All Arkansans know that during the spring, a beautiful sunny day can suddenly turn into a raging flash flood, and in some cases, much worse. Fortunately, most of us have enough experience with severe weather to take the appropriate safety precautions to protect our families when disaster strikes. But are you sure that you’re doing enough?

Our team at Gary Houston Electric Company is here to help you weather any storm. We’re a full-service team of residential and commercial electricians, and we’ve been proudly serving Arkansas since 1978. Here’s a look at some of the services that we offer to help you deal with Arkansas’s seasonal weather extremes:

Safety Inspections – One often overlooked aspect of severe weather preparedness is protecting your household electrical systems and electronic appliances from lightning-related voltage spikes, or surges of voltage that often accompany a restoration of power. Lightning doesn’t have to directly strike your home to cause thousands of dollars’ worth of damage, and many homeowners may be incorrectly assuming that the power strips that they’re using offer sufficient surge protection to protect their appliances. We can send a technician to your home to make sure that your wiring is current and up to code, and we can also help you protect your household appliances from power-surge related damage.

Emergency Electrical Services – There’s never a convenient time for an emergency, and our team is committed to keeping the members of our community safe, even under the worst of circumstances. You can call us 24 hours a day, and we’ll dispatch an emergency electrician right away.

Kohler backup generators – We’re proud to be an authorized Kohler generator dealer, and ready to show you just how affordable that peace of mind can be. Power outages are inconvenient for everyone, but in the case of people who need constant power to run their medical equipment, it can literally be a matter of life and death. There’s a Kohler generator to fit any budget, and you’ll love the convenience of having your power restored in a matter of seconds after any outage.

There’s not much that we can do about the weather besides get prepared, and that’s exactly what our team at GHEC is here to help you do. Schedule your service consultation here, or give us a call at (501) 375-8330 if you have any questions.
