My name is Nektarios "Nick" Arsenis and I am the proud owner of Naxos Electric. My company is named after the island I was born and raised on in Greece. It was there at the early age of 15 that I began my electrical career, which I continued to pursue when I came to the USA in 2000. Naxos Electric is founded on the same ethics and values that I was raised with: reliability, great communication, integrity and quality work. I strongly believe in giving my absolute best on all projects and look forward to assisting you with your next task or project. We are fully licensed and insured. Call us today at (401) 330-0175 for a free estimate!

"Aside from the fact that my lights are working now, I want to say how much I appreciate Nick's professionalism and prompt attention to my problem. The power outage was in an office area that I needed access to for work in the evening and Nick (hearing the desperation in my voice) moved his schedule around and was willing to come to my home 90 minutes later. It was after hours and he was willing to do me a great kindness at a reasonable cost. What more could you ask?"

Full Service Electrical and installation provider. If you suspect your electrical system could be damaged or malfunctioning, contact us right away. We will send a knowledgeable electrician out to identify the exact issue that is affecting your system. However, we do far more than just repairs, from LED lighting installation to electrical panel upgrade. At Kelco Electric, it's our job to make sure that all our electrical repairs are done carefully and correctly. When your electrical system is in need of repairs, it's dangerous to let the problem remain unsolved.

This is why our electricians are here to make sure you and your family are safe from electrical problems.

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

In many cases, you’ll need a permit or basic inspection to install one of these large generators. Since they include significant alterations to your home electrical system and many produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require jumping through a few hoops for general safety purposes. Your installer may be able to help you with these permits.

Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.

The cost to install a whole-house generator averages at $5,200, but costs can range from $1,500 to $8,900, depending on the type and size of the generator, and the labor required to install it. To find the best deal while still ensuring the unit meets all the needs of your household, hire an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your must-have appliances and electronics beforehand so you don’t pay for more power than you need. As always, be sure to get at least three quotes to find the ideal fit for your needs and budget.

While standby generators provide essential backup power, they can fail when you need them most due to lack of maintenance, fuel supply issues, dead batteries, electrical problems, or improper installation. To avoid costly failures, professional installation and regular maintenance are crucial. Licensed technicians ensure safety, uphold warranty requirements, comply with regulations, and provide expert servicing.

No, you cannot plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your home. Plugging in a generator without an interlocking kit, extension cord, or wall outlet receptacle is incredibly dangerous and can cause back-feeding—power from the generator back-feeds into utility lines. Also, if the main power comes back on while your generator is on, it could damage the generator and cause a house fire.
