Adding custom details to your home? We got you covered. These floating shelves with built-in lighting couldn't be more custom if they tried. From design, build, manufacturing of product, to install, we were involved with the client and kitchen cabinet makers. It takes many brains with various resources and experience to execute something like this. There are numerous details to consider that need to be precise. Like we said, we got you.... #evoelectricalcontracting #electrician #electricalcontractor #electrical #gtaelectrician #gtacontractor #sparky #sparkylife #homebuild #customhome See more

Get prepared! The season of power outages is just beginning!

A Poppy collection box was stolen from Circle K in Shelburne. The importance of Rememberance Day from the Legion: Canadians often associate The Royal Canadian Legion with Remembrance ceremonies and events. Through these initiatives, we honour and remember Canada’s fallen Veterans and help ensure Canadians never forget. The Legion is responsible for planning and coordinating annual Remembrance Day ceremonies in communities across the country. For many, our most widely known ...activity is the annual Poppy drive that leads up to Remembrance Day. Legion members and other volunteers distribute tens of millions of Poppies, and gratefully accept donations to raise money in support of Veterans and their families. While November is recognized as a time of Remembrance, for the Legion and for many across the country, Remembrance is a year-long commitment. At any given moment, there are many opportunities available to anyone wishing to show their appreciation for those who served, including: - Becoming a Legion member to support Veterans year-round - Making a donation to the Legion’s Poppy Trust Fund at any Legion Branch - Saying Thank you to a Veteran - Wearing a Poppy - Honouring a fallen Veteran on the Legion’s Wall of Honour and Remembrance - Planting Poppy seeds or growing a garden of Remembrance - Visiting a cenotaph - Inviting a Legion Branch to make a presentation at a school or community group - Wearing or displaying commemorative items from the Poppy Store - Visiting the Canadian War Museum or local history museums - Volunteering to help Veterans, and more! Most importantly, take a moment now and then to reflect on the freedoms and peace in your life, and to remember the men and women who served and sacrificed for all we have today. Although this is a tiny gesture, it is important to support those in our community as this makes us stronger and better, together, we are donating $100.00 to the Shelburne Canadian Legion Branch 220. Brandon will also take the time to become a Legion member as this is something he has always wanted to do to commemorate his grandfather. Every year we also plant a Poppy garden of Rememberance on our property and visit the local museum. Thank you to all the Veterans. Lest we forget. #remembranceday Anyone wishing to donate to the Shelburne Legion, can etransfer to [email protected] Security question: where does the money go Answer: legion Volunteers will also be in the back double glass doors Saturday November 14 from Noon - 2:30. Members can also pay their early bird dues($50) or you can pick up an application for Membership at that time. We Will Remember Them!

Tonight! Who else is attending?

If you've seen these advertised, don't buy them. They're garbage. Last a handful of days before they destructed.....and they won't refund, only offer a discount on more pairs. They say once they're worn, the destructible is no longer valid. Does that makes senae? Took 3 plus months to get here. I guess they're only indestructible when not worn. Makes sense.... @indestructableshoes See more

Are you ready and prepared?! Living out in the country makes you extra prone to power outrages, especially in the upcoming Winter season. Sometimes it's for a few minutes, hours or days depending on the issue and how quick it can get resolved. Your space may not be equipped to be powerless. Your farm may be relying for power for various reasons such as heaters for livestock or lighting or fear of pipes freezing over, etc.. If you've been thinking about or meaning to get a g...enerator installed then now is the time! With delays in materials due to shipping and manufacturing, it's a good idea to get prepared sooner than later. Reach out to us now to get a quote! Pictured here is a 22KW Guardian Generator by @generac installed by us. Also installed was a new automatic transfer switch to initiate start-up of the new generator due to a utility power failure. As well as system shut down when utility power as been restored. This generator will run general purpose lighting and receptacles as well as the customers sump pump, well pump, gas/propane furnace, central air, refrigerator, freezer, electric stove, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine. After we re-installed the customer service raceway and wiring to accomadate new automatic transfer switch. #beprepared #evoelectricalcontracting #generator #generac #electrician #electricians #electrical #electricalcontractor #electricalcontracting #sparky #dufferincounty #dufferin #renovation #power #poweroutage @ Dufferin County

@indestructibleshoes not so indestructible. After one week of wearing the toe fabric has ripped and it's a steel metal plate underneath. Perhaps the new fashion trend? The heels are in tact but the tops aren't. Pretty disappointed. #indestructibleshoes #indestructible #destructable #work #workshoes

One of the most commonly asked questions we get, besides "do you do residential work?" is "Can I buy some EVO apparel?" Well NOW YOU CAN! With the help of local @townteesca you can now head straight to our website and place an order for all your favourite items. You'll find sweaters, shirts (short and long), hats, masks and more.

Can you guess the ceiling height in our custom @ecohaven.ca Canterbury project? This is an update on our Canterbury entryway, dining room and living room ... peeking into the kitchen. This project required alot of fine tuning and double checking of calculations because we had to ensure everything lines up and was STRAIGHT .... Which is extremely difficult to do when this high up, in such an open concept where you can see everything in the house from every angle and using... square pot lights .... But this is our job and we LOVE it! OCD tendencies are welcomed.

UPDATE: We are OPEN and here to help! Get in touch for all your electrical needs. We closed our doors on March 16, 2020 with uncertainty of when we will be able to open again. During this time we got organized, did taxes, paperwork, sourcing future leads, spent time with family and kids, gardening, trying new recipes, building and creating imaginative play, found local treasures and built some shelves around our fireplace.... #keepingbusy But now, with the approval of the Government, it's time to get back to the working grind with the appropriate safety measures in place. Please share with friends, family and the community so that we can help our local businesses rise from this and reach for the stars #supporttheburnebiz #smallbusiness #smalltown #esa #electrician #electricianlife #open #covid19 #covid #gta #contractor #gtacontractor #electrical #electricity #electricalsafetyauthority #electriccontractor See more

Today we proclaimed April 28th as National Day of Mourning within the Town of Shelburne to honour those who have been killed or injured in workplace accidents.

