How CJ’s Electric Keeps Northwest Arkansas Connected

For luxury hospitality owners and homeowners alike, an unexpected power outage is more than an inconvenience—it is a threat to comfort, safety, and reputation. When the grid fails, people need a seamless backup power solution and a reliable professional to install it.

That is where Chris Jones, master electrician and owner of CJ’s Electric, Inc., steps in. For nearly 25 years, CJ’s Electric has served as the premier standby power Guide in Northwest Arkansas, helping customers protect their homes and businesses with top-tier engineering from Briggs & Stratton Energy Solutions.

A Legacy of Integrity and Responsiveness

Electrical expertise is in Jones’s blood. Growing up watching his father run an electrical company, Jones learned early on that true success in the trades comes down to two things: showing up and keeping your word. After earning his master electrician license, he relocated to Arkansas to build his own legacy.

“We built this business by focusing on the basics,” Jones said. “We put our logo on everything, but more importantly, we answered the phone and returned calls. Other companies in the area weren’t prioritizing customer service, so I made it our signature.”

Today, CJ’s Electric is a thriving, family-owned operation built almost entirely on customer referrals and a reputation for uncompromising integrity.

“We do what we say, and we communicate along the way,” Jones said. “Those principles have established us as a trusted resource throughout Northwest Arkansas.”

Securing Peace of Mind for a Luxury Forest Retreat

That reputation for reliability recently brought CJ’s Electric to Black Walnut Bungalow, a new luxury retreat nestled within 70 acres of pristine forest in Rogers, Arkansas. Featuring six high-end A-frame cabins, the property’s out-of-state owner knew that ensuring a 5-star guest experience meant guaranteeing 100% power uptime, regardless of the weather.

To solve this challenge, Jones installed two Briggs & Stratton PowerProtect 26kW standby generators—the industry's most powerful air-cooled generator.

“The owner wanted to make sure his guests always had power,” Jones said. “One 26kW unit backs up three of the bungalows plus the property's deep well pump, and the second 26kW covers the remaining three cabins.”

Why a Master Electrician Chooses Briggs & Stratton

With decades of field experience, Jones is highly selective about the equipment that carries his endorsement. When clients ask about competing brands, his answer is definitive.

“When people ask for a Generac, I tell them, ‘No, I don’t use their products,’” Jones said. “We want 5-star reviews, and Briggs & Stratton helps me get those reviews. I sell the best and keep my reputation intact with Briggs & Stratton because I know they’ll always support me and deliver products that meet my high standards.”

By pairing the commercial-grade durability of the PowerProtect 26kW with the elite craftsmanship of CJ's Electric, Northwest Arkansas properties are fully equipped to conquer the storm and keep the lights on.
