Electrical Service Upgrades

Is Your Panel Keeping Up?

Winnipeg homes are working harder than ever. Between high-efficiency air conditioners for our humid summers and the increasing shift toward electric heat pumps and EV chargers, many older 60-amp and 100-amp panels are simply maxed out. If you’re experiencing frequent breaker trips or flickering lights when the dryer kicks in, your home is telling you it’s time for an electrical service upgrade.

Camco Electric is a leader in residential power distribution. We coordinate directly with Manitoba Hydro to transition your home from an outdated system to a robust 200-amp service. This isn't just about convenience; it's about property value and safety. A modern breaker panel with AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) protection is your home's first line of defense against electrical fires.

Why Upgrade to 200 Amps?

  • Secondary Suites: Essential for legal basement suites or "granny flats."
  • Luxury Additions: Necessary for hot tubs, steam showers, and central AC.
  • EV Readiness: Most Level 2 home chargers require a dedicated 40-50 amp circuit, which often necessitates a panel upgrade.

Service Upgrade FAQ

How long will my power be out during an upgrade?

Typically, the power is disconnected in the morning and restored by late afternoon. We coordinate with Manitoba Hydro to ensure the downtime is as short as possible.

Is a 200-amp upgrade worth it for a smaller home?

Yes. Future buyers in the Winnipeg market are increasingly looking for "EV-ready" homes. A 200-amp panel is a major selling point.
