Bixby is about 11 miles southwest of our Broken Arrow office, and it has grown fast. We help Bixby homeowners with everything from a tripping breaker to the circuits behind a new pool or outdoor kitchen.

Bixby is in Tulsa and Wagoner Counties, Oklahoma (population 28,609 (2020 census), 2020 census). Bixby grew from 20,884 people in 2010 to 28,609 in 2020, one of the fastest growth rates in the Tulsa area. That growth means a lot of newer homes with big garages, backyards and pools, alongside the original town south of the Arkansas River.

## Electrician in Bixby OK, from a crew 11 miles away

If you are looking for an electrician in Bixby OK, Hot Shot Electric Service Co. is a family-owned electrical contractor based on the east side of Broken Arrow, about 11 miles from Bixby. We have been licensed in Oklahoma since 1995 under contractor license #26574, and every job is run by a licensed journeyman. When you call, you talk to someone on our team, and you get the price before any work starts.

## A town that doubled its rooftops

Bixby calls itself the Garden Spot of Oklahoma, and for most of its history it was farm country along the Arkansas River, later a center for growing sod. That has changed quickly. The city went from 20,884 people in 2010 to 28,609 in 2020, an increase of about 37 percent, and much of that growth is newer subdivisions on both sides of the river.

Newer homes still need an electrician. What changes is the kind of call. Instead of rewiring old circuits, Bixby homeowners tend to call us about adding things the builder did not: a Level 2 charger in the garage, a circuit for a freezer or a shop, a ceiling fan on the back porch, a pool and its pump, lighting for the landscaping. And sometimes about the builder's work itself, when connections loosen or GFCI and AFCI breakers trip for no clear reason.

## Backyard electrical done in the right order

A lot of Bixby projects happen in the backyard, and the order of operations matters more there than anywhere else. Circuits for an outdoor kitchen need to be run before the counters and stone go on. Pool wiring has to be planned with the bonding and GFCI protection the code requires around water. Landscape lighting goes in best before the beds are finished. When we are brought in early, the job is cleaner and usually cheaper.

- [Pool and hot tub electrical](https://hotshotelectrical.com/swimming-pool-and-hot-tubs/): pump, heater and light circuits, the disconnect, GFCI protection and bonding.
- [Outdoor kitchens](https://hotshotelectrical.com/outdoor-kitchens/): dedicated circuits for the grill, fridge and lights, with weatherproof GFCI outlets.
- [Landscape lighting](https://hotshotelectrical.com/landscape-lighting/): transformer, fixtures and wiring that hold up through Oklahoma weather.
- [Patio fans, lighting and heaters](https://hotshotelectrical.com/patio-fans-and-lighting/): damp-rated fans and infrared heaters on circuits sized for them.

**Check the panel first** A pool pump, a hot tub, a car charger and an outdoor kitchen can each add a large load. Before any of them, we do a load check on your panel. Sometimes the answer is a simple new circuit; sometimes it is a [panel upgrade](https://hotshotelectrical.com/services/electrical-panel-upgrade/). You will know which before you commit.

## Bixby electricians for the everyday problems too

Not every call is a project. Outlets die, breakers trip, lights flicker, and something that worked yesterday does not work today. That is [troubleshooting and repair](https://hotshotelectrical.com/services/electrical-troubleshooting-repair/), and it is the most common thing we do anywhere. We will usually walk you through a few checks on the phone first: the wall switch, the breaker, any GFCI reset buttons, and PSO's outage map if more than one room is out. If one of those fixes it, you have saved a service call.

If it does need a visit, the troubleshooting visit carries a diagnostic fee that includes a roughly 20-point safety inspection, and you get the repair price before any work starts. Planned projects get a free estimate. Details are on our [pricing page](https://hotshotelectrical.com/pricing/).

## Permits and power in Bixby

Bixby sits mostly in Tulsa County with a part in Wagoner County, but for work inside city limits the City of Bixby handles electrical permits and inspections. We pull the permit when the job needs one and schedule the inspection. Most homes there get power from PSO, which owns the lines and the meter; you own the meter base and everything on your side of it.

## Sod country, and what is buried under it

Bixby's sod farms are a reminder that a lot happens just below the surface out here. Before any trench for a pool feed, a landscape lighting run or a circuit to a detached garage, underground utilities have to be located. In Oklahoma that call goes to OKIE811, the state's one-call center, and it is free. Private lines a previous owner installed, such as a sprinkler system or a feed to a shed, are not marked by that service, so tell us about anything you know is buried before we dig.

Burial depth matters too. Low-voltage landscape lighting cable runs shallow, but line-voltage circuits to a pool, a hot tub or an outbuilding have to be buried at the depth the electrical code requires for the type of wiring and conduit used. Doing it right is slower than doing it fast, and it is the part of the job nobody sees once the yard is put back.

## Questions Bixby homeowners ask on the phone

- **Can my panel handle a car charger and a hot tub?** Maybe both, maybe one. A load check tells us, and you get the answer before any work is priced.
- **Do I need a permit?** For new circuits, a panel or a service upgrade, usually yes. We pull it.
- **Can you come today?** If it is urgent and we can get there during business hours, yes. If it is planned work, we will set a time that fits you.
- **What will it cost?** Planned work gets a free estimate. Troubleshooting carries a diagnostic fee. Either way, you see the number before we start.
