Mel Carr Electric

In 1976, Mel opened a little electrical shop in a garage near his home in Colonie, NY. His goal was to provide excellent electrical service to the Capital Region in all fields of electrical contracting. Mel quickly realized that there was a great need for top-quality, professional residential service electricians. Most local electricians were ignoring the residential customers, instead focusing on the commercial market because they claimed, "that is where the money is." Mel sought the road less traveled, and planned to bring a new level of professionalism and customer service to our industry. His dream would quickly become a reality... Today that small shop has grown to include numerous service trucks, a highly trained staff of qualified professional electricians and support staff, and an incomparable commitment to excellent customer service. The policies and standards of our company have set the path for other electrical contractors to follow. We were the first company in the area to offer up-front, flat-rate pricing on ALL jobs! This gives you the benefit of knowing the total cost of your project, before we ever begin! We were the first electrical company to wear uniforms and booties on our feet to protect your home and leave it as beautiful as when we arrived. Our bright yellow trucks and name badges clearly let you know who is coming to your home to do work for you.
