Your home is a special place, but you’re probably always looking for new ways to make it a little more comfortable. Whether it’s adding a tile backsplash in your kitchen, getting a new set of drapes, or simply making sure to keep the lawn mowed, you take pride in your home, and owe it to yourself and your family to continue making improvements. Unfortunately, many of your ideas might feel a bit too expensive or ambitious for now, and you might not know where to start!

The good news is that our team at Gary Houston Electric is here to help! We’re proud to consistently be recognized as one of the top electrical contractors in Arkansas by numerous reader’s polls, and we’ve been providing home and business lighting solutions throughout central Arkansas for the past four decades! We’re always a phone call away when you want to schedule an in-home consultation, and encourage you to consider the following ideas to improve your home at value prices:

Use recessed and track lighting to create ambience-In your kitchen and main living areas, it’s important to have some flexibility. Most of us spend our whole day under bright fluorescent lights, so it’s nice to have something a bit more subdued while unwinding at night. Installing dimmable, indirect lighting is a great way to always make sure that you have as much (or as little) light as you need.

Light up your patio for outdoor activities-Most homes have floodlights installed on the front and back porch, but why stop there? If you enjoy entertaining guests, we can help you design a lighting package for your deck or patio that will help you create great memories all night long!

Upgrade to LED bulbs for energy savings-If you haven’t upgraded your home lighting to LED, what’s stopping you? LED bulbs provide the same amount of light at a lower wattage, last for up to five years, and keep getting more affordable.

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