The risk of an electrical fire is also now lower than it’s ever been, but you still owe it to yourself to make sure that your home is completely safe. That’s where we come in!
When it comes to home improvement projects, it’s always important to get the most “bang for your buck!” Most of us have limited budgets to work with, and often only a few days to work at a time. The good news is that upgrading your home lighting design is one of the most affordable ways to make a big impact right away!
Arkansas homeowners are no stranger to rising energy costs, and there seems to be no end in sight! We’re all at the mercy of our utility providers, and the only reliable way that we can fight back is to find ways to lower our energy consumption. No two homes are ever quite the same, but most homes have plenty of areas that need improvement. Even newly constructed homes often need some tightening up, especially if the builders were under pressure to build a lot of homes quickly in a new subdivision!
Gary Houston Electric has been central Arkansas’ most trusted residential and commercial electrician since 1978, and our team of experienced electricians are always a phone call away when you need emergency electrical services, or if you’d like to schedule a free in-home energy audit. Helping our customers keep their homes safe is our top priority, and we also enjoy finding ways to help them lower their monthly bills!
Kohler recently celebrated its centennial for providing emergency power. In 1920, the Kohler Automatic Power and Light standby generator was created to meet the needs of American Agriculture. A century later, you’ll find Kohler Generators standing by to provide emergency power everywhere you go. Hospitals use them to ensure that their patients get the best possible care no matter what’s happening outside. Police departments, fire departments and first responders rely on Kohler generators to keep the lights on and stay in communication with agents in the field.
They sure don’t build homes like they used to! Our cities and suburbs are full of newly built homes full of modern conveniences, and if you don’t mind a little longer morning commute you can buy a lot of land as well. But some of us are a lot more traditional and have always dreamed of buying and restoring an older home. The American “city center” is making a big comeback, and you can find some amazing deals on beautiful homes that were built long ago. The caveat is that you can often expect to have your work cut out for you to make the home comfortable and safe.
Winter weather inspires many different reactions from people in the Natural State. Some people get frustrated by their fellow drivers and complain about the sudden shortages of bread and milk at the grocery store, but many people are just excited about the rare chance to play in the snow. Whatever the situation, we can all definitely agree that the best way to enjoy a good snowstorm is through the windows as you sit in your warm home with a good book and a cup of piping hot coffee. The last thing you want is to have to deal with a power outage!
2020 was one of the most challenging years in recorded history, and most small businesses struggled to adapt to the new culture of social distancing and heightened cleanliness protocols. Businesses had to adopt new procedures, and take a look at the workplace itself.
There aren’t too many things in this world more inconvenient than a power failure. We count on electricity for so many things around the house, and when we lose power due to Arkansas’ extreme seasonal weather it’s always very inconvenient. And for people who need to have electricity to power life-saving medical equipment, it can often even be a matter of life and death.
You simply don’t know when you’re going to have an electrical emergency. Some are more predictable than others, but when they do happen, you need to deal with them immediately. Whether it’s restoring power after seasonal weather extremes or making sure that your older home is safe when you move in, our team at Gary Houston Electric is always here to help!
