Meet Ryan Merchant, a Columbia County native, Chatham High School graduate, and proud father to a spirited 9-year-old daughter. Ryan’s journey into the electrical trade was inspired by his family—his dad and uncle, both electricians and small business owners, showed him the ropes right out of high school. Today, Ryan channels that legacy into his own company, Merchant Electric.
Ryan’s niche is tackling the small electrical jobs that big companies often overlook—whether it’s fixing outlets, replacing light fixtures, or troubleshooting pesky electrical issues. But don’t let “small” fool you—he also takes on larger residential and light commercial projects. For Ryan, no job is too small because even the smallest tasks can lead to lifelong clients and meaningful relationships.
“Ryan is my go-to for all of my personal and client work,” says Daniel ‘Dan’ Mahar, Principal Broker of Mahar Real Estate. “He’s one of the best electricians around, he suits up and shows up. Nothing replaces being reliable and doing the job you say you’re going to do. There’s no consultation fee and no job too small. He’s come in and done just one light fixture in the same day I’ve called. Ryan is the guy you call when you want it done.”
What sets Merchant Electric apart? Ryan handles every project himself, ensuring it’s done right the first time. His lean operation keeps rates affordable, scheduling fast, and communication seamless—you’ll always deal directly with Ryan. And when emergencies strike, Ryan’s flexible hours and 24/7 availability make him the go-to electrician for Hudson, Ghent, Chatham, Claverack, Livingston, Valatie, Kinderhook, Nassau, New Lebanon and beyond.
