Founder Kenneth Vaughn tied in his first live 240 volt overhead service connection together with his father Joseph Vaughn in 1964 at the age of seven. As soon as they got in the work truck - "Don't tell your mother." Joe said to his son. "One day electric is how you will provide for your family" he said. "You're too stupid to go to college."

 

     Ken spent the next 15 years working for his fathers Bethpage based electrical contracting company, learning and dedicating his life to one day taking over the family business. Working together alongside his dad and his men, and following in his dads footsteps gave Ken a strong sense of pride and respect for the electrical trade from the very beginning. 

 

     When Kens dad passed away suddenly and tragically at the young age of 50, forces beyond Kens control left him with a new purpose in his life - to start his own electrical contracting business, so that one day he may pass the business down to his son.

 

     When K.V Electric started in 1981 it had very humble beginnings. In the early days, it was a small residential garage operation. Ken worked 7 days a week and quickly built a strong reputation by always getting the job done no matter what and always doing what he said he would do. "No cry babies make it work" was printed on the back of every work van and year by year K.V Electric continues to solidify itself over and over again as dependable and honest just like his dads company was. Because his dads company was. 

 

     42 years later, in 2023, here I am - Joseph Vaughn the 2nd. I've been an electrician my entire life and K.V Electric is more than just a business to me. My dad and I have been working alongside each other since I was around 7, which was the age I was when I tied my first 240 volt service in live. I hope my mom doesn't read this.

 

     K.V Electric Inc is now a third generation electrical company and we have never been better. With expert technicians who are a part of the family our strong desire to do a perfect job every single time will guarantee you continue to use us for all of your electrical needs. 

 

     "Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile. "
