Electric Panel Upgrade And Replacement for Bixby Homeowners
If your home’s electrical panel is struggling to keep up with modern demands, you are not alone. Many Bixby homes, especially those built in the 1970s through the 1990s, are still running on panels that were never designed for today’s appliance loads, EV chargers, or home additions.
Hot Shot Electric, LLC specializes in electric panel upgrade and replacement for residential and light commercial customers throughout Bixby and the surrounding area, including Broken Arrow, Jenks, and Glenpool. Our licensed electricians bring the experience and equipment needed to get your panel replaced safely, up to code, and without unnecessary delays.
What’s Included in Our Electric Panel Upgrade And Replacement
When you hire Hot Shot Electric, LLC for a panel upgrade, you get a complete solution, not just a box swap. We handle every step from permitting to final inspection so there are no surprises along the way.
Full Panel Assessment Before Work Begins
Before we touch a single wire, we inspect your existing panel, service entrance, and branch circuits. This lets us identify any underlying issues like outdated wiring, undersized conductors, or code violations that need to be addressed as part of the upgrade.
New Panel Installation with Quality Materials
We install panels from reliable manufacturers that meet Oklahoma electrical code requirements. Whether you need a 100-amp upgrade for a smaller Bixby home or a 200-amp panel to support a larger property with an EV charger or pool equipment, we size the panel correctly from the start. All connections are made to code and torqued to manufacturer specifications.
Permit Pulling and Final Inspection Coordination
Electrical panel work in Bixby requires a city permit and a licensed inspection before power is restored. We handle the permit application, coordinate the utility disconnect with PSO, and schedule the final inspection on your behalf. You will receive documentation confirming the work passed inspection.

When Do You Need Electric Panel Upgrade And Replacement?
Not every electrical problem means you need a new panel, but there are clear warning signs that your Bixby home has outgrown its current system. Catching these signs early can save you from bigger and more expensive problems down the road.
Breakers That Trip Frequently or Will Not Reset
If your breakers are tripping regularly under normal use, that is a sign your panel is overloaded or a breaker has worn out and can no longer hold its rating. Repeatedly resetting breakers is not a fix. It is a warning that the panel needs a closer look from a licensed electrician.
Older Bixby Homes with Original Panels or Fuse Boxes
Many homes in established Bixby neighborhoods still have their original electrical panels. Some of these are brands known to have product issues, like Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels, which have a documented history of breaker failures. If your home has one of these panels, a replacement is not optional. It is a safety issue.
Planning a Major Addition or New Electrical Load
Adding an EV charger installation, a hot tub, or a large home addition almost always requires more panel capacity than older systems can provide. Upgrading the panel before these projects begin means the work gets done right and the new circuits are safe from day one.
Do not wait for a serious problem before addressing a panel that is past its useful life. The cost of acting now is far less than the cost of dealing with an electrical fire or failed inspection later.

Schedule Your Free Estimate
Reach out by phone or online to set up a free estimate at your Bixby property. We respond quickly, confirm your appointment, and show up on time with the tools and knowledge to give you a clear picture of what the job involves.
Assess Your Electrical System and Capacity Needs
Our electrician inspects the existing panel, service entrance, meter base, and branch circuits. We evaluate your current and anticipated electrical loads, check for any code issues, and give you a detailed written estimate before any work begins. If we find related issues like aluminum wiring repair and replacement needs or outdated outlets, we will flag those as well.
Complete the Panel Installation and Restore Power
On installation day, we coordinate with the utility company for the temporary service disconnect, remove the old panel, and install the new one. All circuits are reconnected, labeled, and tested before we restore power. Most Bixby homes are fully powered again within the same day.
Pass Final Inspection and Walk You Through the Results
After installation, a city inspector reviews the work to confirm everything meets Oklahoma electrical code. Once the inspection passes, we walk you through your new panel, explain each circuit breaker, and answer any questions you have. You will also get copies of all permit and inspection records for your files.
