When preparing to launch any new business, owners have a million things to do in preparation for the big day. Of course, if constructing a new building or even renovating an old one, the actual facility is likely to remain top of mind even up until opening.

With experienced commercial electric lighting contractors like Gary Houston Electric Company (GHEC) backing you, lighting is at least one thing you can check off your list. Not only that, you’ll have peace of mind knowing the job will be done to your satisfaction, as we have done the same for commercial clients throughout Central Arkansas for almost 40 years.

Here are just a few benefits of comprehensive lighting designs:

1 They maximize value in several ways and have become critical in new buildings, major renovations, and lighting retrofits because they go beyond the scope of just replacing fixtures or lamps.

2 Lighting designers take a holistic approach when preparing your layout, along with a technology and controls method that takes several factors into consideration: aesthetics, integration with other systems, light levels suitable to appropriate applications and locations, uniformity, use of existing light, total operating cost, and more.

3 Proper design and installation maximizes energy savings while offering superior comfort, health, and productivity for you and your employees.

Fully licensed, bonded, and insured, GHEC certainly is not limited to being a commercial lighting company alone. Our crew is highly skilled in residential lighting, as well as virtually any other electrical service for your home or business.

So call today at 501-375-8330, or contact us online to get started planning your lighting design or other electrical project.
