☀️ Summer in Muskogee means high heat, big energy bills, and extra demand on your electrical system. Air conditioners, fans, and refrigerators run non-stop, which can push older panels and circuits to their limits. Here’s how to stay powered and safe—straight from your local pros at Electrician of Muskogee.

1️⃣ Keep Your AC on Its Own Circuit

Your HVAC system pulls a heavy load. Make sure it’s not sharing a circuit with other major appliances. Visit our residential electrical services page to learn how we add dedicated circuits for efficient cooling.

2️⃣ Switch to LED Bulbs 💡

Traditional bulbs convert most energy into heat—not light. Swapping to LEDs cuts heat output and saves up to 75% on lighting costs. Check out our lighting upgrade options for eco-friendly retrofits.

3️⃣ Test GFCI Outlets Near Water

Pool areas, kitchens, and bathrooms should have working GFCIs. Press “test” and “reset.” If nothing happens, it’s time to replace them—before water and electricity meet. ⚠️

4️⃣ Avoid Overloaded Extension Cords

Summer fans and window units can trip breakers if too many devices share one outlet. Our repair team can safely add outlets where you need them.

5️⃣ Schedule a Mid-Season Safety Check

We inspect panels, tighten loose wires, and ensure proper grounding—keeping your family safe while your system works overtime.

🌟 Local Tip: Muskogee homes built before 1990 often lack proper surge protection. A whole-home surge suppressor costs less than replacing one fried AC unit.
