Here are some of the most common electrical issues we find during inspections of residential and commercial buildings in Tulsa:
Homes over 20 years old often have older wiring that may not meet current electrical code requirements. Common problems include insufficient wire gauge for added loads, ungrounded wires, aluminum wiring, knob and tube wiring, and lack of AFCI/GFCI protection. These can present safety risks.
When too many devices run on one circuit, it can overload and trip breakers. This indicates the electrical panel may need upgraded with additional circuits.
Grounding problems – Inadequate or missing grounding puts you at risk of electrical shock. Every outlet and switch should be properly grounded.

These special outlets protect from shocks and arc faults/fires. We test all GFCIs and check panels for up-to-code AFCI breakers.
Loose wires and faulty connections can arc, overheat, and cause fires. Our electricians thoroughly check connections.
Malfunctioning or damaged breakers and fuses need replacement to prevent dangerous electrical failures.
Moisture and corrosion in the main and subpanels can lead to issues like short circuits.
Wires should never be exposed where damage could occur. This is especially unsafe in garage, attic, and basement areas.
Missing bulbs, dead fixtures, improper wattage, and lack of NFPA-recommended lighting levels can make buildings unsafe.
Any electrical work done without a permit can potentially violate codes and be hazardous.
By identifying these problems early, we can make the necessary repairs before a more serious electrical emergency occurs. Contact Ampco Electric to schedule your electrical inspection.
When an Ampco Electric inspection uncovers electrical issues, it is essential to promptly correct them. Even small code violations and minor problems left unaddressed can lead to catastrophic fires, shock and electrocution hazards, or expensive equipment damage down the road. Our master electricians not only identify issues, but also provide accurate repair recommendations and competitive estimates. We assist homeowners and businesses in prioritizing which repairs require immediate attention.
Even minor repairs like replacing a malfunctioning breaker or outlet, adding tamper-resistant receptacles, and securing loose wires can significantly improve the safety of your Tulsa electrical system. With a comprehensive repair plan from Ampco Electric, you can rest easy knowing your home or business meets the highest electrical standards.
Electrical capacity needs tend to grow over time. As you add larger appliances, more electronics and lighting, HVAC upgrades, electric vehicle chargers, hot tubs and other loads, your existing electrical panel and service wires may no longer be adequate. Warning signs of an overloaded electric service include frequent tripped breakers, flickering or dimming lights, and shutdowns. If our Tulsa electricians discover your system is undersized for your home or building’s needs, we will recommend a panel or service upgrade.
This involves replacing your outdated fuse box or panel with a new larger capacity panel and more 240V circuits to handle added loads. We generally recommend upgrading to 200 amp panels or greater for most homes today.
For major capacity increases, the service wires/conduit from the utility lines to your structure may need upgraded in addition to the panel. This requires coordination with your utility company.
When planning an upgrade, Ampco Electric will conduct thorough load calculations to determine the optimal new panel and service size per NEC requirements. We obtain all necessary city permits, coordinate with the utility, and provide a full installation or replacement of your panel, service wires, grounding, and associated branch circuit wiring. Upgrading now provides room for future expansion and ensures your electrical system operates safely for years to come.
To make your next electrical inspection in Tulsa go smoothly, Ampco Electric recommends:
Permits are needed for all new circuits, wiring, panels, and major electrical equipment installations or upgrades. The work must be complete.
All branch circuits require AFCI breakers per NEC guidelines.
The capacity must handle calculated electrical loads.
By spotting these violations proactively during our inspections, Ampco Electric can correct them before the city inspector finds them. We keep up with all Tulsa electrical codes to make the inspection process fast and easy.
