Editorial Review
Our Take on Platinum Power Solutions Ltd.
The review record is the strongest signal here, 4.9 across 184 Google reviews for a company that is clearly still building, and the service list maps neatly onto what Winnipeg's older housing actually needs. We like that pricing is given on site after an assessment rather than guessed at over the phone. Treat the combined experience claim and the 5 to 10 year warranty as things to pin down in writing before signing.
Best forpanel and service upgrades in older Winnipeg homes, plus genuine after-hours electrical calls
What We Like
- 4.9 rating from 184 reviews on its Google Business Profile, read September 30, 2026
- Published hours show availability 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with a separate after-hours line
- Clear specialisation in upgrade work: panels, knob and tube removal, generators, EV chargers, hot tub circuits
- Handles both residential and light commercial, so small business work is not an afterthought
- States upfront pricing given on site before work starts, plus a 5 to 10 year workmanship warranty
- Annual protection plans available for scheduled inspections and priority booking
Things to Consider
- The claim of 15 years is described as combined team experience, not one electrician's tenure, so ask who will attend
- Emergency and after-hours calls typically carry a premium; confirm the rate before booking
- Knob and tube removal involves opening walls, and patching and painting are usually a separate trade
- Warranty terms and what the 5 to 10 year range depends on should be confirmed in writing

Company Background
About Platinum Power Solutions Ltd.
A service upgrade is the job that brings most Winnipeg homeowners into contact with an electrician for the first time. The old 60 amp service that ran a fridge, a few lights and a radio does not cope with a heat pump, a hot tub and an EV in the driveway, and Manitoba Hydro will have views on how the new service enters the building. Platinum Power Solutions Ltd. lists panel upgrades as one of its core offerings, alongside knob and tube removal, generator installation, EV charger installation and hot tub wiring, which together describe the upgrade path a lot of River Heights, Wolseley and North End houses are working through.
Knob and tube deserves its own mention because of what it does to insurance. Many carriers will not write a policy on a house still running original cloth-sheathed wiring on ceramic insulators, and those that will often want proof of replacement or an inspection. Removal is disruptive work. Walls get opened, plaster gets patched by someone else afterwards, and the cost depends heavily on attic and basement access. Anyone quoting that job should be walking the house, not pricing it over the phone, and the company's stated process involves an on-site assessment with pricing given before the work begins.
The commercial side is described as building maintenance programs, larger system upgrades, public space power, new construction wiring, and code compliance work. That is light to mid commercial territory rather than industrial, which for most Winnipeg tenants is exactly the right scale. Retail units on Osborne, a multi-unit block in the Exchange, a restaurant that needs additional circuits for new kitchen equipment, all of it involves permits, inspection scheduling and doing the noisy part outside business hours.
The hours are the other thing worth noting. Published hours show open 24 hours every day of the week, and the website carries a separate after-hours number for urgent calls when the office is closed. Emergency electrical in this city is often weather-driven. A January storm drops a service mast, a summer thunderstorm takes out a panel, an aluminum-wired connection in a 1970s house starts to overheat and someone smells something burning at eleven at night. Genuine around-the-clock capacity matters in those moments, though it is fair to expect an after-hours call-out to carry a premium, and asking what that premium is before agreeing to a visit is simply good practice.
On the record, the Google Business Profile shows 4.9 from 184 reviews, read on September 30, 2026. That volume suggests a company doing steady residential work rather than a handful of large contracts, and the average is high. It also links a BBB profile, a Facebook page, LinkedIn and Instagram, and describes community sponsorship of the Selkirk Steelers and Manitoba Bisons. Its own material claims over 15 years of combined trade experience, which is a phrase worth reading carefully: combined experience across a team is not the same as a single electrician with fifteen years behind them, so ask who will actually be on site.
Good questions before hiring anyone for this kind of work: is the electrician attending a licensed journeyman, will the company pull the permit and arrange the inspection, what exactly does the workmanship warranty cover and is it written down, and is the quote fixed or an estimate that can move once the walls are open. For a service upgrade, ask who coordinates with Manitoba Hydro and how long the power will be off. Platinum Power Solutions Ltd. states upfront pricing and stocked vehicles intended to finish the job on the first visit, so a clear written scope should be easy to obtain.
Compared with the alternatives in this market, the choice generally runs between the large established Winnipeg firms with dispatch teams and flat-rate books, and single-van operators who are cheaper but harder to reach on a Sunday. This one sits in between, structured enough to have a client portal and protection plans, small enough that the person quoting is likely the person working. Homeowners chasing the lowest possible number on a simple fixture swap may find a one-person outfit cheaper. For upgrade work, insurance-driven rewiring and after-hours faults, the trade-off looks reasonable.

Platinum Power Solutions Ltd. FAQs
Is Platinum Power Solutions Ltd. actually available 24 hours?
Published hours show open 24 hours a day, every day of the week, and the website lists a separate number for urgent calls when the office is closed. The main line is (431) 866-9653. As with any electrical contractor, expect after-hours attendance to be priced differently from a scheduled daytime visit, so ask for the call-out rate when you phone.
How is it rated?
Its Google Business Profile shows 4.9 out of 5 from 184 reviews, read on September 30, 2026. That is a high average on a meaningful volume of reviews. The company also links a Better Business Bureau profile along with Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram pages.
Do they handle knob and tube wiring removal for insurance purposes?
Yes, knob and tube removal is one of the services it lists. Many insurers in Manitoba will not write or renew a policy on a house still running original knob and tube, so removal is often driven by a coverage deadline. Pricing depends on how accessible your attic, basement and wall cavities are, which is why the job should be quoted after a walkthrough rather than over the phone. Plaster repair and painting are usually handled by another trade afterwards.
Can they do a panel upgrade on an older Winnipeg home?
Panel upgrades are a core service line. Older properties across the city still run 60 or 100 amp services that struggle with modern loads like EV charging, hot tubs and electric heat. Upgrading involves a permit, an inspection and coordination with Manitoba Hydro for the service connection, so ask who arranges each of those and how long your power will be off on the day.
Do they work with businesses or only houses?
Both. The commercial side is described as building maintenance programs, larger electrical upgrades, public space power, new construction wiring, and code compliance and inspection work, covering multi-unit buildings and retail locations. That points to light and mid-sized commercial jobs rather than heavy industrial installations.
What should I ask before booking?
Confirm that a licensed journeyman will be doing the work, whether the price quoted is fixed or an estimate, who pulls the permit and books the inspection, and exactly what the workmanship warranty covers. The company states it provides upfront pricing after an on-site assessment, so a written scope should be straightforward to get. If the job is after hours, get the call-out charge confirmed first.
Are there any discounts?
Its website advertises 10 percent off for seniors and what it calls hometown heroes, and mentions annual protection plans that include priority scheduling and preventative inspections. Terms and eligibility are not detailed in what we reviewed, so confirm both directly when you request a quote.
Is Platinum Power Solutions Ltd. 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 Platinum Power Solutions Ltd. 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 Platinum Power Solutions Ltd. 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.
