Going to take a minute to brag about my friend Carly, because I’m so damn proud of her ❤️

Carly is the woman behind Lady Electric, a Red Seal electrician, and now a 2026 40 Under 40 Industrial Leaders winner. Watching her put so much heart and work into giving women in trades the visibility they deserve has been incredible.

The Tradeswomen Exhibit and calendar initiative she helped create are reaching young people across Canada and showing them a future they might not have pictured for themselves. Just casually doing all that while being an absolutely incredible human. No big deal. 💪

We’ll both be at the Women’s Entrepreneurship Day (WEDO) Vancouver Island Summit on November 6 here in Courtenay.

Obviously, come for the summit and the topics being discussed, buuuuut… you won’t want to miss the chance to meet this amazing human! ❤️

Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honour the children who never returned home from residential schools, the Survivors, and their families and communities.

At Sinnott Electric, we recognize the importance of listening to Indigenous voices, learning the truth of our shared history, and reflecting on our responsibility in reconciliation.

Every Child Matters. 🧡

Now that we’re officially into the “ber” months, the holiday season will be here before we know it.

If hanging and taking down Christmas lights every year isn’t your favourite tradition, Watts permanent exterior lighting might be the answer. Customize the colours for Christmas, Halloween, game days, and special occasions, or keep them simple for everyday exterior lighting throughout the year.

Once they’re installed, they’re ready whenever you need them. No ladders, tangled strings of lights, or taking everything down again in January.

Here are a few of our recent installations. If you’d like yours ready for the holidays, send Sinnott Electric a message to get started.

What an incredible 3 days of celebration! 🌈⚡️

After an amazing weekend celebrating , I have to take a minute to give a massive THANK YOU to this incredible crew of humans. ❤️

To everyone who helped decorate and get everything ready beforehand, then got up Saturday morning, threw on a Sinnott Electric shirt and came out to walk, dance, laugh, hand out merch and bring some serious energy to the parade, I am so incredibly grateful for every single one of you.

Sinnott Electric may have taken home BEST FLOAT 🏆🌈, but that win belongs to this crew. So many hands helped bring everything together, and seeing it all come to life surrounded by this group made the win that much sweeter.

More than anything, Pride is about community. It’s about creating spaces where people feel safe to show up exactly as they are, without having to hide, explain or change any part of themselves to belong.

At Sinnott Electric, we see you. We embrace you. And we celebrate you for exactly who you are 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

To everyone who lined the parade route, cheered, danced, waved, smiled and celebrated with us, thank you. The energy out there was unreal, and getting to be a small part of such a big celebration of love, acceptance and community is something I’m incredibly proud of.

And to the crew in this photo, thank you for showing up and making Sinnott Electric look pretty damn good out there ❤️

I’d say we definitely earned Best Float 🏆⚡️🌈

Happy Pride, Comox Valley. Until next year. ❤️

Pride weekend is here, and Sinnott Electric is looking forward to celebrating with our community! 🌈⚡️

Come out to the Pride Parade at 11:30 and keep an eye out for the Sinnott Electric float, along with all the amazing humans walking with us. And who knows, you might even be one of the lucky people to leave the parade with some sweet Sinnott Electric merch!

After the parade, come hang out with us at Pride at the Park! Sinnott Electric is incredibly proud to be a sponsor for the third year in a row and to continue supporting an event that brings so much love, joy, and community to the Comox Valley.

You’ll also see me out and about enjoying the festivities all weekend, so if you spot me, please come say hi! I’m looking forward to connecting, celebrating, and sharing a whole lot of Pride with everyone.

We’re proud to show up, celebrate, and support everyone in being exactly who they are. I can’t wait to see everyone out and about this weekend. Happy Pride! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Ever wonder what service electricians are doing in your attic in the middle of summer?… Apparently taking selfies to compare just how much sweat is pouring out of us on any given day 😂

But seriously, attic temperatures can easily feel 10–30°C hotter than it is outside, and sometimes the job still needs to get done. At Sinnott Electric, we don’t shy away from the tough jobs. Hot attics and uncomfortable spaces come with the territory. We take pride in showing up, putting in the work, and getting the job done right.

And your friendly reminder to stay hydrated out there during these hot days. Nobody wants to come home and find a human-shaped puddle where their electrician used to be 😂

Stay cool, stay hydrated, and leave the attic crawling to us. ⚡️

⚡ A little longer of a post today, but this is an important one for homeowners and renters ⚡️

Have you ever wondered why arc-fault breakers were developed or why older Federal Pioneer electrical panels are often recommended for replacement?

Electrical connections can loosen and deteriorate over time. When this happens, electricity can begin to arc across the poor connection, generating significant heat. Without the appropriate protection to detect and interrupt the circuit, this can lead to melted wiring, damaged devices and electrical boxes, and potentially ignite nearby combustible materials.

In the past two weeks, Sinnott Electric has been called to two homes where we discovered significant heat and arcing damage caused by older crimp-style wire connections that had deteriorated over time.

Both homes were built in the late 1970s to early 1980s, both had Federal Pioneer electrical panels, and in both cases, the breakers did not trip despite the significant heat and damage occurring at the connections.

This is one reason electrical protection has evolved, including the use of arc-fault protection in many areas of modern homes, and why older Federal Pioneer panels are often recommended for evaluation and replacement.

This post isn’t meant to scare anyone it’s about awareness. Electrical systems are often out of sight and out of mind, and issues can develop over decades of use.

⚠️ Warning signs to watch for:

• Flickering or dimming lights
• Unexplained power loss in areas of your home
• Power cutting out and returning when devices are plugged in or unplugged
• A melting or burning plastic smell
• Warm, discoloured, buzzing or crackling switches or receptacles

If you’re experiencing these symptoms, or live in an older home and aren’t sure about your electrical system, consider having it inspected.

Contact Sinnott Electric to book a full-home electrical inspection. We can assess your system, identify potential issues, and help you understand what, if anything, needs attention.

🤔 Something interesting we learned today… 🤔

As electricians, we’re always keeping an eye on what’s happening in the EV world, and we recently came across something we hadn’t heard much about before.

Grizzl-E has a program called Grizzl-E Club that allows eligible charger owners to earn rewards based on their EV charging usage. The program is built around Canada’s Clean Fuel Regulations and shares a portion of the value generated by EV charging with participating members.

A few things that caught our attention:

🇨🇦 Designed and manufactured in Canada

⚡ Eligible new and existing charger owners can participate

💰 Members can earn rewards based on charging activity

🔒 No monthly membership fees were listed in the program information we reviewed

🎨 Let’s be honest — they’re also one of the better-looking EV chargers on the market. Clean, simple, and built to handle Canadian weather.

We are not affiliated with Grizzl-E, not sponsored by Grizzl-E, and this is not an advertisement. We simply came across the program, thought it was interesting, and wanted to share it with our customers and community.

At Sinnott Electric, we believe in sharing useful information, whether it’s about electrical safety, energy savings, or new technology that could benefit our customers.

If you’re an EV owner or considering making the switch it may be worth taking a look.
