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.
When you need quality electrical service, you have a lot of choices of residential and commercial electricians, and finding the one that’s the right fit can be a daunting task. You should always request bids from multiple contractors and see how they compare. You should also never be afraid to ask questions, particularly if a bid comes in substantially lower than the others: what corners are they prepared to cut to offer you that rock bottom price?
We’ve sprung forward, and the daffodils are in bloom: it must be springtime! After the punishingly cold winter that we just had, Arkansans are all breathing a sigh of relief as the days start to get longer, and the sun sits high in the sky.
We’ve got another Arkansas Winter bearing down on us, and power outages are inevitable when temperatures drop, especially when we get a significant snow or ice event.
There are many places in the world that are well known for their extreme weather during certain times of year. Whether you’re dealing with Nor’ easters in New England, Monsoons in Mumbai, or Tsunamis in Tokyo, there are always certain times of year when the locals watch the weather forecast with nervousness, and wonder if they’re going to be lucky enough to once again escape Mother Nature’s wrath.

Electricity is a convenience that we all enjoy, and it’s hard to believe that it’s only been common in homes for about a century. There are some inherent risks if electricity is used improperly, but most of us generally understand how to use it safely.
