About
M Scher & Son, Inc. is an Albany, NY commercial electrical contractor carrying the multi-generational expertise that the Capital Region's property managers and facility teams depend on for complex, code-compliant electrical work. Operating in one of New York State's most regulation-conscious markets, the firm brings hands-on knowledge of NEC compliance and New York State Electrical Code requirements that directly affect project timelines and inspection outcomes for commercial clients. Facility managers overseeing office buildings, retail centers, industrial facilities, warehouses, multifamily complexes, and institutional properties in the greater Albany area can rely on M Scher & Son for the core electrical systems that keep operations running. Their commercial scope typically encompasses power distribution infrastructure, switchgear installation and maintenance, panelboard and circuit breaker work, commercial lighting systems and retrofits, backup generator integration, and EV charging station (EVSE) deployment — all areas of increasing priority as Albany-area building owners modernize aging electrical infrastructure and respond to tenant demand for energy efficiency and electrification readiness. The Albany metro's mix of historic commercial stock and newer development creates unique challenges: upgrading undersized service entrances, coordinating outages around occupied tenants, and ensuring three-phase power reliability for manufacturing and warehouse clients. M Scher & Son's established local presence means familiarity with the utility coordination processes required by National Grid and the permitting workflows managed through the City of Albany and surrounding municipalities. For property managers juggling multiple vendor relationships, a contractor with deep local roots and a family-business accountability structure offers a meaningful operational advantage — straightforward communication, consistent crews, and workmanship backed by long-standing community reputation.
