Manitoba winters bring outages. A properly installed transfer switch means your generator kicks in safely — no extension cords through a window.
The generator is only half the system. Without a properly installed transfer switch, backfeeding your home's wiring is dangerous to you and to any utility worker on the line. We install the electrical side correctly.
Permanently installed units with an automatic transfer switch — power restores itself without you going outside.
A manual transfer switch and inlet lets you safely power selected circuits from a portable unit.
Detects the outage, switches over, and switches back when utility power returns. No manual steps.
A more affordable option that covers a chosen set of critical circuits — furnace, sump, fridge, well pump.
Well pumps and septic systems make backup power more critical outside town. We do a lot of this work in the Interlake.
We help you decide which circuits actually need to be on backup — usually fewer than people expect.
Whole-home backup is the most expensive option and often unnecessary. Furnace, sump pump, fridge, freezer, and well pump cover most real needs during a Manitoba outage.
An automatic transfer switch costs more but requires nothing from you during an outage. A manual switch is significantly cheaper and works fine if you're home and willing to flip it.
Undersizing is the most common mistake. We work out the actual starting and running loads of the circuits you want covered before you buy a unit.
For a natural gas standby unit, the gas connection is a separate licensed trade from the electrical work. We coordinate but don't perform the gas fitting.

Generator work books up fast in the fall. Get ahead of it.
