Residential Electrical Services for Your Home in Schenectady
Your home should feel safe and comfortable, not uncertain because of electrical problems. Whether you live in an older Schenectady home with legacy wiring or a newer house that needs more capacity for today’s technology, we work to provide dependable solutions tailored to how you live.
Common Home Electrical Projects
Our residential electricians handle a wide range of projects that support everyday living and future plans. In many parts of Schenectady, homes were built long before modern electrical loads, and we are familiar with evaluating panels, grounding, and wiring to bring them in line with current standards.
Typical residential electrical work includes:
- Troubleshooting circuits that trip or fail without warning.
- Upgrading electrical panels to support additional appliances and technology.
- Installing interior and exterior lighting for safety and comfort.
- Adding outlets and dedicated circuits where you need more power.
- Supporting renovations, additions, and finished basements with new wiring.
- Preparing homes for EV chargers or integrating with solar systems.
When we visit your home, we start by listening. We ask what you have noticed, when it happens, and what you would like to change. Then we perform a careful inspection and explain our findings in clear language, not technical jargon. Before any work begins, we provide a clear estimate so you can make informed decisions.
Our goal is not just to fix the immediate issue but to help you plan for how you actually use power. That might mean recommending a panel upgrade, dedicated circuits for high-demand appliances, or improved lighting for key areas. We approach each project with respect for your home, using neat work practices and cleaning up our workspace before we leave.
Why Schenectady Property Owners Trust Comalli Group, Inc. for Electrical Work
When you invite an electrical contractor into your home or facility, you are trusting them with more than wiring. You are relying on them to protect your property, your schedule, and your budget. We take that responsibility seriously, and our history reflects it.
Since 1981, we have provided electrical, energy, and technology services across the Capital Region and the Berkshires. That experience means we understand older buildings, newer construction, and the utility and permitting requirements that projects in this area must meet.
Safety, Training & Code Compliance
Safety is built into how our team works every day. Our electricians are OSHA trained and follow strict NEC guidelines on every project, whether we are installing a new circuit in a home in Schenectady or coordinating power for a large commercial build. This focus on safety supports smoother inspections and reduces the risk of future issues that can come from cutting corners.
Clients also choose us because we bring broad capabilities under one roof. We handle traditional electrical work, solar PV, EV charging, fire alarms, structured cabling, and security integration with one coordinated team. That reduces the number of contractors you need to manage and helps keep communication clear from design through completion.

Commercial & Industrial Electrical Solutions for Schenectady Homes
For businesses and facilities, electrical systems are directly tied to operations. Downtime means lost productivity, and unplanned outages can disrupt customers and staff. We work with commercial and industrial clients to help keep power reliable, projects organized, and shutdowns carefully managed.
As a full-service electrical contractor, we support offices, manufacturing spaces, institutions, and other facilities throughout the Capital Region. Our services include service calls, power distribution, lighting, equipment feeds, panel work, expansions, and planned maintenance. We also support renovations and new construction with Design-Build delivery that incorporates BIM and 3D coordination to help reduce clashes and field changes.
Many facilities need electrical work completed within tight windows or during off-hours. Our Schenectady team is experienced in managing high-pressure, time-sensitive shutdown work with detailed planning and communication. We coordinate with your staff in advance so everyone understands what will happen, when power will be interrupted, and how we will bring systems back online.
Energy, Solar, EV Charging & Low-Voltage Systems
Electrical systems now extend beyond traditional wiring and panels. Many Schenectady property owners are adding solar, EV charging, and networked technology. We support these goals by offering integrated solutions that tie modern systems into safe, code-compliant power infrastructure.
Solar & EV Charging Solutions
Our team delivers turnkey support for solar PV projects, from initial concept through installation and coordination with other trades. We also design and install large-scale EV charging infrastructure for commercial sites, along with residential charging solutions where they fit. These projects require careful planning of electrical capacity, load management, and physical layout, and we manage those elements as part of a complete project plan.
Low-Voltage & Technology Services
Alongside power and energy systems, we provide advanced low-voltage and technology services. These include fire alarm systems, structured cabling for data networks, and security integration that brings cameras, access control, and monitoring together. Handling both power and low-voltage with one provider helps avoid gaps between systems and reduces coordination challenges.
Across all of these services, we focus on energy-conscious solutions that support long-term performance and responsible energy use. Every property in Schenectady is different, so we discuss options that fit your goals and constraints, then design systems that integrate with the way you use your home or facility.

Serving Schenectady With Local Knowledge & Fast Response
Because we are based in Albany and serve the wider Capital Region, we are regularly working in Schenectady and nearby communities. That local presence helps us respond efficiently and understand the practical details that affect projects in this area.
Many neighborhoods include a mix of older homes, multi-family buildings, and light industrial spaces. Our electricians are familiar with the wiring methods and electrical layouts common in these structures. Whether we are upgrading a panel in a long-established home or adding capacity in a commercial space, we plan work around the realities of the existing building.
We also work within the permitting and inspection processes required for electrical projects in this part of New York. Our knowledge of local expectations and coordination with regional utilities help us avoid unnecessary delays. For property owners, this local understanding means fewer surprises as a project moves from design to approval to final inspection.
Because our operations are already organized around serving the Capital Region, scheduling work in Schenectady is part of our regular routes. That supports faster response times and makes it easier to coordinate both everyday service calls and larger projects.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you work in older homes in Schenectady with outdated wiring?
We regularly work in older homes throughout the region and the surrounding area. Many of these properties have legacy wiring, limited panel capacity, or grounding that no longer aligns with current standards. Our electricians assess the existing system, identify any safety concerns, and explain options for upgrades or repairs in plain language. We strive to respect the character of older homes while bringing their electrical systems closer to modern expectations for safety and everyday use.
Do you offer free estimates for electrical projects?
We offer free estimates for residential and commercial projects whenever it is practical to do so. In many cases, we can provide a quote after an on-site visit where we review your goals, inspect existing systems, and discuss available options. The estimate outlines the proposed scope and associated costs so you know what to expect before authorizing work. If a situation requires immediate emergency repair, we explain how pricing works for that kind of service, then review any additional recommendations once the system is safe and stable.
Can your team handle both my office wiring and our EV chargers?
Yes, we support both traditional office wiring and modern systems such as EV charging within one coordinated project. Because we are a full-service electrical provider, we can install branch circuits, lighting, and equipment feeds alongside EV charging stations and related infrastructure. For many businesses, this means they can work with a single provider instead of multiple contractors. We plan these projects to account for overall electrical capacity and future needs so your systems work together reliably.
How do you keep my business running during electrical work?
For commercial and industrial clients in Schenectady, we plan electrical work around your operations to reduce downtime as much as possible. This can include scheduling work during off-hours, breaking projects into phases, or coordinating targeted shutdowns with your team. Our electricians are experienced in managing high-pressure shutdown work where tight timing is critical. Before we begin, we review the plan with you so everyone understands when power will be affected and how we will bring systems back online.
