Editorial Review
Our Take on Expert Electric
The combination of a 4.9 average across 668 Google reviews and a specialism in knob and tube and aluminum wiring puts this outfit squarely in the path of what Winnipeg homeowners most often need. Seven-day hours are a genuine practical advantage. The free inspection, $99 insurance report and lifetime workmanship warranty are all company claims, so treat them as starting points for a conversation rather than settled terms.
Best forrewiring older Winnipeg homes and clearing insurance wiring conditions
What We Like
- 4.9 rating from 668 reviews on its Google Business Profile, read September 30, 2026
- Open 7 AM to 8 PM every day, weekends included, per published hours
- Deep focus on knob and tube removal, aluminum wiring and full house rewires
- Trading since 1994 according to its own website
- Handles insurance inspection reports, a common Manitoba requirement on older homes
- Covers residential, commercial and industrial electrical work from one Portage Avenue base
Things to Consider
- The free inspection, $99 report and lifetime workmanship warranty are the company's own claims and should be confirmed in writing
- No 24 hour emergency service or after-hours pricing is published, so ask before you need it
- Public reviews skew heavily residential, so industrial clients should ask about comparable projects
- Drywall repair after a rewire is often excluded by electricians generally; clarify who patches

Company Background
About Expert Electric
Winnipeg has a lot of houses that were wired before anyone imagined a heat pump, a hot tub and four charging phones in the same building. Wolseley, West End, North End, Elmwood, St. Boniface: streets full of stock from the 1900s through the 1950s, some still carrying knob and tube runs in the attic, others fitted with aluminum branch wiring during the 1960s and 70s building boom. That is the backdrop for most of what expert electric does, and the service list on its website reads accordingly, with home rewiring, knob and tube removal, aluminum wiring work, service upgrades and panel changes all given their own pages.
The company operates from 2177 Portage Ave and says it has been providing electrical services since 1994. Its Google Business Profile shows a 4.9 rating from 668 reviews, read on September 30, 2026. That review count matters more than the number itself. A high average over a handful of jobs tells you little; several hundred reviews suggest a steady stream of residential work over years rather than a run of good luck, and the reviews visible on the company's own site repeatedly name the same people, an owner called Chuck, an office contact called Michelle, and field staff working in pairs on larger rewires.
Alongside house rewires, the listed range covers commercial electrical contracting, industrial service, electrical upgrading, surge protection, LED lighting and smart home devices, home insurance inspections and EV charger installation. That last one has become a common call in Winnipeg, partly because of cold weather charging habits and partly because many older garages are fed by a single small subpanel that cannot carry a Level 2 charger without an upgrade upstream. Expect any honest quote for a charger in an older home to include a look at the main service, not just the run to the garage.
Insurance is the other reason people phone an electrician here. Manitoba insurers and brokers routinely ask for an inspection report before they will bind or renew coverage on an older house, and knob and tube or aluminum wiring can stop a policy in its tracks. The website advertises free home electrical inspections and insurance reports for $99, which is the sort of offer worth pinning down on the phone: ask what the free inspection covers, whether the $99 report is the document your insurer actually wants, and what happens to that fee if you go on to hire them for the remediation.
The published hours are unusual and useful. Seven days a week, 7 AM to 8 PM, which means a Saturday morning booking or an early evening visit is a normal request rather than a favour. The profile does not describe a separate 24 hour emergency line or after-hours rates, so if you have a dead panel at midnight, ask directly what the call-out arrangement is and what the premium looks like.
A few questions are worth asking before you commit, whoever you hire in this city. Who holds the electrical contractor licence and will the permit be pulled in their name, with the City of Winnipeg or Manitoba Hydro inspection arranged by them. Is the quote fixed or time and materials once walls open up, because old lath and plaster rarely gives up its secrets on the first pass. How is drywall patching handled after a rewire, since many electricians leave the repairs to you. And get the advertised lifetime workmanship warranty in writing, with its exclusions, rather than relying on the headline.
On fit, expert electric looks strongest for homeowners in the older neighbourhoods dealing with a full rewire, a service upgrade to 100 or 200 amps, or a wiring condition attached to an insurance policy. Landlords and real estate agents needing fixtures and inspections turned around quickly appear well served too, judging by the reviews. Buyers hunting the absolute lowest hourly rate for a single outlet swap may do better with a one-van operator, and anyone with a large industrial project should ask specifically about crew size and comparable jobs, since the residential side clearly dominates the public record. Compared with the larger plumbing-and-electrical franchises working Winnipeg, this is a more focused electrical shop with a long trading history and a visibly deep review file.

Expert Electric FAQs
Does Expert Electric work weekends in Winnipeg?
Yes, published hours show 7 AM to 8 PM seven days a week, Saturday and Sunday included. That makes early morning and evening appointments a normal booking rather than an exception. The profile does not list a separate 24 hour emergency line, so if you need overnight response, ask on the phone what the call-out arrangement and any after-hours premium would be.
How is expert electric rated?
Its Google Business Profile showed a 4.9 rating from 668 reviews when read on September 30, 2026. The volume is notable for a single-city electrical contractor and suggests years of steady residential work. Reviews on the company's own website mention the owner and office staff by name, which tends to indicate consistent crews rather than rotating subcontractors.
Do they remove knob and tube or aluminum wiring?
Both have dedicated pages on the company website, along with full home rewiring. This is common work in Winnipeg, where pre-1950s housing in areas like Wolseley and the North End can still carry knob and tube, and homes from the 1960s and 70s often have aluminum branch circuits. Insurers frequently require one or both to be addressed before coverage.
What does an insurance electrical inspection cost?
The website advertises free home electrical inspections and insurance reports at $99. Those are the company's own published figures, so confirm what each includes when you call, and check with your broker that the report format satisfies your insurer. Ask also whether the report fee is credited if you proceed with remediation work.
Can they install an EV charger at an older Winnipeg house?
EV charger installation is on the service list. In older homes the deciding factor is usually the main service and panel capacity rather than the charger itself, since many detached garages here run off a small subpanel. Expect a proper quote to assess your service size and possibly recommend an upgrade before the charger is wired.
Is there a warranty on the work?
The company advertises a lifetime warranty on all workmanship. Treat that as a claim to verify rather than a settled term, and ask for the written policy with its exclusions, transfer conditions and what counts as workmanship versus a failed manufacturer part. Also ask who pulls the electrical permit and arranges inspection, as that should be the contractor's responsibility.
Who is this electrician a good fit for?
Owners of older Winnipeg houses facing a rewire, a panel or service upgrade, or an insurance condition on their wiring. Landlords and agents needing fixtures and inspections done quickly also appear well served. Anyone chasing the lowest possible price on a single small repair may find a solo operator cheaper, and large industrial projects warrant a direct conversation about crew capacity.
Is Expert Electric licensed and insured?
We have no credential records on file for this company yet. Ask for the certificate directly from the insurer before booking work.
What areas does Expert Electric serve?
Winnipeg. Coverage is as the business describes it, cross-checked against where its recent documented work is. Confirm your address before scheduling, particularly at the edge of a service area.
Does Expert Electric offer emergency service?
Emergency availability is not listed for this company. If you need an urgent call-out, check the ranking for companies that do list it.
What warranty do they offer?
Warranty terms are not on file. Ask for them in writing before work starts.
