It’s the worst nightmare of a homeowner: To wake up in the middle of the night to the popping of electrical wires and the smell of burned insulation, and to have no idea where you left the flashlight.
Today’s modern homes and businesses are more dependent upon electricity than ever. So, whether at home or at work, dependable electrical connections should be as simple as flipping a switch.
Arkansas has some of the most unpredictable weather in the US. Especially when winter has arrived. One minute there’s a slight but bearable chill, and the next minute it’s below freezing, and you’re opening every cabinet in the house so the heat can keep your pipes warm.
One of the biggest challenges commercial construction project managers face is staying on schedule.
Many factors can cause delays. Some you can’t control, such as weather, fires, natural disasters – you get the idea. Others you can, like which electrical contractor you hire.
With Gary Houston Electric Company (GHEC), rest assured your projects will be completed on time – every time. During our 35 years in the industry we have mastered every aspect of the trade in order to provide the best in commercial service.
The only electrical issue that should be on your mind this holiday season, is how much time you have left to see all the Christmas lights. However with every winter, power outages are inevitable. While some are a mild inconvenience, others can be threatening. Keeping the lights on when the frost begins to settle is won’t just keep you feeling toasty, it could keep you alive.
The Gary Houston Electric Company (GHEC) has been serving the Central Arkansas area for almost 40 years and during that time, we’ve made sure that our client’s yuletide season is a bright and warm one. Our line of time and harsh weather tested KOHLER generators have proven themselves year after year. And they make for great gifts the whole family can enjoy (and maybe a few neighbors if Mother Nature gets a little too icy).
In addition to frustration that accompanies power outages, those that occur during winter can be particularly tricky – sometimes downright dangerous. And that applies to safety and revenue.
While most are inconvenienced to some degree when the power goes out, businesses in particular potentially stand to lose more. For example, while the safety of a few could be at stake during a freezing winter storm at a residence, the same could be true for tens, hundreds, or even thousands of people trapped at a business during a blizzard.
When preparing to launch any new business, owners have a million things to do in preparation for the big day. Of course, if constructing a new building or even renovating an old one, the actual facility is likely to remain top of mind even up until opening.
With experienced commercial electric lighting contractors like Gary Houston Electric Company (GHEC) backing you, lighting is at least one thing you can check off your list. Not only that, you’ll have peace of mind knowing the job will be done to your satisfaction, as we have done the same for commercial clients throughout Central Arkansas for almost 40 years.
If you’re about to begin construction of a new building or plan to upgrade your existing company’s building, it is vital to plan for the future.
There are several aspects of successful business plans that incorporate “future-proofing,” like planning for future financial growth or new product development. But for our purposes, we’ll focus on the significance of a well-planned electrical design.
Most Arkansans have been without electricity at some point (OK, probably many times). Because we are “The Natural State,” there are plenty of trees to knock out power lines, and plenty of stormy weather to facilitate these occurrences – particularly within the last year.
Mother Nature’s wrath became apparent as many went without power – some suffering much greater losses – after a devastating tornado tore a path from Paron to Vilonia in April. We endured a particularly rough winter as well, with some having to go without power several times.
Whether updating the lighting in your existing home or planning the installation for your dream home, modern technology and design offers a plethora of innovative concepts for creating brilliant and practical spaces with light. And with quality lighting installation, you’ll be equally amazed at how much proper residential lighting will improve both your home – and your wallet, by achieving higher energy efficiency.
Gary Houston Electric Company (GHEC) continues to earn its reputation as the right choice for residential lighting in Little Rock, AR and surrounding areas, as well as any other electrical work, including commercial jobs.
If you’re about to embark on an electrician search to complete a repair or other electrical project for your home, choosing an experienced, professional electrician is crucial. Your decision ultimately could mean the difference between a job well done and your worst nightmare, particularly if you need complete electrical wiring for a new home or a major renovation.
