How It Works
We keep the process straightforward so Winnipeg homeowners know exactly what to expect from start to finish.
We visit your home, evaluate your existing panel, and discuss your current and future electrical needs to determine the right upgrade path.
We confirm the panel size, circuit layout, and any coordination required with Manitoba Hydro before scheduling your installation date.
Our team removes the old panel, installs the new 200-amp service, connects and labels all circuits, and ensures everything meets code requirements.
Once installation is complete, we walk you through your new panel so you understand the setup and feel confident in your upgraded electrical system.
Frequently asked
Common questions get answered quickly so the page feels more trustworthy before someone reaches out.
Q1
Common signs include frequently tripped breakers, a panel with fewer than 20 circuits, an older fuse box, or plans to add high-draw equipment like an EV charger or hot tub. A site assessment helps confirm whether an upgrade is necessary.
Q2
Most modern homes benefit from a 200-amp panel. This supports today's appliances, electric vehicle chargers, and future additions. We assess your existing load and planned usage to recommend the right capacity.
Q3
Most panel upgrades are completed in a single day. More complex jobs involving additional circuit work or coordination with Manitoba Hydro may take longer. We'll give you a clear timeline before work begins.
Q4
Yes, electrical panel upgrades in Winnipeg require a permit. Knight Electric handles the necessary steps and ensures all work meets Manitoba electrical code requirements.
Q5
Yes, your home's power will need to be off for the duration of the panel installation. We work efficiently to minimize downtime and coordinate the service reconnection with Manitoba Hydro as smoothly as possible.
Q6
Absolutely. A 200-amp panel upgrade is often the right first step before installing a Level 2 EV charger. Knight Electric offers both services and can plan the upgrade to accommodate your charger's dedicated circuit.
Q7
Yes. A panel upgrade replaces or expands your main breaker panel, while whole-home rewiring replaces the wiring throughout the house. They can be done together or separately depending on your home's needs.
