Your Local Troy Electrical Company Since 2004
McCauley Electrical is a family-owned and operated business that has been serving Troy and the broader Rensselaer County community since 2004. Troy is a city with real history, and a lot of that history is in the wiring. Our highly trained team works on everything from century-old Victorians in Washington Park to new construction in Sycaway, and we know what to expect when we open a wall. Every job starts with a free estimate and a written scope of work.
As a local electric company based just across the Hudson in Castleton-On-Hudson, we have been serving Troy customers for over two decades. Same team, same phone number, same reliable service.
Reliable Electrical Services We Provide in Troy
Our electrical services cover both residential and commercial customers throughout Troy and Rensselaer County. Troy's housing stock is older than most of the Capital Region, so we spend a lot of time on rewire work, panel upgrades, and repair jobs that other electricians shy away from.
Common Troy projects:
Electrical Services for Troy Homes and Businesses
Home Rewiring
Troy's older neighborhoods still have wiring from the 1920s through the 1960s. Knob-and-tube and old aluminum branch circuits are fire risks that most insurers now flag. We can rewire in stages so your family is not without electricity, and we can update individual circuits without tearing the whole house apart.
Panel Upgrade
A lot of Troy homes still have 60-amp or 100-amp service, plus a fuse box or early breaker panels. Most homes today need 200-amp service to handle modern loads like HVAC, EV chargers, and high-wattage appliances. An upgrade improves both safety and energy capacity.
New Construction
New builds in Troy and surrounding Rensselaer County from rough-in through final inspection. Code-compliant work so your Certificate of Occupancy does not get held up.
EV Charger Installation
Level 2 home EV charger work for Troy residents. We assess panel capacity first, since many older Troy homes need a service upgrade before a charger can be added. Most installs qualify for the federal tax credit.
Generator Installation
Whole-home standby generator work for Troy homes. Older neighborhoods lose power more often during storms, and a backup generator keeps essential appliances and heat running.
Hot Tub Electrician
Hot tub wiring needs a dedicated circuit with GFCI protection and a proper disconnect. We handle the electrical side so your installer can drop the tub and go.
Landscape Lighting
Professional landscape lighting solutions for Troy homes. Path lighting, architectural uplighting, low-voltage systems that last.
Commercial Electrical Services
Light commercial and small business work in downtown Troy, Hoosick Street, and throughout Rensselaer County. Retail buildouts, office rewires, restaurant and bar electrical.
Troy Electrician Questions We Hear Most
Not necessarily. Many insurance companies now require knob-and-tube to be removed or at least disclosed, but you can often rewire in phases. We typically start with kitchens, bathrooms, and any room with grounded appliances, then work outward. A full rewire of a Victorian home runs a wider budget range depending on access and plaster conditions.
