If there’s anything that we’ve learned from some of our more recent natural disasters, it’s that our local utility companies often find themselves playing “catch-up” during large scale power outages. They’re doing the best that they can, but it can often be days before power is fully restored to homes and businesses. Customers in rural areas often have it much worse. Power outages are definitely inconvenient for all of us, but sometimes the stakes are higher than losing a freezer full of leftovers. Some people require power to run medical equipment, and an extended outage could literally be a matter of life or death!

Gary Houston Electric has been Arkansas’ favorite and best reviewed residential and commercial electrician for the past four decades and counting, and we’re proud to also be the top supplier and installer of Kohler Emergency generators. Kohler offers a wide selection of emergency backup generators, and we’ll help you select the right model for your home or small business. When the generator detects an outage, it immediately begins operation and restores power in seconds.

Kohler emergency generators are not the same thing as those noisy gasoline powered generators that you’ve seen at the tailgate party or RV park. They are powered by natural gas, and operate cleanly and quietly. They’re also easy to maintain. All that you have to do is test them once a month, and you’ll be ready!

Even if you don’t need electricity to power life-saving medical equipment, extended outages are far too common for many of us. A small investment in a backup generator is a great way to enjoy true peace of mind, and our team of experts are always a phone call or mouse click away when you need help making an informed decision!

If you have any questions, or would like to schedule service, contact us online or give us a call at 501-375-8330.
