Summertime is officially in our rearview mirror, and we’re in store for a few short weeks of nearly perfect weather before we’re forced to deal with freezing temperatures in The Natural State! Many older homes are challenging to keep warm when the mercury drops, and newly built homes often have a few energy efficiency issues that need to be addressed immediately.

They certainly don’t build homes like they used to, but you should always proceed with caution before making an offer on a bargain-priced “fixer-upper.” The restoration costs for older homes are often much higher than you think, and you should always know your own limitations before attempting any DIY projects. There’s no shame in leaving the tough jobs to the pros, and our team at Gary Houston Electric is here to help you keep your home renovations on schedule and within budget!

Modern technology has improved the quality of our lives in immeasurable ways, and a 2024 Consumer Affairs article reported that U.S. households had, on average, 21 connected devices. Unfortunately, those devices are useless without electricity, and we never know how long it will take for our power to be restored when Mother Nature does her worst. But what if we told you that you no longer have to “grin and bear it” during weather-related power outages?

Summertime is officially underway in Arkansas, and there’s no better time to enjoy our favorite outdoor activities with our friends and family.

Air conditioning is something that no Arkansan can do without, but no one looks forward to opening their electric bills during the summertime.
