As a homeowner, a little technical know-how goes a long way. Some people are handier than others, but there are some common household repairs that you can learn how to do on your own. No matter what kind of repair work that you’re doing, you should always make safety your first priority! Don’t get in over your head, and don’t be too proud to ask for professional advice.
At Gary Houston Electric Company, we love a good do-it-yourself project, and understand the sense of accomplishment that you get from knowing you’ve improved your home using your own two hands and a little know-how. We get that. But we do caution people tackling DIY projects that involve electricity to KNOW YOUR LIMITS.
Few things are more frustrating for homeowners than electrical problems. Once they start, it can feel like there’s no end in sight when it comes to problems and complications. Even homeowners who are handy do-it-yourselfers can find themselves in over their heads with one wrong turn of a screwdriver. Whatever the situation, when it comes to electrical repair done right, a certified electrician is the only way to go.
Most people would agree that one of our greatest scientific innovations was developing the technology to deliver electricity to our homes. We often take it for granted (unless the power’s out), but the truth is it’s actually a pretty big part of our lives, What would life be like if we couldn’t flip a switch and turn on our lights, or recharge our laptops?

Our team at Gary Houston Electric Company has been providing premium residential electrical services to homeowners in Little Rock since 1978, and we’re ready to go to work for you. Here are a few reasons why you should choose GHEC for your next electrical job:
Do-it-yourself projects are pretty popular these days, what with an uncertain economy and HGTV being all the rage, but most homeowners still leave the really complex jobs to the pros, and with good reason. Besides having the potential to damage your home if not done right, there are some repairs that, if not done properly, have a high potential for personal injury or even death.

Regardless of how much of a “do-it-yourselfer” you may be, there are some areas of home repair you should leave to the pros. One of those areas is electrical. Amateur electric repair jobs pose the danger of electrocution or fire, and can also violate local electrical codes.
