Clemens Electric & Construction has been the trusted name for residential and commercial electrical work in Yukon since 1991. For 35 years, we have handled everything from a tripping breaker to a full-service panel upgrade, and we have done it for homeowners, property managers, and businesses all across Canadian County. Whether you need a local electrician for a quick repair or a licensed electrician to manage a larger rewiring project, we are the crew that shows up ready to work. Quick response. Straight pricing. No surprises at the panel. Call (572) 223-5695 to get started.
Every home's wiring tells a different story, and after 35 years in this community, we have heard just about all of them. Clemens Electric & Construction got its start in 1991 when founder Dale Clemens set out to build an electrical contracting business that put the customer first. Dale had grown up watching his father wire houses in the area, and he wanted to carry that same hands-on, honest approach into his own work. What started as a one-truck operation out of Yukon grew steadily through word of mouth, one satisfied customer at a time.
Today we are still a family-run electrical business, and that has never changed. We serve homeowners, property managers, small businesses, and commercial clients throughout Canadian County and into the surrounding communities, including Mustang, Bethany, Tuttle, El Reno, Weatherford, Piedmont, and Blanchard. We show up, and we keep you posted until the job is done. Give us a call and we'll get the power sorted.
Dealing with a tripping breaker or a dead outlet? Those kinds of problems rarely fix themselves, and waiting on them can turn a small issue into a bigger one. We handle the full range of everyday electrical repairs: flickering lights, outlets that stopped working, breakers that keep tripping, warm or sparking outlets, burning smells near a panel or receptacle, power out in one room, and situations where half the house has gone dark with no clear reason.
When we arrive, we start with a thorough diagnostic. Our experienced electricians who respect your home will trace the problem to its source before recommending any repair. We check for arc-fault and ground-fault conditions, test GFCI and AFCI protection where it applies, and look at the broader circuit to make sure nothing upstream is contributing to the issue. You get a clear explanation of what we found and what it will take to fix it. One call brings an electrician to your door.
If you're not sure your panel can handle the load, that is a question worth answering sooner rather than later. Older homes in Canadian County were often built when 60-amp or 100-amp service was considered sufficient. Today's households run far more electrical load, and a panel that cannot keep up is both a nuisance and a safety concern.
We handle breaker panel repair and replacement, 200-amp panel upgrades, service-entrance and meter upgrades, subpanel installation, and load calculations to make sure your system is sized correctly. We also install dedicated circuits for major appliances, kitchen circuits, laundry circuits, and any other high-draw equipment that needs its own path to the panel. The goal is always the wiring done right the first time, so you are not calling us back for the same problem twice. We'll sort the wiring and clean up after.
No matter what's going wrong with your wiring, the underlying condition of the wire itself matters. Older homes built before modern code standards can have knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum branch-circuit wiring, or other systems that have outlived their safe service life. We handle whole-home rewiring, knob-and-tube replacement, and aluminum wiring remediation, and we bring all of it up to current electrical code.
This work comes up often during home sales, insurance inspections, and renovation projects. If an inspector has flagged a code violation or your insurer has raised questions about the wiring, we can assess the situation, explain what needs to change, and carry out the repairs. Grounding and bonding, proper circuit protection, and clean panel terminations all factor into code-compliant wiring. We document our work and do it to standard.
Electrical work that is done to code is not just a box to check. It protects the people living or working in the building, and it protects the building itself. Every job we complete follows the current National Electrical Code and any local amendments that apply in Canadian County. We pull permits where required, and we do not take shortcuts that save time on our end but create problems on yours.
For older Yukon homes especially, a thorough look at the existing wiring can reveal conditions that have quietly become hazardous over the years. We take that seriously. The work we do is meant to last, and we stand behind it.
Seeing flickering lights or a warm outlet? Sometimes the fixture itself is the issue, and sometimes the circuit feeding it needs attention. Either way, we handle it. We install and replace ceiling fans, light fixtures, recessed and LED lighting, can lights, under-cabinet lighting, and bathroom exhaust fans. For outdoor work, we install security lights, motion sensor lights, landscape lighting, and any other exterior fixtures that need a proper circuit and weatherproof installation.
Good lighting and properly wired fans make a real difference in how a home feels and functions. We work cleanly, patch what we disturb, and leave the space the way we found it.
Every home's wiring tells a different story when it comes to what the household actually needs. For homeowners adding an electric vehicle, a Level 2 EV charger requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit sized for the charger's output. We assess your panel capacity, run the circuit, and install the charger outlet or hardwired unit correctly.
