NEC Electric

NEC Electric handles electrical work and solar, and one recent customer's electric car charger shows the electrical side: they said NEC gave a quote very quickly, installed it the week after, and that Kyle and Tom were careful and clean and the charger works well. Its own website describes NEC Electric & Solar (Newport Electric Construction) as an electrical contractor and solar company serving Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut, with residential and commercial electrical work, solar and battery storage, mini-split HVAC and EV charging. On Best Pick Reports it holds 4.9 stars from 203 ratings, and its BBB grade is A+. A 2026 customer who bought a 125-year-old house said it needed its knob and tube wiring removed and its electrical supply box moved and upgraded, and that Chris, Hollis and the team rewired the house and installed new fixtures. A recent customer said Keith arrived on time to look at the scope of work, then sent a timely quotation at a reasonable price. On the solar side, a 2026 customer said the job included a breaker panel upgrade before the solar panels went in, and that NEC handled coordination with Eversource and the town inspectors to get the system active before the 12/31/25 deadline for full tax credits. A 2025 customer with a metal roof said one microinverter malfunctioned on start-up and was replaced within a week. A 2024 customer said a ground-mounted array hit ledge at all seven mounting points and needed a rock drill, and that the trenching and wiring were completed in four days. In Reddit threads from 2023 to 2026, homeowners who used NEC for solar called it honest and great, one saying it was the best contractor experience they had had in many years. A recent Google reviewer gave one star, saying the solar system NEC installed gives off high EMF, is causing headaches, and was installed wrong. A recent customer praised the work and scheduling but said the price was quoted on a labor-intensive process, that technology was actually used to cut that labor, and that a request for a price reduction was refused. A 2025 HomeAdvisor customer said the price was much higher than expected.
