As we begin another Arkansas summer, our HVAC systems are our best defense against triple-digit temperatures. But all it takes is one power outage to make you realize how easy it is to take electricity for granted! Utility companies do the best they can to ensure their customers have a steady supply of power at all times, but they consistently struggle to meet their customers’ energy demands in the summer. They’re also frequently forced to institute rolling blackouts during critical shortages. The good news is that Gary Houston Electric is Arkansas’ most trusted supplier of KOHLER emergency generators, and we’re ready to show just you how affordable year-round peace of mind can be!

A power outage is inconvenient for everyone but a much more serious problem for senior citizens or individuals who require a steady power supply for their CPAP machines or other life-saving medical equipment. Your KOHLER emergency generator can instantly detect a power outage, and it will restore power to the home in a matter of seconds. You’ll also be able to continue monitoring the forecast during severe weather events. You’ll no longer be at the mercy of your utility providers, and you’ll be able to keep the lights on no matter what happens outside.

KOHLER began developing small electrical generators for farmers in 1920, and they’re also the first company to emergency generators for homeowners. The “automatic power and light” generator was driven by a four-cylinder gasoline engine and offered 1,500 watts of DC power. Over a century later, KOHLER continues to be the top choice of homeowners and businesses worldwide. Today’s KOHLER emergency backup generators operate quietly using natural gas, and they’re nothing at all like the loud and smelly gas-powered generators of yesteryear. We’ll help you select a generator model that’s the right size for your home, and installation usually takes less than a full day. The only maintenance you’ll ever have to do is run the generator for a few minutes once a month, and your generator will be ready when disaster strikes!
