In Arkansas, Mother Nature can be unforgiving at times. The Natural State is no stranger to tornadoes, tropical storms, blizzards, heatwaves, and droughts. If there’s a weather extreme to be had, we get it sooner or later.

At Gary Houston Electric Company, emergency electrical services are a big part of what we do, especially during extreme weather. After all, it’s not hard to know when to call an electrician in some circumstances, and when you make the call, we’ll be there in a flash!

Any type of severe weather is inconvenient, but two of the biggest headaches for Arkansas residents are ice storms and thunderstorms. Both happen frequently, and both tend to leave large-scale power outages in their wake. After a severe weather event, if you need an emergency electrician, Gary Houston has the best in the business. Every member of our team is highly trained and professional, and their mission is to get your power back on safely and quickly, and to make sure that all of your questions are answered.

And if you want to be sure that you’ll never be left in the dark again, Gary Houston is Arkansas’ leading Kohler generator dealer, and we can recommend and install a generator that will meet your needs. Kohler offers generators that fit every lifestyle and budget, and you’ll always have reliable power restoration as soon as you experience an outage.

When Mother Nature does her worst, Gary Houston Electric is always in your corner! If you have any questions, or want to schedule a service call, contact us at 501-375-8330, or online.
