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.
Know Your Limits For DIY Projects
At Gary Houston Electric Company, we love a good do-it-yourself project, and understand the sense of accomplishment that you get from knowing you’ve improved your home using your own two hands and a little know-how. We get that. But we do caution people tackling DIY projects that involve electricity to KNOW YOUR LIMITS.
Don’t Let Poor Electrical Design Short Circuit Your Business
Business owners have plenty of things to worry about during an average workday. Between communicating with employees, managing finances, and generating new business, the last thing that they need to do is to worry about the logistics of the office’s electrical design. That’s why they need to find an electrical contractor who will set them up for success.
With Quality Lighting Design by GHEC Your Home’s Lighting Can Illuminate Your Personality
Interior design and decorating might seem like hard work to some people, but the truth is that it’s mostly a series of decisions. You start by deciding on a budget, and spend the rest of your time deciding on what paint, floor coverings and window treatments will work best within that budget. Ultimately, in addition to being comfortable and tastefully decorated, your home should be a reflection of your personality!
Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas from Gary Houston
