Electrical Work in Tuscola: What to Know
Who supplies your power depends on your address. AEP owns a substation in the City of Tuscola, and Taylor Electric Cooperative, a member-owned co-op based in Merkel, serves many rural areas of Taylor County. If AEP Texas delivers your power, you choose a retail electric provider, which you can compare on the state’s Power to Choose site. Co-op members buy power from the co-op and do not pick a retail provider. Your bill shows which applies to you.
Many homes are a few decades old. Census survey estimates put the median year homes were built in Tuscola around 1984. Homes of that age often still have their original outlets, switches and panel. If your home was built between 1965 and the mid 1970s, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission notes that some homes from that period have aluminum branch wiring, which needs the right connectors at outlets and switches.

Emergency Electrical Problems in Tuscola
Some electrical problems should not wait: a burning smell, an outlet or switch that is hot, sparking, buzzing from the panel, or a breaker that will not reset. Turn off the affected circuit at the breaker if you can do it safely, and call (325) 326-5306. If you see smoke or flames, leave and call 911. If your neighbors have lost power too, report the outage to the utility on your bill.
Grass fires are a real risk in this part of the county. In January 2018, a grass fire off County Road 154 near Tuscola destroyed a storage house, two outbuildings and a travel trailer. Keep dry grass cleared around meter poles, outdoor panels and equipment, and have damaged outdoor wiring repaired rather than patched.
