Oct. 19, 2011 - Due to unavailability of enough properly

skilled residential electricians and also difficulties in getting 

 city inspectors to inspect the work quicker, PRESENTLY 

 I have dowsized my operations and I am doing ONLY electrical service upgrades to

100 or 200 amperes in homes and in commercial buildings.

I may also help you in completing properly your resident home owner "self

home rewiring for a very small fee" - subject to my own special set up.

I may also be availaable to do a home insurance required wiring inspection & report

or for you to know details about the electrical installation before buying a home or also very benificial if

you are selling your home!.  Until further notice, that is ALL I do.

There is a PREPAID $100.00 charge to do estimates other than for a service upgrade which may be for rewwiring etc.  Also, depending on time available in the fall, we may do knob & tube REPLACEMENT wiring or rewiring of older homes. This is all I do - as of Oct. 19, 2011. SERVICE UPGRADES   ALL essential power for heating, lighting etc. will be "KEPT ON" at all times while a service upgrade is being done. Only a period (if any at all) of 1-2hrs of a total power shut down may be required"  The service upgrade work is scheduled according to your time line, I work Saturdays. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The minimum cost of a 100 amperes residential service upgrade, as of June 05 -  2011 is  approx. $1,900.00 One of the price affecting factors is how many circuits there are to reconnect back to the new panel and the length of the outside conduit being run including if a MAST above the roof is also required. No two service upgrades are ever alike. A 200 amp. may cost approx. $400 to $600 more. - an EXACT  price for a service upgrade will be given after viewing the work on site - MOST service upgrade estimates are free! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We also apply for the City of Winnipeg property tax rebate when available! (UPDATE: Mar 31, 2009 )- MB Hydro financing  is available. Interest rates  were lowered to 8.5% for general electrical renovations/upgrades and  4.9% for power smart electrical and other renovations.  ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: In most cases ONLY urgent needed work for approximately 3-10 hours may also may be possible to be done as long as I am doing a service upgrade at the same time! Any extra work not decided or not set out initially may NOT BE POSSIBLE OR may only  be done about 2 - 4 weeks later. Any other work, 3-10 hours, should be included in the INITIAL estimate special package with already special lower prices. Extra work decided later will be at regular prices. Such urgent needed work, 3-10 hours or even longer!, may be limited to (in residential): a receptacle in the kitchen, a washer receptacle, an outdoor receptacle, replacing a defective light fixture, replacement of SOME of the knob & tube wiring or any thing else similar which is regarded as urgent.  For more current updates, availability etc. check ..........
