One of the difficult realities that we all face as homeowners is long-term maintenance. No matter how well that your home was built, over time it will require a fresh coat of paint, new appliances, and other repairs. Some are quick and easy, some can be unexpected and costly. Fortunately, routine preventative maintenance can help you manage costs in the short term, and prepare more effectively for bigger long term expenses.

Our team at Gary Houston Electric includes the most experienced and customer-focused electricians in Arkansas, and we’re always a phone call away when you need a licensed electrician. We’re a full service company, and every member of our team is prepared to do whatever it takes to earn your repeat business. No job is too big or too small, and we’re ready to help you with any of the following services for your home:

Wiring-If you own an older home, you owe it to yourself to have the wiring inspected at least every 25 years, or sooner if you have any issues. Newer wiring is much more safe and durable than older wiring, which might have brittle insulation. If you have any nonfunctional plugs or switches, you owe it to yourself and your family to make sure that they don’t present any long-term risk.

Lighting design-One of the most cost-effective home improvements that you can make is to upgrade your home lighting. We can help you install recessed and track lighting, outdoor lighting, and dimmer switches to help you have as much, or as little light as you want at any time!

Energy efficiency improvements-Energy costs continue to rise each year, and we can often find ways to help you lower your monthly bills. Replacing your household light bulbs with LED bulbs and installing a programmable thermostat is a great place to start, and we’re always happy to make a site visit and offer specific recommendations for your home.

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