For backup power, we focus on the electrical side of the installation: the transfer switch, the panel connection, and the wiring that allows a generator to power your home safely without back-feeding the grid. We work with both standby and portable generator setups. Whole-home surge protection is a separate but equally important upgrade. A single power surge can damage appliances, electronics, and the wiring itself. A whole-home suppressor installed at the panel is a straightforward way to protect everything connected to your electrical system.
We work with property managers, business owners, and contractors on commercial electrical projects throughout the area. Office wiring, retail electrical, commercial panel upgrades, and commercial wiring installation are all part of what we do. We understand that commercial clients need reliable scheduling, clear communication, and work completed without disrupting operations any more than necessary.
On the residential side, we handle electrician work for home additions, remodels, basement finishing, and new construction. Wiring for additions and renovations requires careful coordination with the rest of the existing system, and we plan accordingly. All work is performed by licensed electricians who carry the trade knowledge to do it correctly and to code. We also handle specialty circuits such as hot tub wiring and pool electrical hookups when a project calls for it.
Quick response. Straight pricing. No surprises at the panel. Those are not just words. When you call us, we give you a clear picture of what the work involves and what it will cost before we start. If something unexpected comes up during the job, we tell you about it before we proceed. You should never open a final invoice and see a number that was not discussed.
We offer same-day scheduling for many calls, and we are available for electrical emergencies around the clock. If you have a situation that cannot wait, call us. After-hours and emergency calls are handled by the same crew, not a separate service. We are here when you need us.
Older homes in Yukon and across Canadian County benefit most from a full electrical safety inspection, but any home can have conditions that have gone unnoticed for years. We perform whole-house electrical inspections that look at the panel, the branch circuits, the outlets, the grounding and bonding, and the overall condition of the wiring. We check for missing or outdated GFCI protection in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas, and we install AFCI breakers where code requires them.
We also wire smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors as part of a broader safety upgrade. If you are buying or selling a home, or if your insurer has requested an inspection, we can document the condition of the system and address anything that needs correction. Proactive safety work costs far less than reactive repair after something has gone wrong.
We have been in business since 1991, which puts us at 35 years of electrical work in Yukon and across Canadian County. The business started as a one-truck operation and grew through word of mouth from satisfied customers. That history shapes how we approach every job today.
Yes. We are a family-run electrical business, and that has been true since Dale Clemens founded the company in 1991. The same values that built the business are still how we operate: show up on time, do the work right, and keep the customer informed from start to finish.
We start every visit with a clear diagnostic before recommending any repair, and we explain what we found in plain language before we begin. If something unexpected comes up mid-job, we stop and talk to you before we proceed. We show up, and we keep you posted until the job is done.
Call us and we will come back to take a look. We do not treat a callback as an inconvenience. If the issue is related to work we completed, we address it. Our goal is the wiring done right the first time, but if something needs a second look, we want to know about it.
We treat your home the way we would want our own handled. That means protecting floors and walls while we work, removing debris when we are finished, and leaving the space the way we found it. Experienced electricians who respect your home do not leave a mess behind.
It means we give you a clear number before work begins, and that number does not change unless the scope of the job changes and we discuss it with you first. There are no line items added after the fact and no totals that surprise you when the invoice arrives.
We set out to build an electrical business that puts the customer first and does the work to a standard we are proud of. After 35 years in Canadian County, that has not changed. We want every customer to feel confident calling us back for the next job.
Yes. We work alongside general contractors, remodelers, and property managers throughout Canadian County on both residential and commercial projects. We coordinate with other trades on addition and renovation jobs so the electrical work fits the broader project schedule.
We serve homeowners, landlords, property managers, small businesses, and commercial clients throughout Yukon and the surrounding area. Whether the job is a quick repair for a homeowner or a commercial tenant improvement for a property manager, we bring the same approach to every project.

