The only requirement to appear on this page is a checked state electrical license, confirmed against the state licensing board as part of our approval process, that's why every listing above shows "License checked." Installers are listed alphabetically by default, not ranked by quality, and no installer pays for placement in that order. LumoWatt does not sell ranking. If paid placement is introduced, it will be clearly labeled and will not change the standard list order. Use the sort dropdown above to re-order the list yourself by years in business or how recently we checked a listing. See our editorial policy and listing standards & verification methodology for the full details.

Arkansas has a real, dated record of severe weather knocking out power at scale. On March 31, 2023, a high-end EF3 tornado tore through Little Rock and North Little Rock with winds reaching 165 mph, leaving roughly 75,000 Arkansans without power statewide, 50,000 of them in Pulaski County alone. Weeks earlier, on February 1, 2023, a freezing rain event across south Arkansas downed trees and power lines and cut power to more than 80,000 people, and a June 17-18, 2023 severe thunderstorm outbreak knocked out power to over 100,000. The state's worst modern outage event remains the January 2009 North American ice storm, which coated northern Arkansas in over 2 inches of freezing rain, snapped more than 30,000 power poles, and left an estimated 300,000 Arkansas residences without electricity, some for nearly a month.

How long does installation take in West Memphis?
The installation itself typically takes 1-2 days once a permit is approved and equipment is on-site, that part doesn't vary much by location. The variable is permit review time: it depends on your local building department's current workload, not on the installer, and can range from about a week to well over a month. Ask your installer for a current estimate, or contact West Memphis's permitting office directly (see the permit section above) for the timeline you should actually expect.
