Having electricity in our homes is a modern convenience that most of us take for granted until there’s a power outage, but the truth is that it’s one of the most important parts of virtually every aspect of our lives. We use it to heat and cool our homes, prepare food, power up appliances, and keep all of our electronic devices running. Another thing that we often take for granted is electrical safety! Our homes have circuit breakers to protect us from dangerous electrical overloads and power surges, but, it’s also important for us to take all the necessary precautions to protect ourselves and our families from accidents.
An attractive, well-lit storefront is an important part of growing your business. For starters, prospective customers need to be able to find your store. And once they get inside, quality lighting design can have a serious impact on the customers’ length of stay, and the products that they purchase.
As we begin another brutal Arkansas summer, most of us are torn between setting the thermostat at a comfortable temperature, or trying to save money on our electric bills. But what if we told you that there are other ways to lower energy costs without sweating all summer long?
There’s no doubt about how convenient that our lives have become, thanks to electricity, and it has certainly improved the quality of our lives. Most of us use it wisely, and most newly constructed homes are built to very rigorous safety standards. But that doesn’t mean that emergencies don’t happen, and you owe it to yourself and your family to be prepared!

There are two times of year that homeowners and businesses really get to thinking about the high cost of energy. During the winter, your heating costs can skyrocket. And our summers keep getting longer and longer which means triple digit temperatures, and triple digit electric bills. The good news is that if you take a proactive approach to cutting energy costs around your home or business, you can often find small, but significant ways to lower your bills.
Spring is here, which means spring storms, severe weather, and power outages. A power outage is never convenient, and can sometimes even be life-threatening. That’s why many Arkansans choose to stay prepared by investing in an emergency generator.
