How It Works

Our Panel Upgrade Process

We keep the process straightforward so Winnipeg homeowners know exactly what to expect from start to finish.

01Step 1

Home Assessment

We visit your home, evaluate your existing panel, and discuss your current and future electrical needs to determine the right upgrade path.

02Step 2

Scope and Planning

We confirm the panel size, circuit layout, and any coordination required with Manitoba Hydro before scheduling your installation date.

03Step 3

Panel Installation

Our team removes the old panel, installs the new 200-amp service, connects and labels all circuits, and ensures everything meets code requirements.

04Step 4

Final Inspection and Walkthrough

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

Panel Upgrade Questions Answered

Common questions get answered quickly so the page feels more trustworthy before someone reaches out.

Q1

How do I know if my panel needs an upgrade?

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

What size panel does my Winnipeg home need?

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

How long does a panel upgrade typically take?

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

Does a panel upgrade require a permit in Winnipeg?

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

Will my power be off during the upgrade?

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

Can a panel upgrade support an EV charger installation?

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

Is a panel upgrade different from rewiring my home?

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.
