panel, stops voltage spikes before they reach your devices. If your home sustained storm damage or you've noticed flickering lights, tripped breakers, or burnt odors after a storm, call us before assuming everything is fine.

Most homes built before the 1990s were wired for 100-amp service, which was adequate at the time but falls short for modern electrical loads. Today's homes typically need a 200-amp panel to support EV chargers, central HVAC systems, home offices, and kitchen appliances running simultaneously. If your Moore home still has a 100-amp panel, or if you're seeing frequent breaker trips, that's a sign your panel is undersized for your current demand. An upgrade to a 200-amp service also increases your home's value and brings it in line with current NEC standards.

Moore has a mix of housing stock, including neighborhoods built in the 1960s through 1980s that may still have aluminum branch circuit wiring or older wiring methods that don't meet today's NEC requirements. Aluminum wiring, widely used during the copper shortage of the late 1960s, expands and contracts differently than copper, which can loosen connections over time and pose a fire risk at outlets and switches. If your home was built before 1985, it's worth having a licensed electrician do a safety inspection to check for aluminum wiring, two-prong outlets, missing GFCI protection, and any other code gaps. Catching these issues early is far less expensive than dealing with the aftermath.

Yes. The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires GFCI-protected outlets in all wet or damp locations, including bathrooms, kitchens, garages, outdoor areas, and unfinished basements. If your Moore home was built before these requirements were adopted, your existing outlets in those areas are likely unprotected. You can test a GFCI outlet yourself by pressing the "Test" button. If the outlet doesn't cut power or the "Reset" button doesn't restore it, the outlet needs to be replaced. We replace standard outlets with GFCI-protected ones and can walk through your home to identify every location that needs an upgrade.

Yes, and it's one of the most common electrical upgrades we do for Moore homeowners right now. A Level 2 EV charger runs on a dedicated 240-volt circuit, typically 40 to 50 amps, and requires a licensed electrician to install the circuit, run the wiring from your panel to the garage or driveway, and mount the charging unit. The job usually takes three to five hours, depending on how far the panel is from the charging location and whether your panel has room for the new circuit. If your panel is already near capacity, we'll let you know upfront before any work begins.

Oklahoma requires a licensed electrician for any work involving wiring, panel work, new circuits, or anything connected to your home's main electrical system. The Oklahoma Construction Industries Board (CIB) licenses and regulates electricians in the state, and unlicensed electrical work is not only illegal but also voids most homeowner's insurance policies for any related damage. Simple tasks like changing a light bulb or swapping a faceplate are fine to do yourself. Anything beyond that, including replacing an outlet, installing a ceiling fan with new wiring, or adding a circuit, requires a licensed professional. All Mr. Electric of Oklahoma City technicians hold the proper state licensing to work in Moore and the surrounding area.

The time depends on the scope of work. A straightforward outlet replacement or ceiling fan installation usually takes one to two hours. A panel upgrade runs four to eight hours, depending on the amperage and how much of the existing wiring needs to be updated. For larger projects like whole-home rewiring or new circuit additions, we'll give you a realistic timeline during the estimate so you know what to plan for. Our service vehicles are stocked with common parts and materials, so we don't have to make trips to the supply house in the middle of your job.

A breaker that trips repeatedly is telling you something, and the answer isn't to keep resetting it. The three most common causes are an overloaded circuit, a short circuit in the wiring or a connected device, and a failing breaker. Overloads occur when too many high-draw appliances share a single circuit, which is common in older Moore homes that weren't wired for today's electrical loads. If the breaker trips every time you run a specific appliance, unplug it and call us. If it trips without an obvious cause, that suggests a wiring issue or a failing breaker, both of which require professional diagnosis. Don't ignore a tripping breaker or tape it in the "on" position.

Whole-home surge protection is one of the most cost-effective electrical upgrades available, especially in Moore, where severe storms and lightning are frequent occurrences. A whole-home surge protector installs directly at your main panel and intercepts voltage spikes before they travel through your wiring. Point-of-use power strips only protect the devices plugged into them, and they don't stop a surge from damaging your HVAC system, well pump, or hardwired appliances. A single lightning event can cause thousands of dollars in damage to appliances and electronics. A panel-level surge protector costs a fraction of that and is installed in under an hour.

Yes, we install whole-home standby generators that switch on automatically when a storm knocks out power. A transfer switch isolates your home from the utility line the moment the grid goes down, and NEC Article 702 requires that a switch be installed on every permanent generator connection. In May 2013, OG&E reported more than 61,500 customers without power across Moore and the metro after that year's EF5 tornado. A properly sized generator keeps refrigerators, sump pumps, and HVAC running through outages like that. We size the unit to your panel and pull the permit before work starts.

Oklahoma's Residential Property Condition Disclosure Act requires sellers to report known electrical defects, but that form only covers what the seller knows. It doesn't replace an independent inspection. Buyers in Moore commonly hire a licensed electrician to check the panel, wiring, and GFCI protection before closing, especially on homes built before 1990. A written report with photos gives you documentation to negotiate repairs before you sign. Homes near Moore's original townsite often carry mixed vintage wiring from decades of remodels, so we check every accessible junction, not just the panel.

Yes, our team takes urgent calls in Moore outside normal business hours, including nights and weekends when storms roll through Central Oklahoma. A dead panel, a burning smell, or a sparking outlet after a lightning strike should not wait until Monday. The National Fire Protection Association attributes electrical distribution and lighting equipment to an average of 30,740 home fires nationally each year, and warning signs often surface right after a power surge. If you smell burning plastic or a breaker won't reset, cut power to that circuit at the panel if you can safely reach it and call us.

Most homeowners insurance carriers in Oklahoma won't issue or renew a policy on a house with an active fuse box, and lenders often flag it during a sale. Fuses are not inherently unsafe, but decades of homeowners installing oversized fuses to stop the blowing create an overload risk that a breaker catches but a fuse doesn't. Moore has plenty of homes from the 1950s and 1960s that still carry original fuse panels, particularly in older sections outside the rebuilt 1999 and 2013 storm zones. We swap a fuse panel for a modern 150- or 200-amp breaker panel in a single day in most cases, and we handle the permit and city inspection so your insurer has documentation on file.

A smart panel tracks power use circuit by circuit and can shed non-essential loads automatically during a generator-powered outage, which matters in a city that loses power to severe weather often. Instead of guessing which breaker feeds the well pump or the air conditioner, you get real-time data on a phone app and an alert when a circuit draws unusual current, often the first sign of a loose connection or a failing appliance. Smart panels pair well with the standby generators we install, since load shedding allows a smaller generator to run the whole house rather than just a handful of circuits. We recommend pairing a smart panel with a planned panel upgrade rather than adding one later, since it saves a second labor visit.
