ACE Electrical Services is a licensed electrical contractor serving Oklahoma City's residential and commercial properties, handling everything from panel upgrades and new circuit installation to troubleshooting existing wiring problems and code-required inspections.
A full-service electrical contractor operating in the Oklahoma City metro area, ACE holds the licensing required to work on residential and commercial electrical systems and to pull permits through the city. The company handles both planned projects (renovations, new construction, system upgrades) and emergency calls, with same-day response available for urgent jobs. The operator works alone or with a helper depending on job scope, which keeps overhead lower than larger multi-crew shops but means scheduling flexibility varies by workload.
ACE handles panel upgrades (replacing or adding circuits to an existing breaker box), outlet and switch installation, troubleshooting dead circuits or outlets, ceiling fan and light fixture installation, and whole-home rewiring on older properties. Service calls to diagnose an electrical problem run $75 to $100 and typically take 30 to 60 minutes; that diagnostic fee is credited toward the repair if you move forward. Labor runs $65 to $85 per hour for standard work, with panel upgrades or rewiring billed at the higher end. A new 20-amp circuit installed in an accessible wall costs $200 to $350 depending on run length and whether the work requires drywall opening. Panel upgrades range from $1,500 to $4,000 depending on whether you're adding circuits to an existing panel or replacing the entire panel and upgrading service (confirm current pricing before committing, as material costs for breakers and panels shift seasonally).
Emergency calls outside normal business hours carry a $150 surcharge. Permits, required for any work affecting the main panel or adding circuits in Oklahoma City, are pulled by ACE and cost $50 to $150 depending on job scope; the city inspection fee is separate.
ACE operates differently from larger shops like Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Drain Service (which maintains an electrical division) or Mr. Sparky, both of which dispatch multiple crews and can handle same-day calls across wider geographic areas in exchange for slightly higher per-hour rates. Roto-Rooter's electrical team charges $75 to $95 per hour and pulls permits in-house, useful if you want one company managing multiple home systems; Mr. Sparky charges $85 to $110 per hour and emphasizes availability in north OKC suburbs. For straightforward residential jobs in central Oklahoma City (panel work, outlet installation, fixture swaps), ACE's lower labor rate and willingness to quote fixed prices on common jobs makes it competitive. For emergency nights-and-weekends availability or commercial work spanning multiple trades, the larger outfits have a structural advantage. For homeowners uncomfortable with solo contractors, the larger shops' multi-person teams and corporate backing can feel more formal, though ACE's licensing and insurance are identical.
ACE works best for homeowners tackling a specific electrical problem (a tripped breaker that won't reset, a dead outlet, outdated wiring in one room) or a planned upgrade (adding circuits before a kitchen renovation, installing new ceiling fans). Smaller jobs that require only a service call and quick fix fit the single-operator model well. Homeowners managing large-scale renovations or commercial buildouts may prefer larger firms with multiple crews and project managers; those needing emergency service at 2 a.m. on a Sunday should call Roto-Rooter or Mr. Sparky, as ACE's after-hours availability is limited. Customers who want a company that bundles electrical, plumbing, and HVAC under one roof should look elsewhere.
Call ACE with a description of the problem or the job scope. You'll be given a time window (usually same-day or next-day) for a service call. The electrician will arrive with basic diagnostic tools, identify the issue, explain what needs to happen (repair, upgrade, permit requirement), and quote a price. If it's a simple fix, it may be done on that visit. If it requires a permit or materials not on hand, ACE will schedule a return appointment and pull the permit. After work is complete, the city inspector schedules a separate inspection (typically within 5 to 7 business days); ACE coordinates the inspection time but you're responsible for ensuring someone is home.
ACE operates Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., with limited Saturday availability by appointment. No storefront; work is done at your property. Call or text to request service; response time is typically within 2 to 4 hours on weekdays. Parking is not an issue since the electrician comes to you.
ACE Electrical earns its position in Oklahoma City's home services market by combining legitimate licensing and permitting with straightforward pricing on jobs most homeowners actually need, whether that's diagnosing a wiring failure or expanding capacity ahead of a renovation.
