The Natural State is best known for its scenic beauty and mild temperate climate, but it’s also no stranger to extreme seasonal weather! Electric bills and temperatures both soar into the triple digits every summer, and our gas bills skyrocket every winter. Our utility providers also have the freedom to increase rates as they deem necessary to recoup their own steadily increasing costs. The only surefire way to lower your energy bills is to reduce your consumption, and our team at Gary Houston Electric is here to help!

Arkansans jokingly say that if you don’t like the weather, it will change soon enough! However, severe weather is no laughing matter, and plenty of communities are still rebuilding after an F3 tornado struck central Arkansas in early 2023.

If you’re tired of “grinning and bearing it,” our team at Gary Houston Electric is ready to give you a quote for a KOHLER emergency backup generator!

Your home is one of the most important things you own, but it’s not nearly as important as the people who live there!

Our team at Gary Houston Electric has been offering trusted electrical service in Little Rock since 1978, and we’re just a phone call away when you want to schedule an in-home electrical safety inspection!

Inflation rates haven’t been this high in decades, and the spending power of a dollar certainly isn’t what it used to be! Whether we’re buying groceries, household goods, or gasoline, there seems to be no end in sight to these higher prices.

The only option homeowners have to lower their bills is reducing their energy consumption, but that’s often easier said than done. The good news is that our team at Gary Houston Electric is always a phone call away, and we love helping our customers save money!

Unless you’re building a new home from the ground up, it’s a good bet that you had plenty of renovations in mind when you purchased your home. It’s all about “location, location, location” when it comes to real estate, and sometimes, the only way you can afford to move to your desired neighborhood is by purchasing a home that needs some work. Electrical wiring should also be inspected at least every 25 years or sooner if you’re unsure when it was last inspected. The good news is that our team at Gary Houston Electric is here to help! We’ve been the most trusted residential electrician in Little Rock since 1978, and we’re always a phone call away when you want to schedule an in-home safety evaluation.

The good news is that KOHLER emergency generators are more affordable than you think, and our team at Gary Houston Electric can perform most generator installations in a day or less!
