Residential Electrical Service
Built For Electrical Panel Upgrade, Not Generic Service Calls
Spark Shark Electric in Moore, Oklahoma replaces residential electrical panels and upgrades service for homes across the OKC Metro Area. If your home has a fuse box, limited capacity, visible damage, recurring problems, or older equipment such as a Federal Pacific Stab-Lok or Zinsco panel, it deserves a model-specific inspection and load assessment. We replace panels, upgrade service where the calculated load supports it, install sub-panels, and address code requirements within the permitted project scope. Pricing is written before work begins.
What We Handle
When You Need A Panel Upgrade
Breakers Trip Repeatedly
Even with normal use.
Major Load
You're adding a major load: EV charger, hot tub, central A/C, electric range, or whole-home generator.
Corrosion, Rust, Discoloration, Unusual Heat, Buzzing, Or A Burning Odor
The panel has corrosion, rust, discoloration, unusual heat, buzzing, or a burning odor. Do not touch a panel that appears hot or damaged.
Older Brand Or Model That Warrants Closer Evaluation
The panel is an older brand or model that warrants closer evaluation, including Federal Pacific Stab-Lok or Zinsco/Sylvania equipment.
Insurance Carrier
Your insurance carrier asked for a panel swap as a condition of renewal.
How We Think About The Work
How We Approach A Panel Upgrade
Every home has different wiring, load demands, access, and code requirements. Spark Shark Electric keeps the visit focused on the actual problem, the available options, and the written scope before work begins.
Panel Assessment
We look at your existing panel and meter base, walk through your loads, and put the project in writing. A standard $59 dispatch fee applies, and any site visit, trip, or diagnostic charges are disclosed before scheduling.
Permit Pulled, Inspection Scheduled
Every panel job gets a permit and an inspection. Required by Oklahoma residential code; we handle the paperwork.
OG&E Coordination
Service upgrades require the utility to disconnect and reconnect the meter. We schedule that for you and keep the outage window as short as possible.
Up Front Pricing
One written project number after assessment, with charges disclosed before work begins.
Safety-First Routing
If the panel is hot, buzzing, smoking, or repeatedly tripping, call instead of booking online so we can treat it as urgent.

Common Oklahoma City-Area Panel Scenarios
Mid-Century OKC Homes
Built in the 1960s-1970s often need a service upgrade to support modern HVAC and kitchen loads.
Federal Pacific Stab-Lok And Zinsco
Equipment should be identified by exact model and inspected in context. The CPSC closed its Federal Pacific investigation without making a safety determination, while also reporting that some tested breakers failed certain UL calibration requirements. Brand alone is not a substitute for an inspection.
Older Moore And Norman Neighborhoods
Meter bases and service masts that took storm damage often need replacement at the same time as the panel.
EV Charger And Generator Additions
The existing service, calculated load, equipment requirements, and available panel space determine whether a panel change is needed.

Related Service Paths
Breaker Problems First

Safety Verification
Insurance notes, older panels, or unclear symptoms can start with an electrical safety inspection.
Urgent Panel Symptoms
Hot panels, buzzing, sparking, smoke, or burning smells should go through 24/7 emergency electrical service.
Panel Decision

FAQ
Common Questions
How long does a panel upgrade take?
Timing depends on utility coordination, permit and inspection availability, panel location, service equipment, and code corrections. We give you a project-specific schedule before work begins.
Do I need to be home?
Yes. Power to the home will be off for several hours during the upgrade. Plan for the day, and we'll coordinate the OG&E window to keep the outage as short as possible.
Do you pull the permit?
Yes. Every panel job we do gets a permit and a city inspection. That's included in our up front price, and you don't pay the permit fee separately.
Can you upgrade a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel?
Yes. We identify the exact equipment, inspect its condition and installation, discuss any insurer requirements you received, and recommend the appropriate scope. We do not describe every panel from either brand as a government recall.
How much does a panel upgrade cost in the OKC Metro Area?
Most Spark Shark Electric panel replacement customers in the OKC Metro Area land around $2,200-$9,600. Final price depends on the panel size you need, the condition of the meter base, the service mast, grounding/bonding, any code corrections, and any utility coordination. We give you a written up front quote after an on-site assessment, with the required scope and charges disclosed before work begins.
Should I call or book online for a panel issue?
Call if the panel is hot, buzzing, smoking, smells like burning, or keeps tripping. Book online for planned panel upgrades, generator readiness, EV charger readiness, or service-capacity questions.
