Arkansas summers aren’t getting any cooler, and our utility rates continue to increase year in and year out. The only sure-fire way to save money is to find ways to reduce your usage. The good news is that there are plenty of great ways to save money on your utility bills this summer without sacrificing your family’s comfort!
Gary Houston Electric opened for business over four decades ago, and we’re just as committed to doing great work at fair prices as we were when we opened our doors. We know that our customers have a lot of choices, and strive to earn as much repeat business as we can. We offer the full range and scope of residential and commercial electrical services in Arkansas, and we’re always a phone call away when you need electrical services.
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!
Electrical safety is no accident, and today’s home is now safer than ever thanks to modern circuit breakers and grounded electrical outlets. The risk of an electrical fire is also now lower than it’s ever been, but you still owe it to yourself to make sure that your home is completely safe. That’s where we come in!
When it comes to home improvement projects, it’s always important to get the most “bang for your buck!” Most of us have limited budgets to work with, and often only a few days to work at a time. The good news is that upgrading your home lighting design is one of the most affordable ways to make a big impact right away!
Arkansas homeowners are no stranger to rising energy costs, and there seems to be no end in sight! We’re all at the mercy of our utility providers, and the only reliable way that we can fight back is to find ways to lower our energy consumption. No two homes are ever quite the same, but most homes have plenty of areas that need improvement. Even newly constructed homes often need some tightening up, especially if the builders were under pressure to build a lot of homes quickly in a new subdivision!
Gary Houston Electric has been central Arkansas’ most trusted residential and commercial electrician since 1978, and our team of experienced electricians are always a phone call away when you need emergency electrical services, or if you’d like to schedule a free in-home energy audit. Helping our customers keep their homes safe is our top priority, and we also enjoy finding ways to help them lower their monthly bills!
Kohler recently celebrated its centennial for providing emergency power. In 1920, the Kohler Automatic Power and Light standby generator was created to meet the needs of American Agriculture. A century later, you’ll find Kohler Generators standing by to provide emergency power everywhere you go. Hospitals use them to ensure that their patients get the best possible care no matter what’s happening outside. Police departments, fire departments and first responders rely on Kohler generators to keep the lights on and stay in communication with agents in the field.
They sure don’t build homes like they used to! Our cities and suburbs are full of newly built homes full of modern conveniences, and if you don’t mind a little longer morning commute you can buy a lot of land as well. But some of us are a lot more traditional and have always dreamed of buying and restoring an older home. The American “city center” is making a big comeback, and you can find some amazing deals on beautiful homes that were built long ago. The caveat is that you can often expect to have your work cut out for you to make the home comfortable and safe.
Winter weather inspires many different reactions from people in the Natural State. Some people get frustrated by their fellow drivers and complain about the sudden shortages of bread and milk at the grocery store, but many people are just excited about the rare chance to play in the snow. Whatever the situation, we can all definitely agree that the best way to enjoy a good snowstorm is through the windows as you sit in your warm home with a good book and a cup of piping hot coffee. The last thing you want is to have to deal with a power outage!
