About Us

Family-owned and operated since 1982. Quality work, friendly people, and we own most of our own equipment — working all across Ontario.

Family-Owned & Operated Est. 1982 All Across Ontario Own Equipment

Who we are

Sentry Electric Inc. is a family-owned and operated electrical contracting company based in Innisfil, Ontario. We’ve been in business since 1982, and we still run the company the same way — hands-on, honest, and focused on doing the job right.

We’re known for great work and friendly people. When you call Sentry, you’re dealing with a real crew that shows up, communicates clearly, and takes pride in the finished result. No big corporate layers — just a family business that cares about every project.

We work all around Ontario — sports fields, commercial sites, industrial facilities, arenas, and construction projects. From Simcoe County to jobs further afield, the same standards apply wherever we go.

Our story

More than four decades of electrical and lighting work across Ontario.

Sentry Electric started in 1982 as a small, family-run electrical contractor. Over the years we’ve grown our capabilities — sports lighting, commercial and industrial work, venue support, scoreboards, and site infrastructure — while staying true to how we began: family-owned, family-operated, and focused on the customer.

Sports lighting became a major part of what we do. We’ve completed 150+ sports lighting installations for fields, parks, schools, and clubs. That experience carries into every job: planning, equipment, aerial access, and finishing the work so the facility is ready for use.

Today we still operate out of Innisfil, with crews and equipment that travel to projects all around Ontario. Clients hire us because the work is solid, the people are easy to deal with, and we show up with what we need to get the job done.

What sets us apart

Simple things that make a real difference on the job.

Family-Owned & Operated

We’re a family business. Decisions stay close to the work and the people who do it. That means faster answers, clearer communication, and someone who actually stands behind the job.

Great Work, Friendly People

Quality workmanship and a crew that’s easy to deal with. Clients hire us again because the job gets done right — and because working with us is straightforward.

We Own Most of Our Equipment

Crane, aerial boom trucks, and the gear we need for high work and site installs. Owning our equipment means better schedule control, fewer delays, and consistent quality.

Work All Across Ontario

Based in Innisfil, we take on projects throughout Ontario — sports lighting, commercial and industrial electrical, venues, and construction support wherever the job is.

How we work

Every project starts with a clear conversation about scope, timing, and site conditions. We plan the work, show up with the right people and equipment, and keep you updated as the job moves forward.

Because we own most of our own equipment, we’re not waiting on someone else’s crane or boom truck. That helps us stay on schedule and control quality on high-mast lighting, arena work, scoreboard installs, and elevated commercial jobs.

When the work is done, we want the facility ready for use — lights aimed, systems commissioned, and the site left in good shape. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to on every job, large or small.

  • Clear scope and communication up front
  • Licensed electrical work to Ontario code
  • Own equipment for access and lifts
  • Practical planning around facility schedules
  • Finish ready for game day or occupancy

Our equipment

We own most of what we need on site — so the job isn’t held up waiting for a rental.

Crane

For pole work, high-mast lighting, heavy lifts, and controlled installs on sports and industrial sites.

Aerial Boom Trucks

Basket and boom access for fixture hanging, re-lamping, scoreboard work, and elevated commercial service.

Site & Support Gear

The tools and equipment our crews need for underground, panel work, and day-to-day electrical installs.

Why It Matters

Owning the equipment means better scheduling, fewer third-party delays, and consistent quality from our own operators.

What we do

Electrical contracting with a strong focus on sports lighting, commercial work, and reliable site delivery.

Sports Lighting, Venues & Scoreboards

Sports field lighting, high mast systems, arenas, velodromes, scoreboards, aerial re-lamping, and outdoor packages. Over 150 sports lighting installations completed.

Commercial & Industrial

Electrical maintenance and construction for commercial and industrial clients — panels, distribution, rooftop equipment, fit-outs, and ongoing service.

New Construction & Infrastructure

Site electrical infrastructure including underground conduit, duct banks, pole foundations, and coordination with general contractors on new builds.

Own Equipment

Crane, aerial boom trucks, and site gear so we control access, scheduling, and quality on every job.

Safety & Compliance

Safety is not a slogan — it is how we plan and execute work.

COR® 2020 Focus

We are actively developing and maintaining our occupational health and safety program toward COR® 2020 certification standards.

Licensed & Code Compliant

All electrical work is performed by a licensed contractor to the Ontario Electrical Safety Code. ESA Licence #7002769 — licensing is non-negotiable on every job.

Job Planning & Training

From pre-job assessments and safe work procedures to ongoing training, we treat planning as part of quality delivery.

Own Equipment

Owning most of our crane and aerial assets means we control access methods and reduce reliance on third-party equipment for critical lifts and high work.

Map of Ontario — Sentry Electric works province-wide from Innisfil

Where we work

Based in Innisfil, we work all around Ontario:

  • Innisfil, Barrie, and Simcoe County
  • Central and southern Ontario
  • Sports fields, parks, and municipal facilities province-wide
  • Commercial, industrial, and construction sites across the province

Wherever the project is, you get the same family-run approach: great work, friendly people, and crews that show up ready with the right equipment.

What we stand for

Quality workmanship, friendly service, and accountability. Being family-owned and operated means you’re never just a number — and we take that seriously.

We own most of our own equipment so we can control the schedule and the quality. We work all across Ontario because good clients and good projects aren’t limited to one town.
