One of Riccis major challenges is to stay on top of new technology.
Ricci handled the electrical installations for the nature center built by the Audubon Society at Constitution Marsh to house its records. On the residential side he divides his time among elegant homes with such fixtures at Tifny lights, older large homes whose electrical systems require updating and small homes that young couples need rewired to accommodate the increasing numbers of electrical appliances.
Power to the people,Carmine Anthony Ricci, a master electrician and owner of C. A. Ricci Electrical Contractors Inc., packs his truck.
Ricci grew up in Cold Spring, the son of a village judge who also ran the Putnam County Highway Department garage. Following graduation from Haldane High School, he enlisted in the National Guard for six years, devoting weekends and two summer weeks to that cause while attending Delhi. He has praise for the Delhi program, which included a year of electrical technology followed by a year of instrumentation and controls. We rewired buildings as a part of a class project and did a solar project.
Such was the sage advice given to Carmine Anthony Tony Ricci by his grandther, the late Chandler Cooper of Poughquag, a carpenter by trade. Today Ricci, a graduate of the State University of New York at Delhi and a master electrician, owns C. A. Ricci Electrical Contractors in Cold Spring, employing six individuals and working in Dutchess, Orange, Putnam and Westchester counties.

Continuing education is not required, but it should be, he says. Another problem is keeping current on interpretations of the codes. The code book is national, but its interpretation varies with the individual inspectors. Outsourcing of manucturing has presented electricians with a dilemma, Ricci says of the need to be aware of switches, outlets and receptacles of a lesser quality. He says he avoids such problems by shopping directly from the supply houses.
