Summertime is officially underway in Arkansas, and there’s no better time to enjoy our favorite outdoor activities with our friends and family. Unfortunately, this is also the time of year when our electric bills skyrocket higher than the temperature outdoors, and we find ourselves at the mercy of utility providers who have the freedom to raise their rates as they see fit. The good news is that there are many easy ways to reduce our household energy consumption without compromising our comfort, and our team at Gary Houston Electric is here to help!

No matter how much you love your home, it’s perfectly natural to want to make some upgrades. People often have a few renovations in mind when they move into a new home, and a family’s needs typically change as it grows. And sometimes you get tired of seeing the “same ol’ same ol'” over the years and just want something new! The good news is that there are plenty of affordable home upgrades that can be completed in a week or less, and our team at Gary Houston Electric is here to help!

It’s always an exciting time when your offer is accepted on a “new to you” home, and there are plenty of bargains to be found if you don’t mind making some repairs before you move in. But no matter how experienced you are at DIY projects, some jobs are still best left to the pros! Gary Houston Electric has proudly offered trusted residential electrical service in Little Rock since 1978, and we’re always happy to help you get the most bang for your home improvement buck! And when it comes to home maintenance and upgrades, electrical safety should always be your top priority!

No matter how happy you are with your home, you probably spend plenty of time imagining all of its future possibilities. You’re not alone if you don’t quite know where to start, but it’s important to remember that money isn’t nearly as important as creativity when it comes to home upgrades. The good news is that many upgrades are more affordable than you think, and our team at Gary Houston Electric is here to help you keep your home improvement projects on time and within budget!

Air conditioning is something that no Arkansan can do without, but no one looks forward to opening their electric bills during the summertime. Our utility providers are legal monopolies with the authority to raise our rates as they see fit, and it’s easy to understand why our parents were always so particular about the thermostat now that it’s our name on the bills! The good news is that there are plenty of easy and inexpensive ways to “tighten your belt,” and our team at Gary Houston Electric is here to help!

We take great pride in our reputation for legendary service, and we’re ready to earn your business!

We’ve already experienced two rounds of snowfall in 2025, and it won’t be long before we’re forced to deal with another springtime tornado season! Every Arkansan considers inclement weather his or her year-round companion, and we can always count on plenty of extended power outages when Mother Nature does her worst. But what if we told you that you no longer have to “grin and bear it” when your power goes out?

2025 has already gotten off to a wintry start, and parts of central Arkansas were recently blanketed with nearly a foot of snow! Our children love snow days, and there’s nothing like watching them play outside as we enjoy a few unplanned days off from work. But this is also the time of year when our home heating costs predictably skyrocket, and it’s difficult to relax when we know our utility providers have the freedom to raise our rates as they see fit! The only way to fight back is to reduce our energy consumption, and that’s where our team at Gary Houston Electric comes in!

We all remember how challenging it was to find the right home, but nothing’s too good for our families! We all started out with plenty of “must haves” for our ideal home, but the reality is that we’re often limited by our budgets or what’s available for sale in our market. No one wants to compromise when buying a new home, but sometimes it makes more sense to invest in a “handyman’s special” and upgrade as your budget allows. The good news is that there are plenty of surprisingly affordable home upgrades that can be completed in a week or less, and our team at Gary Houston Electric is here to help!

There’s nothing more exciting than buying a new home, and it’s the single most important investment you’ll ever make! The average homeowner looks at eight or more properties before making an offer, and you owe it to yourself to leave no stone unturned to find the most suitable home for your family’s needs and budget. But it’s a good bet that your “new to you” home needs a few electrical safety upgrades, and our team at Gary Houston Electric is here to help!
