Light The Way For New Business!
No matter how large or small that your business is, it’s important to have a storefront that will attract customers and invite them inside. And once you get them through the front door, a retail space that is comfortable and inviting will encourage customers to stay longer and spend more.

Keep Your Home or Business Going With a Kohler Generator!
Power outages are definitely inconvenient for everyone, but for some people, it’s a more serious problem than stumbling around in the dark for a few hours. If you are in the restaurant business, an extended power outage could cost you thousands of dollars worth of inventory. And if you require life-saving medical equipment, a power outage can literally be a matter of life or death.
Searching for a Residential Electrical Contractor?
How many times have you said to yourself, “If I had a dime for every time I’ve wished for an electrician near me can count on for all my projects?’ only to come up short time and time again because of work that won’t stand up, low-ball estimates that somehow start climbing as soon as the job is started, or other complications?
It’s a common homeowner frustration, feeling like you have to go to the ends of the earth just to find qualified people to perform needed work, but the reality is you don’t have to go far at all for professional, top quality electrical services from a residential electric company.

Need a Lighting Designer for Your Home Interior or Exterior?
When planning your home’s lighting, whether for new construction or a remodeling project, there’s more to it than pulling wire and stringing light bulbs, or at least there is if you want to get the most out of your lighting. As the incandescent light bulb is gradually phased out, your primary lighting choices are halogen, CFL, and LED, each with its own advantages and disadvantages relating to cost, longevity and durability.
Beyond that, the lighting choices you make in your home provide more than light to see by. Lighting can be used to set a mood, provide atmosphere and ambiance, or to draw the eye by highlighting certain features or areas. For outside areas as well as inside, you want to make sure you get the proper light placement with appropriate intensity, and options to incorporate remote control, timers, light sensors, and dimmers.
Five Qualities of the Best Electrical Contractors
When you are looking for a qualified electrical contractor there are a number of important considerations. At Gary Houston Electric Company, we believe five qualities are absolute must-haves in commercial electricians and residential electricians alike:
LED Lighting: Impress the Best
Like many “new” technologies, LED (light emitting diode) lighting has been around for quite a long time, since 1907 in fact. At least, the theory was developed in 1907, and the first patent was issued in 1962. As far back as the late 1960s, red LED indicators were began showing up in expensive calculators and wristwatches, only to be replaced by the cheaper LCD (liquid crystal display) technology.
Fast-forward to 2015 and LED lighting is showing up everywhere! No, it hasn’t been put back into calculators and wristwatches, but virtually every incandescent lighting application now has a more efficient LED counterpart, from traffic signals to automotive lighting to the interior and exterior of our homes and businesses.
