CAZENOVIA — Experienced electrical contractor Joshua Hebert recently established The Central Electric Co. of CNY in New Woodstock, where he resides.
According to the company’s website, Central Electric offers residential electrical services for everything from remodeling to new construction; panel installation, repairs, and upgrades; and electrical services on a commercial scale.
“I’ll work on anything from small repairs to full rewiring, from residential to small industrial/[agricultural],” said Hebert.
He added that he can assist with troubleshooting and diagnosing problems with generator and solar systems and with installing electric vehicle (EV) chargers.
“If it’s electrical I may be able to help,” he said. “. . . With over 20 years of experience in the industry, I’ve found that I truly enjoy troubleshooting as well as working on the more challenging projects. I have an extensive background in lighting and lighting control systems, on- and off-grid electrical systems, EV chargers, production facilities (manufacturing), as well as utility integration.”
Hebert grew up in Cazenovia and graduated from Cazenovia High School in 2002.
He was first exposed to electrical work while helping his family fix up old houses.
“After trying to balance college and an electrical apprenticeship here, I decided that solar was my calling,” he said.
According to Herbert, he took a job with a small solar company in California that quickly grew into a much larger operation that required him to travel throughout the United States full-time.
After 10-plus years working in solar, he decided he wanted to cut back on travel and took a job with a midsize contractor in California’s Sonoma and Napa counties that specialized in wineries and high-end residential, small commercial, and industrial projects.
“After two knee surgeries during the pandemic, I decided that family was most important to me and started making the shift to come home,” he said. “I’ve always wanted to start my own business and am incredibly thankful to have the opportunity to do it for family and friends.”
Hebert’s limited-liability company was filed on May 7, 2023.
