Spark Shark Electric in Moore, Oklahoma replaces residential electrical panels and upgrades service for homes across the OKC metro. If your home still has a fuse box, an undersized 100-amp panel, or a known-defective brand like Federal Pacific or Zinsco, you're running modern electrical loads through outdated equipment. We swap panels, upgrade service to 200A or 400A, install sub-panels, and bring older Oklahoma City and Moore homes up to current code — every job permitted, inspected, and written flat-rate.

When you need a panel upgrade

  • Your home has a fuse box (any age) or a panel rated below 100A.
  • Breakers trip repeatedly, even with normal use.
  • You're adding a major load: EV charger, hot tub, central A/C, electric range, or whole-home generator.
  • The panel is corroded, rusted, or feels warm to the touch.
  • Your panel brand is on a known recall or insurance-flagged list: Federal Pacific Stab-Lok, Zinsco/Sylvania, certain Challenger models, and aging Pushmatic panels.
  • Your insurance carrier asked for a panel swap as a condition of renewal.

How we approach a panel upgrade

  • Free site visit and inspection. We come out, look at your existing panel and meter base, walk through your loads, and put it all in writing. No trip charge, no diagnostic fee.
  • 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.
  • Flat-rate priced. One written number — no trip charge, no shop-supplies fee, no surprise add-ons.

What's typically included

  • New main service panel sized for your load (200A is the most common upgrade target).
  • Meter base replacement if needed.
  • Whole-home surge protection at the panel.
  • All circuit re-terminations and labeling, with every breaker labeled to its actual load.
  • Code-required AFCI/GFCI breakers where applicable.
  • Permit and inspection.

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 panels have well-documented failure modes (breakers that don't trip when they should), and replacement is increasingly insurance-driven.
  • 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: a 200A panel is usually the prerequisite, and we'll cross-quote the panel and the new equipment in one written estimate.
FAQ

Common questions

How long does a panel upgrade take?

Most residential panel upgrades are a single day, including the OG&E disconnect/reconnect window. More complex jobs (panel relocation, service mast replacement, sub-panel adds) can extend to a second day. We tell you the realistic schedule before we start.

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 part of our flat rate, and you don't pay the permit fee separately.

Can you upgrade a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel?

Yes, and we usually recommend it. Both brands have well-documented failure modes, and many home insurance carriers now require replacement.

How much does a panel upgrade cost in Moore or OKC?

It 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 free site visit and a flat-rate written quote, with no hidden fees and no pressure.
