Residential Electrical Service
Built For Generator Installation, Not Generic Service Calls
Oklahoma weather doesn't ask permission. Ice storms, line-of-thunderstorms, tornadic systems, outages happen. A whole-home standby generator powered by natural gas or LP starts within seconds of a power loss and runs your house until the grid comes back. We size it, install it, permit it, and commission it.
What We Handle
What We Install
Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS)
Sense the outage and start the generator within 10 seconds.
Sub-Panels For Managed Loads
Optional, for homes where running everything at once would oversize the unit.
Wi-Fi Monitoring
See status and run history from your phone.
Annual Maintenance
Oil change, filter, exercise mode test, transfer switch verification.
How We Think About The Work
How We Size A Generator
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.
- We look at your service size, the breakers you actually use, and which loads matter when the power's out.
- Critical loads (HVAC, fridge/freezer, kitchen, lighting, internet) come first.
- Optional loads (electric vehicle charging, pool equipment, large workshops) are layered in or load-managed.
- We don't oversell, a too-large generator costs more, uses more fuel, and runs less efficiently.

FAQ
Common Questions
How long can a standby generator run?
On natural gas, indefinitely, as long as utility gas keeps flowing, the generator runs. On LP, runtime depends on tank size; a 500-gallon tank typically supports 5-10 days of full-load operation.
Do I need a permit?
Yes, generator installs require both an electrical permit and (typically) a gas permit. Both are pulled by us as part of the job.
How loud is it?
Modern enclosed standby generators are roughly 65-70 dB at 23 feet, about as loud as a window A/C unit. Setback distances from windows are dictated by code; we handle siting.
How much does it cost?
Whole-home installs in the OKC Metro Area generally run $9,000-$18,000 turnkey, depending on generator size, gas-line work, ATS complexity, and any panel modifications. We give a flat-rate written quote after an on-site assessment.
