In-House Electrical Contracting by North Star Electric

North Star Electric is a full-service electrical contractor based in St Andrews, working across Winnipeg and the Interlake since 2016. We started the way a lot of good trades do, with one electrician who would rather do the whole job properly than hand pieces of it to someone else. That idea still runs the business: our own crew, our own equipment, and one team accountable for the work from the first quote to the final inspection.

We cover a lot of ground because our customers do. In a single week we might upgrade a panel in an older Winnipeg home, wire a new cottage on the lake, troubleshoot a barn for a farm client, and keep the lights on in an apartment building for a property manager like Smith Agency or Quality Management. Residential, commercial, agricultural, we handle all of it, line voltage and low voltage, from EV chargers and rewires to cameras, network, and automation. We wire hundreds of hot water tanks a year for City Wide Water Heater Services, handle the electrical on the high-end home renovations we do with Charisma, do fire alarm work alongside alarm companies like SI Alarms, and have taken on large commercial network upgrades, including the Wi-Fi at the Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ stadium.

What makes that range possible is owning the work end to end. We run our own machines for trenching and site work, and if a tree is in the way of a service line, we have the gear to handle it ourselves instead of waiting on another crew. That is how we keep projects moving and costs down, since our customers are not paying three different companies to coordinate one job.

Our Promise

Every job is wired to the current Manitoba electrical code, permitted and inspected where it is required. Our installs are backed by a one-year workmanship warranty, and we would rather give you the honest scope up front than surprise you halfway through. Because we keep the whole job in-house, you get one point of contact, one standard of work, and a fair price without the subcontractor markup.

What sets us apart:

• One in-house crew and our own equipment, with nothing subbed out
• 24/7 emergency service for when the power cannot wait
• Residential, commercial, and agricultural work under one roof
• Both electrical and low-voltage: wiring, cameras, network, and automation
• Local to St Andrews, serving Winnipeg through the Interlake

Owner Cody Lane, a Red Seal journeyman electrician, stays closely involved in the business and holds every project to the same standard, whether it is a single outlet or a full commercial fit-out. Whatever your property needs, North Star Electric is ready to give you a straight answer on what it takes.
