The Muskogee Electrical Storm-Prep Playbook

Power protection and safety steps every Muskogee homeowner should take before storm season.

🌧️ Oklahoma’s late-summer storms bring lightning, high winds, and power surges that can wreak havoc on your home’s electrical system. At Electrician of Muskogee , we’ve seen how one strike can knock out appliances or cause hidden wiring damage. Here’s your local storm-prep checklist for a safer season.

1️⃣ Install Whole-Home Surge Protection ⚡

Lightning doesn’t need a direct hit to damage your electronics. A whole-home surge protector—installed at your main panel—absorbs excess voltage before it reaches sensitive devices. Learn more on our surge protection page.

2️⃣ Test Your Backup Generator

Don’t wait until the lights go out! Run your generator for 15 minutes and check fuel, oil, and battery levels. Need a new system? Visit our generator installation service page.

3️⃣ Label Your Breaker Panel

In an emergency, knowing which breaker controls your HVAC or refrigerator saves precious time. Our repair specialists can label and organize your circuits during a quick visit.

4️⃣ Trim Trees Near Power Lines 🌳

Fallen branches cause countless outages. Keep limbs at least 10 feet from power lines—and always hire a licensed pro for trimming near utilities.

5️⃣ Create a Power-Outage Kit

Include flashlights, batteries, a surge-protected phone charger, and our number: 918-555-0456. We handle emergency calls day or night.


🌟 Local Tip: Many Muskogee neighborhoods experience “brownouts” before major storms—short dips in voltage. Unplug TVs and computers when lightning rolls in to prevent damage.
