Thank you for the kind review Alonso! We’re so glad to hear Alexi and Braeden made such a great impression—and that your dogs approved too. Absolutely reach out anytime you need an electrician in Winnipeg!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Recently I had Kennedy from Knight Electric fix a light switch and replace a bathroom fan. He was so pleasant and showed me pictures of my electrical panel, explained how things work and made some suggestions but never pushed and fixed everything I needed fixed. At one point he needed a part and had to leave to get it but came right back to finish the job! The company sends a picture of the electrician before he gets there which in this day and age is a wonderful bonus. The receptionist who took my booking was also lovely to deal with. I will definitely use them again!

We’re glad he took the time to explain everything clearly and get the job done right, and that you appreciated the photo notification and friendly booking process. We’ll be sure to share your kind words—thanks for choosing Knight Electric to be your Winnipeg Electrician!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very responsive. Extremely neat and organized. Detail orientated. End results are perfect, everything tucked away and lined up. We hired them to install new breaker box, hot tub electrical, ev charger and outdoor camera. Cost a decent penny but I would do it again for the professionalism , quality work, and peace of mind. When permits needed approving and inspectors came, they all had positive things to say about Knight electric stating we picked the best in the city. I'd agree! An unusual situation to no fault of Knight Electric, the city of winnipeg had an emergency so they couldn't come turn power back on until 3am. The electrician stayed the whole time (outside in their vehicle), offered us battery pack lights, and waited until the city came at 3am to inspect and turn power back on. The employees were all very personable and friendly. 10/10!

Panel Upgrade FAQ’s
When should I upgrade my electrical panel?
Consider upgrading if your panel is over 25 years old, you experience frequent breaker trips, lights flicker when appliances start, or you’re adding high-demand appliances like EV chargers or planning renovations.
What size panel should I upgrade to?
Most Winnipeg homes benefit from 200-amp panels, which provide adequate capacity for modern electrical demands and future expansion. We perform proper load calculations to ensure correct sizing for your specific needs.
How long does a panel upgrade take?
Your power will be off for the duration of install day while we replace the panel, run tests, and complete the work. Most upgrades take one full day, depending on the complexity of your existing electrical system.
