Mel Carr Electric Remains one of the capital region’s most trusted electric service company. My lead electrician Jamie was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to troubleshoot and explain complex issues faced by my 1939 home. Also there was an excellent support team available to schedule appointments and provide additional support when needed for my two day job. True Professionals!
The team at Mel Carr was wonderful to work with. They were polite, respectful and gave me multiple options to choose from. They came out quickly to assess what I needed and I felt no pressure to make a hefty decision in the moment.
Had a great experience with Chris, who installed a few bathroom fans for me. He is punctual, polite, very efficient and very thorough. Would have no hesitation calling Mel Carr for future work. They are a terrific organization!
Jamie and his colleague were courteous and knowledgeable. They showed up when expected and explained everything that they were planning to do with our approval and gave us several options and we discussed them and they solved our immediate electrical problem and then we’re extremely thorough about identifying all of the switches in the panel so that we know how to work our lights better than before they came. I found them to be very professional and would definitely use them again. They cleaned up. They were very nice And I was very happy with their service
Chris from Mel Carr came out when expected, explained what he would be doing and pricing - then diagnosed and repaired the issue quickly. Friendly, professional,cleaned his work up and offered to help put appliances back where they belonged … but most importantly, he didn’t mind me hovering and asking a boatload of questions. Would definitely recommend him and Mel Carr for your electrical services needs.
