After the year that we’ve all had, there’s nothing quite like being able to spend some quality time at home with the family. It’s going to take much more than a global pandemic to ruin our lives, and it all starts with being safe and responsible when we go out. But pandemic or not, we spend a lot of time at home, and we owe it to ourselves and our families to make sure that they are always safe and comfortable.
Our team at Gary Houston Electric is staffed with the most experienced and customer focused electricians in Arkansas, and we’re always a phone call away if you have an electrical emergency (Note: if you have a serious emergency that puts you or your family in immediate danger, be sure to leave the home and call 911 first).
Arkansas is definitely no stranger to seasonal weather extremes. It doesn’t seem that long ago since we were all complaining about how cold that it was, but we’ll soon be complaining about triple digit temperatures and 90% humidity. Not to mention those springtime storms that create massive power outages.
Even though this spring has been relatively mild so far, we all know that we rarely make it all the way through summer without several bouts of severe weather. How can we prepare ourselves?
Even though The Natural State is well-known for scenic beauty, it’s definitely no stranger to extreme weather year round. Most of the time it’s just a heavy storm, but sometimes it’s much worse than that, and can often mean prolonged power losses.
Since 1978, homeowners and business owners have placed their trust in our team of professional electricians at Gary Houston Electric. We are a full service company that can help you with new construction or renovations, and we also offer lighting design services to help create an inviting home or retail business. We know that reputations take a lifetime to earn, and one upset customer to lose. That’s why we protect ours at all costs!
Even though there are many people who love DIY projects and consider themselves “handy,” there are many more people who really struggle to perform basic maintenance tasks around the home. Whatever the case, when it comes to electrical work, there’s nothing like working with professional residential service contractors to make sure that the job is done right!
Homeowners and business owners are always looking for ways to make affordable upgrades, and the good news is that creativity is much more important than money. A fresh coat of paint and a couple of new pieces of furniture will often do the trick. And don’t forget to also consider making some lighting upgrades!
No matter what time of year that it is, you’re probably always looking for ways to save on electrical bills. Whether it’s high electric bills in the summer, or high gas bills in the winter, we can all agree that it would be nice to have a little relief. The good news is that there are many cost-effective ways to lower your energy costs significantly over time.
Summers in Arkansas can be punishingly hot, and the summer of 2019 was no exception. But in a few short weeks, we’ll be complaining about how cold it is outside. We might not get a lot of snow each winter, but ice storms are very common. Is your home prepared for an extended power outage?
