Buying a home is one of the most important decisions that most of us make in our lives. Most homeowners look at many properties before settling on the best one, and there’s nothing quite like having your offer accepted, and preparing for life at your new home. But no matter how perfect that the home was when you first moved in, you probably had some long-term plans to make some improvements. In many cases, the arrival of a new child or an aging relative makes a few upgrades necessary for comfort and convenience.

Whatever the case, our team at Gary Houston Electric is here to help! For the past four decades, we’ve been providing residential and commercial electrical construction services, and we’re always a phone call away when you have questions. We’ve been involved in thousands of home improvement projects over the years, and will be glad to work with you to help your renovations go smoothly. Here are a few things to think about as you make upgrades:

Energy Efficiency-Energy costs are at an all-time high, and can only be expected to go up. Sometimes, small improvements such as weatherstripping and a programmable thermostat can make a significant difference. We can make an onsite visit at any time, and make specific recommendations to help you lower your heating and cooling bills.

Decorative Lighting-When it comes to your kitchen, dining room, and living room, it’s always important to have options. Recessed lighting, sconce lighting, and track lighting are a great way to create soft, ambient light, and dimmer switches can help you choose how much (or how little) light that you want in each room!

Security Lighting-Home security systems are becoming increasingly more sophisticated, but sometimes all that you need to do is keep your hedges trimmed, and install a few floodlights with motion detectors. We can also help you create a great lighting package for your backyard deck or patio to help you secure your yard, and enjoy nighttime activities with your family and friends!

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