Thanks to the internet and cable television, today’s homeowners are literally inundated with home improvement ideas, with a big emphasis on DIY projects. But the reality is that some people are handier than others, and those anticipated savings can disappear very quickly when homeowners bite off more than they can chew, and are forced to pay a contractor to fix botched DIY work.
Whether you’re building a new home business or remodeling an existing one, you owe it to yourself to insist on quality work from your commercial electrical contractors. There are many commercial electricians out there, so how do you know you are getting the best?
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.
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!

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.
Since 1978, central Arkansas business owners have been turning to Gary Houston Electric for their commercial electrical services, and we’re very proud of the large amount of repeat and referral business that we’ve developed over the past 4 decades. We know that there are many quality commercial electrical contractors to choose from, and we never take any job or client for granted.
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.