| Service Type | Scope of Work | Common Situations | Things to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wiring and Circuit Installation | New circuit runs, Dedicated appliance circuits, Knob-and-tube and aluminum remediation, Whole-home rewiring | Older homes with aging wiring or any property adding new electrical loads | Aluminum branch wiring and knob-and-tube systems can create insurance and safety concerns. We assess and remediate both. |
| Electrical Safety Inspections | Panel and wiring condition review, GFCI and AFCI verification, Grounding and bonding check, Pre-purchase or pre-renovation review | Buyers, sellers, landlords, and homeowners with older or unfamiliar wiring | An inspection before a remodel or purchase gives you a clear picture of what the wiring can handle and what needs attention. |
| Ceiling Fan Installation | New fan installation, Replacement of existing fixtures, Switch leg wiring where none exists | Any room where a ceiling fan is being added or an old fixture replaced | Installing a fan where no wiring exists requires running a new switch leg. We handle that as part of the installation. |
| EV Charger Installation | Dedicated 240-volt circuit, Panel capacity check and upgrade if needed, Garage and exterior wall mounting, All EV makes and models | Homeowners adding a Level 2 home charger for any electric vehicle | We start with a panel check to confirm capacity. If the panel needs an upgrade first, we handle that as part of the same project. |
| Basement and Sump-Pump Circuits | Dedicated sump-pump circuits, Basement outlet and lighting installation, GFCI protection in wet areas, Finished basement wiring | Homeowners finishing a basement or adding a sump pump on a dedicated circuit | A sump pump should run on its own dedicated circuit so a tripped breaker elsewhere does not leave the pump without power during a storm. |
| Electrical Repairs and Troubleshooting | Dead outlets and switches, Tripping or faulty breakers, Flickering or dimming lights, Burning smells and warm covers | Any homeowner or business with an active electrical problem | A warm outlet or burning smell near the panel is worth a same-day call. These conditions do not improve on their own. |
| Backup Generator Installation | Transfer switch installation, Generator circuit and hookup, Panel connection sizing, Essential-circuit configuration | Homeowners who want power during Oklahoma storm outages and ice events | We handle the electrical side of the hookup. The transfer switch prevents back-feed to the utility line, which is a code and safety requirement. |
| Older-Home Rewiring | Full or partial rewiring, Knob-and-tube and aluminum replacement, Code-compliant materials throughout, Panel upgrade coordination | Homes where aging wiring has reached the end of its useful life | Whole-home rewiring is often done in stages. We can assess what needs immediate attention and what can be phased over time. |
| Wiring for Additions and Remodels | Electrical rough-in for additions, Kitchen and bath remodel wiring, New circuit runs for expanded spaces, Code-compliant finish wiring | Homeowners, contractors, and remodelers adding or reconfiguring living space | Getting the rough-in right before walls close is the most cost-effective point to address wiring. We coordinate with your general contractor or work directly with you. |
| Whole-Home Surge Protection | Panel-mounted surge protector installation, Voltage spike interception, Pairing with panel upgrades | Any home with computers, smart devices, or appliances worth protecting | Oklahoma sees significant lightning activity. A panel-level surge protector intercepts spikes before they reach your devices and pairs well with a panel upgrade. |
| Outlet and Switch Installation | New outlet installation, GFCI and AFCI upgrades, Switch replacement, Weatherproof outdoor outlets | Homeowners adding receptacles, upgrading protection, or replacing failed devices | GFCI protection is required by code in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas. We install and test each one before we leave. |
| Dedicated Appliance Circuits | 240-volt dryer and range outlets, Refrigerator and dishwasher circuits, Workshop and garage circuits, Washer and laundry room wiring | Homeowners adding a major appliance or a workshop with heavy tool loads | Most large appliances require their own dedicated circuit. Sharing a circuit can cause nuisance tripping and shorten appliance life. |
| Electrical Panel and Service Upgrades | 200-amp service upgrades, Breaker box replacement, Subpanel installation, Load calculations and grounding | Homes with undersized panels, outdated equipment, or new high-draw loads | We pull the required permits so every upgrade is documented and inspectable. Grounding and bonding are checked and corrected as part of every panel job. |
| Lighting Installation | Recessed LED lighting, Exterior and security fixtures, Under-cabinet and accent lighting, Motion-sensor lights | Homeowners refreshing a room, adding outdoor security, or upgrading to LED | Outdoor fixtures in Oklahoma need to handle heat, humidity, and storm exposure. We use weatherproof-rated hardware for all exterior work. |
| Breaker and Fuse Repair | Breaker replacement, Fuse panel diagnosis, Repeated-trip troubleshooting | Homes where a breaker trips under normal loads or fails to reset | A breaker that trips repeatedly under normal use is usually signaling an underlying wiring or load issue, not just a weak breaker. |
How do I know if my panel needs an upgrade?
