Electric motors are essential components in a wide range of applications, from industrial machinery to household appliances. When these motors experience issues, motor rewinding is an effective solution. But what exactly is motor rewinding, and how can it benefit you? At Gilbert-McEachern Electric, we specialize in providing top-tier motor rewinding services, and we're here to explain the process and its advantages.

What is Motor Rewinding?

Motor rewinding is a meticulous repair process that addresses shorted, grounded, or damaged coils within an electric motor. This involves carefully removing the damaged windings and replacing them with new ones to restore the motor to peak performance. It’s an ideal solution for motors that are underperforming or have stopped working.

Our 2022 Charity BBQ and Tradeshow was a great success. We had an amazing time discussing the industry and it was fun watching everyone spend time together and reconnect.

We want to thank the following vendors for coming:

Electrowind

Weg

ABB

Techtop

Thank you to everyone who donated prizes or bought raffle tickets. Your generous donations raised $2000 for the Brant Community Healthcare system!

Finally, thank you to Strodes BBQ & Deli for catering another fantastic meal this year. We look forward to next year’s event!

GME opened our doors in the mid-40s, machining parts for the war out of Reg’s basement. We eventually moved to “the motor palace on Alice” as our business grew and transitioned more to serving the local community. We have seen steady growth over the years and are blessed with extremely loyal customers and a growing team that always goes above and beyond – that’s whyin 2020, we began new renovations to provide even more space so we can continue offering the best service possible.

From the entire team at Gilbert-McEachern Electric, we want to thank you for a brilliant 75years! We plan to continue delivering the same reliable parts and services you’ve come to depend on for at least 75 more.

This year has seen many exciting changes for us at Gilbert-McEachern Electric! If you have been to visit us recently, you know our facility is looking a little different. Leading up to our 75^th anniversary of serving this fine community, we thought the timing was perfect for an upgrade. That’s why we contracted Abcott Construction Ltd., another locally owned company with a great history of building in our community.

Together we are improving our ability to serve our customers with: a better parking lot including accessible parking, improved entrance with a ramp, new welcome desk, easily accessible loading and unloading dock, larger shop area so our team has more room to work, and more rooms means more ability to improve our turn-around times and capacity!

At Gilbert-McEachern Electric, we are continuing to serve our valued customers throughout the construction process.  We are eager to see how these improvements will increase or ability to provide unmatched service for 75 more years to come.

At Gilbert McEachern Electric we are proud to support our local healthcare system through the Weigh Your Scrap and Give Back campaign. Set up through the Ontario Electrical League in conjunction with Reclaim Solutions Incorporated, members are asked to donate between 10-100% of their scrap metal. If you are interested in a barrel to support this great cause, Reclaim Solutions Incorporated will come drop it off at your location. Once your barrel is full, Reclaim Solutions Incorporated will come and weigh the donated scrap metal, determining its value. All funds raised will be donated to the Brant Community Healthcare System Foundation. Funds will be used to invest in new and innovated medical technology and to purchase necessary patient equipment for the Brantford General Hospital and The Willett Hospital. We thank all those who participate for their donation and continued support in this great initiative.
