Colyn came down quick for a free estimate. House was just sold and buyers had a "home inspection" done a day ago. Apparently, my house still has old aluminum wiring and needed to be copper pigtailed. Colyn was super…

A full home rewire is a significant project. Here is what to expect when you work with Prairie Forge Electric.
We visit the property, assess the existing wiring condition, panel setup, and scope of work before providing a written quote.
Prairie Forge Electric handles the permit filing with the local authority so the work is inspection-ready from the start.
New circuits are run through walls and ceilings. All wiring is placed before drywall is closed, keeping disruption manageable and the work accessible for inspection.
Once rough-in passes inspection, we connect circuits at the panel and install all outlets, switches, and fixtures per the project scope.
The completed work is inspected, and we walk you through the new system so you understand your panel layout and circuit locations.
Find clear answers about service options, scheduling, preparation, and what to expect before you request an estimate.
Q1
Common signs include flickering lights, frequently tripped breakers, two-prong outlets, visible knob-and-tube wiring in the attic, or a home built before the 1970s that has never had its wiring updated. A site visit gives a clearer picture.
Q2
Yes. Electrical work of this scope requires a permit through Manitoba Hydro or the local authority having jurisdiction. Prairie Forge Electric manages that process as part of the project.
Q3
That depends on the size of the home and how the work is phased. For most projects we can work room by room, but there will be periods without power. We discuss the timeline with you before work begins.
Q4
Most single-family homes take between three and seven days of on-site work, depending on square footage, the number of circuits, and access within the walls. Older homes with more complex layouts can take longer.
Q5
Yes. Prairie Forge Electric serves Steinbach, Niverville, Ste Anne, East St. Paul, Headingley, Blumenort, and Winnipeg, along with other Manitoba communities in the surrounding region.
Q6
Sometimes. If the existing panel is undersized or outdated, we will include a panel upgrade as part of the scope. This gets assessed during the initial site visit and reflected in the quote.
Q7
Absolutely. A rewire is a good time to plan for a dedicated EV charger circuit, hot tub connection, or other high-draw appliances since the walls are already open and the panel is being updated.
Q8
We install copper wiring rated for residential use, run to current Canadian Electrical Code standards. Aluminum branch wiring is not used in our rewire projects.
Call Prairie Forge Electric at (204) 400-5990 or send a message to info@prairieforgeelectric.ca to schedule a site assessment for your Manitoba home.
Prairie Forge Electric provides residential electrical services across Winnipeg and surrounding Manitoba communities, including panel upgrades, EV charger installations, and full home rewires.
