Six things we are asked for most
Every job is quoted in writing, permitted where the Manitoba Electrical Code requires it, and left tidy. No surprise line items on the invoice.

Who you are hiring
A small crew that answers its own phone
Northline started in a garage off Fife Street with one van and a licence. We still run lean on purpose: the person who quotes your job is the person who shows up to do it, and you get their cell number rather than a dispatch queue.
Most of our work comes from homeowners in River Heights, St. Vital and Transcona, plus a steady list of property managers who need someone reliable when a panel starts tripping at seven on a Sunday morning. We turn down more work than we take so the jobs we accept get finished properly.
- Written quotes with a fixed price, not a range
- Permits pulled and inspections booked by us
- Boots off, drop sheets down, debris hauled out
- Two-year workmanship warranty on every install
The paperwork, up front
- Contractor licence MB E-0000 (placeholder)
- Liability $5,000,000
- WCB Manitoba Clearance on request
- Service area Winnipeg + 60 km
- Regular hours Mon–Fri, 7am–5pm
- Emergency 24 hours, every day
Certificates of insurance and clearance letters are sent with every commercial quote.
How a job runs
Four steps, no guessing
You should know what happens next at every stage. This is the same sequence whether it is a single receptacle or a full commercial fit-up.
01
Call or send photos
Most quotes start with three photos: the panel, the meter and the area you want worked on. We reply the same business day.
02
Site visit and fixed quote
We measure, check the load and write a fixed price. It lists the materials, the permit cost and the days we need the space.
03
Permits and the work
We pull the electrical permit, book the utility disconnect if one is needed, and give you a start date we actually keep.
04
Inspection and handover
The inspector signs off, you get the closed permit, a labelled panel directory and photos of anything now behind drywall.
What clients say
Referrals do most of our advertising
Our 1952 panel finally gave up in February. Northline had a temporary feed in that afternoon and the new 200 amp service inspected within the week.
D. Chartrand, Norwood Flats
They relamped three of our buildings over two weekends without a single tenant complaint, and the incentive paperwork was filed before we asked about it.
M. Oyelaran, property manager
The quote was the price. That has not been my experience with other trades, and it is why the whole renovation went to them.
S. Friesen, River Heights
Where we work
Winnipeg, and about an hour past it
No travel charge inside the Perimeter. Outside it, mileage is quoted before we book the visit so it never turns up as a surprise on the invoice.
