We’ve already experienced two rounds of snowfall in 2025, and it won’t be long before we’re forced to deal with another springtime tornado season! Every Arkansan considers inclement weather his or her year-round companion, and we can always count on plenty of extended power outages when Mother Nature does her worst. But what if we told you that you no longer have to “grin and bear it” when your power goes out?
Whether you built your home from the ground up or found the perfect “new to you” home after a lengthy search, you owe it to yourself and your family to ensure it’s both functional and safe. Older homes typically have a few safety issues that must be addressed to ensure they’re “move-in ready,” and homes that were constructed more recently also often need a few safety upgrades. Whatever your situation may be, our team at Gary Houston Electric is here to help!
Owning and operating a small business is all about finding ways to do more with less, and money will never be more important than creativity when it comes to maximizing the customer service experience! The first priority is getting people through your front door, and once they’re inside, you want them to stay longer and spend more! The good news is that it’s more affordable than you think to breathe a little new life into a well-established business, and our team at Gary Houston Electric is here to help!
2025 has already gotten off to a wintry start, and parts of central Arkansas were recently blanketed with nearly a foot of snow! Our children love snow days, and there’s nothing like watching them play outside as we enjoy a few unplanned days off from work. But this is also the time of year when our home heating costs predictably skyrocket, and it’s difficult to relax when we know our utility providers have the freedom to raise our rates as they see fit! The only way to fight back is to reduce our energy consumption, and that’s where our team at Gary Houston Electric comes in!
We all remember how challenging it was to find the right home, but nothing’s too good for our families! We all started out with plenty of “must haves” for our ideal home, but the reality is that we’re often limited by our budgets or what’s available for sale in our market. No one wants to compromise when buying a new home, but sometimes it makes more sense to invest in a “handyman’s special” and upgrade as your budget allows. The good news is that there are plenty of surprisingly affordable home upgrades that can be completed in a week or less, and our team at Gary Houston Electric is here to help!
The winter season is officially upon us, and savvy homeowners understand the importance of preparing their homes for freezing conditions. This is an excellent time to start winterizing your vehicles, covering up your outdoor faucets, and sealing up drafts around your windows and doors. You should also always keep a working flashlight within easy reach and consider investing in a battery-powered weather radio so you’ll be prepared for a weather emergency. We don’t get many “White Christmases” in The Natural State, but you can always count on at least a few ice storms and weather-related power outages each winter. But what if we told you that you no longer have to “grin and bear it” when the power goes out?
There’s nothing more exciting than buying a new home, and it’s the single most important investment you’ll ever make! The average homeowner looks at eight or more properties before making an offer, and you owe it to yourself to leave no stone unturned to find the most suitable home for your family’s needs and budget. But it’s a good bet that your “new to you” home needs a few electrical safety upgrades, and our team at Gary Houston Electric is here to help!
Most small businesses cannot compete with big box stores and online retailers when it comes to offering the lowest prices, nor should they try! People still love to shop, and it’s a much better idea to find creative ways to add value to your products and services; if you can successfully create a comfortable and inviting shopping experience, your customers will seek you out, stay longer, and spend more!
Most Arkansans spend the whole summer complaining about the heat and talking about how ready they are for cold weather. They also complain just as much about winter weather, particularly when their utility bills skyrocket! But winter weather is coming, like it or not, and this is a great time to ensure you’re properly prepared. Our team at Gary Houston Electric is always a phone call away when you need us this winter, and we also offer in-home energy efficiency audits to help you find ways to reduce your energy consumption without sacrificing your family’s comfort!
Owning and operating a small business is highly rewarding, but keeping the doors open is a constant struggle for the first few years. When Gary Houston Electric opened in 1978, we knew our survival would depend on consistently offering quality work at fair prices and backing it up with the best customer service in central Arkansas. We owe our ongoing success and longevity to plenty of repeat and referral business, and we’re always a phone call away when you need us!
