Power Outages. Reliable Backup.

Safe Generator Power Systems.

Power outages can interrupt heating, refrigeration, lighting, other essential systems, business equipment, and network infrastructure. A properly installed generator allows your property to maintain critical electrical functions during outages. Our electricians install backup power systems designed to operate safely and automatically when utility power is lost, using transfer switches that prevent unsafe backfeeding into the electrical grid.

Automatic Transfer Switch Installation

Transfer switches safely isolate your electrical system from the grid and automatically connect generator power when outages occur, helping protect utility workers, electrical equipment, and your property from unsafe backfeed conditions.

Dedicated Generator Circuits

Generators require properly sized circuits that safely distribute backup power to essential electrical loads, allowing priority systems such as heating equipment, refrigeration, sump pumps, lighting, and communications systems to remain operational during outages.

Code Compliant Generator Wiring

All generator installations are completed to current Manitoba electrical code with appropriate electrical protection, grounding, electrical permits where required, and safe integration with existing breaker panels and electrical systems.

Reliable Emergency Power

Professionally installed generators provide dependable backup power during storms, grid failures, or unexpected outages. Standby generator systems can automatically restore power to selected circuits or whole property electrical systems when utility power fails.

Get In Touch With Us

How fast can you arrive for an emergency service?

We offer true 24/7 emergency support. In most Winnipeg areas, a certified electrician can arrive within 60 to 90 minutes, depending on location and severity. If the situation involves smoke, burning smells, or a safety hazard, we prioritize your call immediately.

Will I know the cost before electrical work starts?

Yes. You always receive upfront, itemized pricing before any work begins. There are no hidden fees, no surprise charges, and no pressure. You approve everything in writing before we start.

Do you offer warranties for homeowners?

Absolutely. All residential electrical work includes a 5 to 10 year workmanship warranty, plus standard manufacturer warranties on parts and equipment. Members of our Protection Plan also receive extended coverage, providing clear details about what is covered.

How do I know if my panel needs upgrading?

Common signs include frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, warm outlets, buzzing panels, or limited capacity for new appliances or EV chargers. We can perform a full load calculation (a professional assessment of your system’s capacity and safety) to confirm whether an upgrade is needed.

Can I see examples of your work?

Yes. You can view completed residential electrical projects on our website, including panel upgrades, EV charger installs, lighting projects, and full-home rewiring. We can also provide references upon request.

How does your installation process work?

We start with a quick assessment and upfront quote, followed by scheduling. On installation day, our licensed electricians arrive fully stocked, complete the work efficiently, perform full testing, and walk you through everything before leaving.

How much will it cost, and what’s included?

Pricing depends on your home’s requirements, but every quote includes labor, materials, permits if required, cleanup, and full testing. No hourly guessing games. You get a clear, fixed cost before work begins.

What happens if there’s a problem after the job?

Just call us. All workmanship is covered by a 5-10 year warranty, and Protection Plan members receive priority scheduling and discounted repairs. If something wasn’t done perfectly, we fix it at no charge.

AMAZING!! That’s the word that I’d use to describe Platinum and their crew. Brandon, Adam and Harrison are consummate professionals. Always on time, hard working and no messing around. They had a job to do and they did it perfectly. We had some knob and tube wiring to be replaced. A terrible job, in our older home, that they completed ahead of schedule and cleaned up after. Platinum Power Solutions is the only electrical company that I’d call for any further work.

Harrison B. did a great job installing 2 new plugs in our mechanical room and making sure the appropriate electrical lines were rendered safe for an upcoming reframing. Would highly recommend him and Platinum in addressing your electrical needs.
