We never realize how much we take electricity for granted until our lights go out!! Mother Nature causes most of the outages we’re forced to deal with, and our utility providers often struggle to meet the increased demand for power in the summer when everyone runs their air conditioners on “full blast.” Power outages are inconvenient for everyone, and far more serious for the elderly or individuals who utilize life-saving medical equipment in their homes. The good news is that you no longer have to “grin and bear it” when the power goes out, and our team at Gary Houston Electric is ready to give you a no-obligation quote for a KOHLER generator!
