What they do

Mel Carr Electric is an Albany electrical contractor that handles residential backup power. The work includes installing temporary generators with the cord and outdoor outlet needed to run up to 10 circuits in a home, along with transfer switches that keep generator power and utility power separate. Panel upgrades are also part of the backup power work, and generator replacement is offered for units with fuel leaks, inconsistent power, corrosion or damage, or that are over 10 years old. Each job starts with a site assessment to pick a location with good ventilation and access, away from windows and entrances. The company has been family-owned since 1976 and serves Albany along with towns such as Latham and Colonie. The office keeps weekday hours.