A few reliable signs: breakers that trip under normal household loads, a panel that feels warm to the touch, a fuse box rather than a breaker panel, or a 100-amp service in a home running modern appliances and HVAC equipment. If you are adding an EV charger, a generator hookup, or a significant remodel, we start with a load calculation to see whether the existing service can carry the new demand. Call us and we will walk through what you are seeing.
What causes a breaker to trip repeatedly?
A breaker that trips repeatedly under normal use is usually telling you one of three things: the circuit is carrying more load than it was sized for, there is a wiring fault somewhere on that circuit, or the breaker itself has weakened and no longer holds its rated load. Resetting it without finding the cause just delays the diagnosis. We trace the circuit, identify the source, and give you a clear answer before any work begins.
Is the electrical work permitted and inspected?
Yes. Work that requires a permit, such as panel upgrades, service changes, and new circuit installations, is pulled and inspected. Permits create a record that the work was done to code, which matters when you sell the home or file an insurance claim. We handle the permit process so you do not have to track it down yourself.
Same-Day Availability for Repairs
We do our best to accommodate same-day calls for repairs and urgent situations. Call early in the day for the best chance at a same-day appointment, and we will give you an honest answer about timing when you call.
How do I know if the wiring in my older home is safe?
Homes built before the 1980s may have wiring systems that were acceptable at the time but create real concerns today. Aluminum branch wiring, knob-and-tube systems, and two-prong ungrounded outlets are the most common issues we see in the Yukon area. An inspection gives you a clear picture of what you have and what, if anything, needs attention. We do not recommend work that is not necessary.
What does EV charger installation involve?
A Level 2 home charger runs on a dedicated 240-volt circuit, similar to a dryer or electric range. We start by checking your panel to confirm it has the capacity and an available breaker position. If it does, we run the dedicated circuit to your garage or exterior wall. If the panel is undersized, we handle the upgrade as part of the same project. The charger unit is your choice; we wire the circuit to fit whatever you select.
How does backup generator hookup work on the electrical side?
We install the transfer switch and run the circuit connection between the generator and your panel. The transfer switch is the critical piece: it isolates your home from the utility line when the generator is running, which is both a code requirement and a safety requirement for utility workers. We size the panel connection for the generator you have or plan to purchase and configure which circuits will be covered.
Upfront Quotes With No Surprise Fees
We give you a clear number before work begins. We explain what we found, what it takes to correct it, and what it will cost. You decide whether to proceed before we touch anything.
Do I need to be home when the electrician arrives?
For most jobs, yes. We need access to the panel, the work area, and any rooms where circuits need to be traced or tested. If your situation makes that difficult, call us and we will talk through whether the specific job can be handled another way. Before any work begins, we explain what we found and what it will cost. You decide whether to proceed.
Why would outlets or switches stop working?
Dead outlets are usually caused by a tripped GFCI somewhere upstream, a tripped breaker, a loose wire connection at the device or in the box, or a failed outlet that has simply worn out. Switches fail for similar reasons. The fix is usually straightforward once we trace the circuit. If multiple outlets go dead at once, that points to a breaker or upstream GFCI rather than individual device failure.
Code-Compliant Work on Every Job
We pull the required permits, use code-compliant materials, and leave every job inspectable. That record matters when you sell your home or need to document the work for insurance.
What do flickering or dimming lights usually mean?
Occasional flicker when a large appliance starts up is normal. Persistent flickering, dimming across multiple rooms, or lights that dim when you run the microwave or a motor usually point to a loose connection, an overloaded circuit, or a service issue at the panel or meter. These are worth having looked at rather than waiting to see whether they get worse.
What is whole-home surge protection and is it worth it?
A whole-home surge protector mounts at your panel and intercepts voltage spikes before they reach your circuits and devices. Oklahoma sees significant lightning activity, and a nearby strike can damage televisions, computers, smart-home equipment, and appliances that were not even plugged into a surge strip. Panel-level protection covers everything in the house at once. It is one of the most cost-effective electrical upgrades available, and it pairs naturally with any panel replacement we are already doing.
When should I call an electrician instead of trying to fix it myself?
Replacing a light bulb or resetting a tripped breaker is fine. Anything beyond that, including replacing outlets, switches, fixtures, or breakers, involves working inside live panels or junction boxes and carries real risk if the circuit is not properly de-energized and verified. Work performed by licensed electricians is also required for permitted work. If you are unsure, a quick call costs nothing and we can tell you whether the job is something we need to handle.
Call (572) 223-5695 and tell us what you are dealing with. We will walk you through what the job involves, give you a clear quote, and get it on the schedule.
