Why Choose Mel Carr Electric

We’re a locally owned family business that has served the Capital Region since 1976. Our founder started the company 50 years ago, and today it’s owned by a husband-and-wife team who live in the community we serve.

That connection shapes how we approach every call. We care about the homes and neighbors behind the electrical work because this is our community, too.

Call us at (518) 500-3042 to discuss your electrical needs and schedule service.
