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!

There are many reasons why homeowners choose to make renovations. Sometimes, they buy a “fixer-upper” in a great neighborhood and make small upgrades as their budget allows. Sometimes, the home doesn’t quite fit their needs like it once did, and they seek to make some big changes to accommodate a growing family. And if you’re relocating for a new career opportunity, a few quick updates can substantially boost your home’s resale value. Whatever your situation, our team at Gary Houston Electric is here to help!

We’ve all grown so accustomed to the convenience of electricity that we often take it for granted until the power goes out! But severe weather events occur year-round in Arkansas, and it’s not uncommon for outages to last several days each time that tornadoes and severe thunderstorms ravage one of our communities. But if you don’t feel like waiting out the utility companies as they struggle to restore power, you don’t have to! KOHLER emergency generators are capable of restoring power to your home or business in a matter of seconds, and they’re more affordable than you think!

When people say, “They don’t build homes like they used to,” it’s usually in response to seeing new subdivisions full of cookie-cutter tract homes. Modern homes can now be constructed more durably and inexpensively than homes of yesteryear, but many bold homeowners choose to purchase and restore older homes as a “labor of love.” And even if your home was constructed more recently, it’s a good bet you had several upgrades in mind when you made the initial offer. If you haven’t gotten around to those upgrades yet, our team at Gary Houston Electric is here to help!

Inflation rates haven’t been this high in decades, and the spending power of a dollar certainly isn’t what it used to be! Whether we’re buying groceries, household goods, or gasoline, there seems to be no end in sight to these higher prices. Utility providers also operate monopolies with the authority to increase rates as they see fit. The only option homeowners have to lower their bills is reducing their energy consumption, but that’s often easier said than done. The good news is that our team at Gary Houston Electric is always a phone call away, and we love helping our customers save money!

There’s no better place to be than The Natural State on a calm, clear day, but every Arkansan is familiar with our seasonal weather extremes, as well as the threat of thunderstorms, flash floods, and tornadoes throughout the year. Hundreds of central Arkansas homeowners are still rebuilding after 2023’s F3 tornado 2023, and the Northwest Arkansas community of Rogers is currently in a state of emergency after an F2 tornado struck a few short weeks ago. Weather-related power outages can last for weeks, particularly in suburban and rural areas, and they’re inconvenient for everyone. But for senior citizens, families with small children, and individuals who use CPAP machines and other medical devices, they’re far more serious. The good news is that a KOHLER emergency backup generator is more affordable than you think, and our team at Gary Houston Electric is ready to give you a no-obligation quote!

Whether the place you live is your first home, your “forever home,” or simply a temporary residence while you save up for your next big move, keeping your family safe and comfortable will always be your top priority! Our team at Gary Houston Electric is just a phone call away when you want to schedule an in-home electrical safety inspection, and we also love helping Arkansans find ways to lower their energy bills!

If you purchased an older home, you probably had a few home decor updates in mind when you made your offer. If you own a custom-built home, it’s also perfectly natural to grow weary of something you loved a few short years ago. But, when it’s time to make a change, be sure to include your home lighting design in your plans!

Spring has sprung in Arkansas, and summer isn’t far away! Most families look forward to spending more time outdoors or taking their children on a much-needed vacation, but don’t look forward to triple-digit outdoor temperatures and utility bills! But lowering your bills is easier than you think, and our team at Gary Houston Electric is always a phone call away when you’re ready to get started!
