Mel Carr began his career at Phillip Schuyler High School's vocational electrical shop class. After high school Mel worked for local contractors in the Capital Region, focusing on larger scale commercial and industrial jobs. His years in the industry and experience with all forms of electrical contracting allowed him to study the National Electrical Code and New York State Residential Code to become a master electrician.

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.

Fuses To Circuit Breaker Changeovers

Report

Circuit breakers are a wonderful resource for electrical safety, and are more convenient than using fuses. There is no need to search for replacement fuses in a dark basement, and there is not the same risk of incorrectly sizing a circuit breaker for an existing circuit.

Lamp Post Installation

No matter what the situation, we are the experts at installation and repair of lamp posts in your yard. We can also install a timer or photocell to control the time that the light goes on and off each day.

Electric Heaters

Report

Electric baseboard heaters are an excellent source of supplemental heat to a cold room over a garage, a drafty bathroom, basement office, or any other space your heating system just doesn't seem to keep warm. Electric baseboard heaters are a permanent replacement to potentially dangerous space heaters and wood-burning stoves.

Air Conditioner Wiring

Whether you have a window-style air conditioner, a modern free-standing air conditioner, or a central air system, we can help you with the electrical needs associated with those devices. On most non-central air systems, the manufacturer suggests to operate the air conditioner on a dedicated circuit fed directly from the panelbox.
