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.

Central Arkansas is home to many highly qualified electrical contractors, which is always great news for the consumer. Competition keeps prices affordable, and every company that you contact knows that you can pick up the phone and can easily get more estimates.

When it comes to selecting a residential electrical company, you might ask “are there any quality electricians near me?” The answer is yes!

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.
Your income tax refund was a little larger than you expected, and you’ve made the decision to take that money and spruce up your home. You’ve wanted to do so many things around the house, and it may be a little intimidating trying to decide where to start.
Winter has almost run its course, but lifelong Arkansans know quite well that Mother Nature’s wrath knows no season. Winter brings bitter cold temperature and the occasional ice storm, which can wreak havoc. Springtime brings the threat of heavy rains, high winds, hail, and tornadoes that often result in heavy, localized damage. High summer temperatures bring the constant threat of power outages as air conditioning units run full blast trying to cope, and with fall comes the secondary severe weather season, that is no less treacherous.
