Whether it’s the middle of the night or the middle of the playoffs, there’s never a good time for the power to go out, which is why most people regard a power outage as an emergency. If the cause is a lightning strike, an overheated circuit, or an animal chewing on the wiring, your first priority is to make sure there is no danger to lives or property. If you smell smoke or see flames, get out immediately and call the fire department.

Looking for new ways to grow your business? Don’t forget your lighting design!
As a business owner, it’s very important to find creative ways to get people to walk in your front door, stay in your store longer, and hopefully spend more. A prime location is an important first step, as is a quality product or service. But did you know that a one-time investment in quality lighting design can practically pay for itself in terms of new business and customers’ length of stay? It’s true!

When Mother Nature does her worst, you can count on Kohler!
Summer is winding down, and it won’t be long before we’re in the middle of another brutal winter. As any Arkansan will tell you, we live in a place that is certainly no stranger to extreme weather, and with it comes the inevitable power outages. They’re certainly inconvenient for everyone, but for the elderly and for people who need power for medical equipment, they can sometimes be a matter of life and death!

We’ve all been there. Something electrical goes haywire and the lights go out. Or the refrigerator conks out. Or something-or-other hits a snag and you’re faced with an electrical repair. You must then decide whether to call an electrician or repair it yourself.

Follow These Guidelines and Make DIY Safety a Priority
As a homeowner, a little technical know-how goes a long way. Some people are handier than others, but there are some common household repairs that you can learn how to do on your own. No matter what kind of repair work that you’re doing, you should always make safety your first priority! Don’t get in over your head, and don’t be too proud to ask for professional advice.
When Nature Does Her Worst, Call Gary Houston First!
In Arkansas, Mother Nature can be unforgiving at times. The Natural State is no stranger to tornadoes, tropical storms, blizzards, heatwaves, and droughts. If there’s a weather extreme to be had, we get it sooner or later.
Where Will You Be When the Lights go Out?
Electricity has only been widely available for a little over a century, but it’s truly amazing how much that we’ve come to depend on it for our safety, comfort, and recreation. It’s equally amazing how inconvenient that most of us find it when the power goes out, even if only for a couple of hours. And for some people, a power outage is a great deal more serious, particularly if they need to operate life-saving medical equipment.
