Your Hudson Electrical Company Since 2004

McCauley Electrical is a family-owned and operated business serving Hudson and the surrounding Columbia County community since 2004. Hudson has transformed over the past decade, with historic Warren Street buildings being renovated, new construction along the riverfront, and the established neighborhoods still full of homes that have not seen a panel upgrade in fifty years.

Our team has been handling Hudson electrical work for over two decades. As a local electric company based just up the river, we know the city and we know Columbia County.

Historic Home Rewiring

Most of Hudson's 19th-century housing stock still has original wiring or early updates from the 1940s-60s. We rewire in phases, preserving plaster and period character wherever possible.

Panel Upgrades

Many Hudson homes still have fuse boxes or undersized 60-amp and 100-amp service. Modern loads require 200-amp service for safety and capacity. An upgrade is essential for EV chargers, hot tubs, modern HVAC, and high-wattage appliances.

New Construction

New builds and additions throughout Hudson and Columbia County. Rough-in through final inspection.

Landscape Lighting

Professional landscape lighting for Hudson's restored historic properties and modern builds alike.

Hot Tub Electrician

Hot tub wiring with dedicated circuit, GFCI protection, and proper disconnect. Installed safely and to code.

EV Charger Installation

Level 2 home EV charger work for Hudson residents. We assess panel capacity first, since most older Hudson homes need a service upgrade before a charger can be added. Federal tax credit eligible.

Generator Installation

Whole-home standby generator work for Hudson homes. Columbia County is prone to outages from ice storms and summer thunderstorms. A backup generator keeps essential appliances and heat running.

Commercial Electrical Services

Warren Street commercial buildings have unique electrical challenges. Mixed-use conversions, restaurant buildouts, retail fit-outs. Our team handles historic commercial work and knows how to navigate Hudson's building and fire code.

Electrical Maintenance Plans

Regular maintenance is essential for older housing stock. An annual inspection includes testing receptacles, GFCI outlets, switches, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and a full panel inspection for wear or code issues.

Maintenance catches problems early, extends appliance and equipment life, and reduces fire risk. Maintenance plan customers get priority scheduling and discounted service call rates.

Emergency Electrical Services

Emergencies do not wait. Exposed wiring, sparking receptacles, burning smells, or loss of electricity in part of the house are safety issues needing a licensed electrician same-day.

Our emergency services cover Hudson and Columbia County. Call (518) 858-2608.
