News & Updates

During certain times of year (particularly the summer months), we often walk to the mailbox in fear on the days when our electric bill arrives. Arkansas summers can be punishingly hot, and they last for much more than 3 months. Staying cool and comfortable comes at a price.The good news is that there are several ways to significantly reduce your energy usage with a little “belt tightening.” Even though it might not seem like very much when you get your monthly statement, it all adds up over time. And wouldn’t you rather have those few extra dollars in your own pocket instead of the utility companies?

Most of us live our lives “plugged in.” We surround ourselves with all sorts of modern conveniences to make our lives easier, more comfortable, and more entertaining. Unfortunately, most homes don’t seem to have quite enough electrical outlets to go around, and we have to use power strips to accommodate all of our household needs. Power strips are a common sight in most homes and offices that use a lot of electronic devices, and are perfectly safe if used properly. But they are no substitute for a hard-wired, grounded outlet, and present certain risks when overloaded.
