Homes and wiring in Tulsa
Tulsa's oil-boom neighborhoods, including Maple Ridge, Brady Heights, Swan Lake and Florence Park, are full of homes from the 1910s to the 1930s, and Brookside and Midtown add 1930s and 1940s cottages. Tornadoes, hail, ice storms and summer heat drive most electrical work.
Older homes can have knob-and-tube, small services and wiring from several renovations. Mature trees over overhead lines make storm damage to service drops and masts a common reason homeowners call.
Weather, seasons and the utility
Tulsa's spring storms bring tornadoes, large hail and lightning, and summers are hot and humid. In December 2007, an ice storm coated the city's trees and left hundreds of thousands of customers in the Tulsa area without power, some for more than a week. Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PSO) serves Tulsa and handles meters, service drops and reconnection. When a storm damages the service mast or meter base on a home, an electrician usually has to repair it before PSO can restore power.