We are here to help you during the COVID-19 pandemic! Please be advised that due to the ongoing Global Pandemic we have made the decision to closed until we are told it is safe to reopen. We understand that during this time, essential living electrical issues (such as a stove not working which would cause difficulty in creating and heating meals) may arise and we wish to offer some help to our community.... As a form of relief to our community; - We are waiving the service fee and labour fee for regular calls.* - We will not charge overtime rates for after hours and weekend emergency calls.* This will work as follows: 1. Call our office directly at 647-987-8830 or cell at 519-217-8386 and speak with Izabela. 2. After our COVID-19 Message plays you will be asked to leave a message.

We dont want to turn anyone away if we can help them but please understand that this is also a strain on us by attempting to help you out of a bad situation. Although other electricians may chose to stay open and available for service calls, our small family-run business with one apprentice has decided that it is best to stay home and self-isolate. No, we do not have the financial means to do this. Yes, it will be difficult. Yes, we will go into debt. No, we will not put ourselves and others at risk unnecessarily. Working together as a community we can all get through this! Stay safe, Izabela & Brandon *Conditions apply and we may remove or cancel this offer at anytime. Not all jobs may qualify. We reserve the right to final decisions of how this program is applied and to whom.

Leaders are also calling for shortening of the Essential workers list. Stay home. Mention of construction workers in here as well. Stay safe. Stay home. Set an example.

Curious about electricity? Want a simple easy science experiment for the kids? Or just bored? If you have a piece of fruit, a couple of nails, and some wire, then you can generate enough electricity to turn on a light bulb. Making a fruit battery is fun, safe, and easy. What you need:... - Citrus fruit (lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit) - Cooper nail, screw, or wire (about 2 in. or 5 cm long) - Zinc nail or screw or galvanized nail (about 2 in. or 5 cm long) - Small holiday light with 2 in. or 5 cm leads (enough wire to connect it to the nails) Here's how to make the battery: Set the fruit on a table and gently roll it around to soften it up. You want the juice to be flowing inside the fruit without breaking its skin. Alternatively, you can squeeze the fruit with your hands. Insert the zinc and copper nails into the fruit so that they are about 2 inches (5 centimeters) apart. Don't let them touch each other. Avoid puncturing through the end of the fruit. Remove enough insulation from the leads of the light (about 1 in. or 2.5 cm) so that you can wrap one lead around the zinc nail and the other lead around the copper nail. You can use electrical tape or alligator clips to keep the wire from falling off the nails. When you connect the second nail, the light will turn on. How it works: The copper and zinc metals act as positive and negative battery terminals (cathodes and anodes). The zinc metal reacts with the acidic lemon juice (mostly from citric acid) to produce zinc ions and electrons. The zinc ions go into solution in the lemon juice while the electrons remain on the metal. The wires of the small light bulb are electrical conductors. When they are used to connect the copper and zinc, the electrons that have built upon the zinc flow into the wire. The flow of electrons is current or electricity. It's what powers small electronics or lights a light bulb. Eventually, the electrons make it to the copper. If the electrons didn't go any farther, they'd eventually build up so that there wouldn't be a potential difference between the zinc and the copper. If this happened, the flow of electricity would stop. However, that won't happen because the copper is in contact with the lemon. The electrons accumulating on the copper terminal react with hydrogen ions floating free in the acidic juice to form hydrogen atoms. The hydrogen atoms bond to each other to form hydrogen gas.

Stay safe everyone!

Unless it is an emergency, please, stay home. Feel unsafe or ill or have to care for someone sick? Stay home. Help do your party so we can all return safely to work.

If you work construction there are some good tips. It is somewhat unrealistic to control this on a jobsite. Stay safe everyone!

Hello friends, we have made the decision to close for the next two weeks. We do not make this decision lightly. We must do this to flatten the curve and stand in solidarity with other businesses who have also closed down and have our community at heart & in mind while also doing their civic duty as citizens. We are a small family run business with one apprentice. We will all be out income. We can understand why businesses want to stay open but it is simply not safe. We want t...o help protect our friends, family and community - YOU! ***Plus we have numerous elderly folk and children in our lives, loved ones who are immunosuppressed or working in the emergency line of defense. Our 2.5 year old daughter gets seizures which only surface with fevers. We want to protect all those around us.*** Currently the ESA [Electrical Safety Authority] is only doing priority Connections Authorizations [so people can receive, or continue to receive electrical service] in safe measures on a priority basis. If you require this, please feel free to get in touch with us via phone [647-987-8830], email [[email protected]] or DM and we can assist you appropriately. ***ESA will not enter occupied areas of the following facilities and we are following the same protocol: Long Term Care Homes and Seniors residences Hospitals Retirement Homes Day Care facilities Personal Dwellings including homes, apartments and condos Community Housing for non-critical routine inspections Please stay home. Call, write or video chat a friend. Check in on those with mental health issues. Grow something from seed. Make homemade pasta. Read something. Do a puzzle. Finish some yard work. Binge watch some horrible T.V. Wash your hands. Stay safe. We will update you the moment we re-open and appreciate your support and co-operation.

This Sunday at 2am clocks Spring forward. Take this opportunity to change the batteries in those smoke and CO alarms to keep your family members safe.
