Gary Houston Electric offers emergency electrical services around the clock!
Even though we get so used to it that we tend to take it for granted, it’s great to have electricity in our homes. After all, it keeps our families comfortable, fed, and entertained. Even short power outages are a real inconvenience, but what happens when you have an electrical emergency? Do you know when to call an electrician? The answer is any time that you feel that your family is at risk. The modest expense of an emergency electrician is a small price to pay to keep your home and family safe.
Keep the lights on with a Kohler generator, no matter how bad that the weather is outside!
Even though this current Arkansas winter has been relatively mild so far, we all know that we’re always at risk of a sudden cold snap, snowfall, or ice storm. Some winters are more extreme than others, and we all know that when communities in central Arkansas experience mass power outages, it can take utility companies days (and sometimes weeks) to get services restored. It’s definitely an inconvenience for everyone, and for people that need power to run medical equipment, it’s much more serious than that.
Start the new year off with a safety inspection!
When it comes to household electrical safety, you owe it to yourself and your family to be proactive. Most newer homes are built to very strict safety standards, but older homes might not have been built to those same standards, and may need some updates. Whatever the case, it can be very dangerous to assume that you don’t have any problems. That’s why you need to call an electrician every few years to make sure that you’re doing everything that you can to prevent electrical fires, frequently tripped breakers, and other problems.
Remodeling or Adding On? Call Us!
We all take a lot of pride in our homes, and spend most of our time there. Unfortunately, sometimes our needs change from the time that we moved in, and we have to make a change. In many cases, our families start to get larger (and acquire more things), and we outgrow the space. Sometimes we decide to finally get around to making those renovations that we’ve talked about since the day that we moved in.
Protect Your Business From Power Outages with a Kohler generator!
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.
Three reasons to keep GHEC on speed dial
Any time that you need an electrician, it’s always important to make an informed decision. You owe it to yourself to find a company that does quality work, and does it quickly. It’s also extremely important to find a company with a solid reputation that you can trust to invite into your home, and won’t force you to call in someone later to fix their substandard work.

Your home is a special place, but you’re probably always looking for new ways to make it a little more comfortable. Whether it’s adding a tile backsplash in your kitchen, getting a new set of drapes, or simply making sure to keep the lawn mowed, you take pride in your home, and owe it to yourself and your family to continue making improvements. Unfortunately, many of your ideas might feel a bit too expensive or ambitious for now, and you might not know where to start!
Three tips for electrical safety in an older home
With the demand for housing at an all-time high, developers love “cookie cutter” homes because they’re quick and easy to build. But many homeowners still prefer to live in an older neighborhoods. There’s nothing like the craftsmanship, charm, and curb appeal that comes from a more traditional home, and like the old saying goes, they really don’t build them like they used to. Unfortunately, older homes weren’t subjected to the rigorous standards that must now be followed for new construction, and you can’t afford to assume that previous homeowners have made all of the necessary upgrades.
When you want true peace of mind, you can’t go wrong with a Kohler Generator!
With the exception of the times when the power goes out, and the times when we pay our electric bill, we tend to take it for granted that we can always flick a light switch and turn our lights on and off. Arkansas is no stranger to seasonal weather extremes, and frequent outages are a reality that we have to deal with a few times a year. But for some people, a power outage is a lot more than an inconvenience: imagine what would happen if a hospital lost its ability to keep life-saving medical equipment turned on, or if a police station lost its power during the middle of a major emergency!
