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.

Family-Owned and Serving the Capital Region Since 1976

We aren’t a private equity-owned company. We’ve built Mel Carr Electric around serving homeowners in Albany and surrounding communities, creating lasting relationships with the people who live here.

That means every call and every home matters to us. When you choose our team, your money stays with a local business that lives in and gives back to the community.
