Electrician in River Heights

River Heights has some of the finest homes in Winnipeg — and some of the oldest electrical systems. The majority of homes in the neighbourhood were built between the 1910s and 1940s, which means knob-and-tube wiring, 60-amp fuse panels, no grounding, and insulation that’s been crumbling for decades. It’s also one of Winnipeg’s most active real estate markets, which means pre-purchase electrical inspections are a constant request from buyers who don’t want to discover K&T after closing.

The insurance pressure in River Heights is real. More insurers are requiring K&T removal as a condition of writing or renewing a policy on these homes. If you’ve received that notice — or you’re buying a River Heights home and the inspector flagged the wiring — that’s the work we do.

What River Heights Homes Typically Need

The most common project in River Heights is a knob-and-tube removal paired with a panel upgrade — replacing the original wiring throughout the house with modern NMD90 cable, installing a 200-amp breaker panel, and adding proper grounding. For homes that have already had the K&T partially addressed over the years, a full rewire catches everything that was missed.

Even homes where the K&T has been dealt with often still have undersized panels, ungrounded outlets, and circuits that can’t handle modern appliance loads. A panel upgrade and additional circuits bring a 1930s home up to the capacity it needs for a 2020s lifestyle.
