During certain times of year, Arkansas weather can be particularly cruel. Every summer, we’re subjected to triple digit temperatures, every winter, we get a little snow and a lot of ice, and we have severe thunderstorms all year long. What this means for homes and businesses is the regular threat of unexpected power outages. The utility companies do everything that they can to respond quickly to interruptions in service, but during emergencies, they can get short-handed, causing power outages that can often last for several days.

The good news is that Gary Houston Electric is here to help, and since 1978, we’ve been Arkansas’ top commercial electrician. Little Rock business owners depend on keeping the lights on to serve their customers, and the longer that their power is off, the more that they stand to lose. Restaurants can lose frozen inventory, emergency responders lose their ability to respond quickly and effectively, and for hospitals and health care facilities, long term power losses can literally be a matter of life or death. But since 1920, Kohler has been providing quality emergency generators to help keep homes and businesses powered up. GHEC is proud to be Arkansas’ leading supplier and installer of Kohler generators, and we’re always a phone call away when you’re ready to enjoy true peace of mind.

The way that your emergency generator works is simple: as soon as it detects a power loss, it gets to work in a matter of seconds. You might need to reset the clock on your microwave oven, but you won’t have to sit in a cold, dark room for hours (or days) wondering when the utility providers are going to get to you. And, unlike the noisy gasoline powered generators that you’ve seen at the RV park or the tailgate party, your emergency backup generator is powered cleanly and quietly by natural gas.

As a small business owner, you might think that an emergency generator is something that you don’t need, or can’t afford, but you do, and you can! Kohler offers generators to fit any budget, and they’re a modest investment to ensure the peace of mind that comes from being prepared for anything! If you have any questions, or would like to schedule a consultation, contact us online, or give us a call at 501-375-8330.
