Key Electrical Services for Tulsa Homes and Businesses

Houchin Electric Company’s services address common needs across Tulsa’s varied neighborhoods and building types.

Electrical Safety & Diagnostic Services

Regular electrical inspections are crucial for older homes in historic districts like Maple Ridge and Swan Lake, where wiring systems may be aging.

Installation, Upgrades & Repairs

This includes panel upgrades to handle modern loads in expanding suburbs like Owasso and Bixby, outlet and fixture installations, and wire repair. A key specialization is aluminum wiring removal, a common need in many Tulsa homes built during the 1960s and 1970s construction booms.

Generator Services

Generator installation and repair provide critical backup power, essential given Oklahoma's severe spring storm season which can knock out power for extended periods.
