All families are forced to deal with rising energy costs, and the only way to fight back is to reduce your consumption. That’s easier said than done when you’re facing triple-digit temperatures and you live in a house full of electrical appliances, but it’s easier than you think to save money without sacrificing your family’s comfort.
Today’s real estate market is red hot, but it’s important to buy a house that you can afford. The good news is that a seasoned real estate agent can help you make a smart buy on numerous “fixer-uppers” in your price range. Even if the home is move-in ready, it might still need some work! Your home’s electrical wiring needs to be replaced every 25 years, and you might also need to replace a few older electrical outlets to keep your family safe.
Whether you’re interested in building a new home, remodeling, or making sure that your older home meets all of the current electrical safety standards, our team at Gary Houston Electric is here to help. We’ve been central Arkansas’ most trusted residential and commercial electrician since 1978, and we have hundreds of combined years of experience.
Power outages are happening a lot more frequently these days, and they’re not just something that happens during severe weather. The utility companies struggle to meet their customers’ energy demands during peak season, and customers in rural areas frequently experience outages that last for weeks after natural disasters. An emergency backup generator is a great way to ensure that you’ll have steady access to power no matter what happens, and it’s much more affordable than you think!
If you recently purchased an older home, you owe it to yourself to have the wiring inspected before you move in. Home wiring needs to be replaced about every 25 years, or sooner if its insulation has become brittle or cracked. There are also several simple things that you can do to improve your current home’s electrical safety and energy efficiency. It’s quick and easy, and our team at Gary Houston Electric is here to help you get started! We’ve been Arkansas’ most trusted residential and commercial electrical contractor since 1978, and we offer in-home safety inspections by appointment.

Arkansas is well-known for its seasonal weather extremes, and power outages are frighteningly common when Mother Nature does her worst. Our utility companies do their best to restore power to affected areas, but that’s little comfort for families who experience lengthy outages after severe weather events. Outages are an inconvenience for everyone and they’re a far more serious matter for the elderly and individuals who require power to run their CPAP machines and other medical equipment. The good news is that a Kohler Emergency generator is more affordable than you think!
