I have nothing but good things to say about my experience with Sam from Southcan Electric. To give you a little back story, I'm a solar panel technician, I specialize on the installation side of solar arrays for residential homes. The electrical side of things our company always had a journeyman electrician on hand to do tie-ins etc. Anyways, during a comoany move to Saskatchewan I was left here in MB with no journeyman so I had to hire a new electrician to close up a few jobs here in MB. A friend recommended going with Southcan Electric for the job, and I'm very glad that I did! Sam came prepared, he knew all of the proper procedures and codes related to solar, and was a overall just great to work with! We did two different tie-overs (at the panel) and they both passed inspection with absolutley zero issues. We have had problems in the past with new electricians not knowing how solar works, but Sam was familiar with everything and it blew me away. Made my life so much easier! Would highly highly recommend going with Southcan for whatever electrical needs you may have. I found that they are a very professional company, they take pride in their work, and they will do the job right.

My wife and I have recently purchased a house and needed some aluminum wiring looked at for insurance purposes. I called a bunch of companies in winnipeg and most didn't even answer the phone and if they did the couldn't come out to my house on weekends or just gave me a flat rate for work without even looking at my house first. Southcan Electric returned my phone call, answered my million questions, set up an appointment for a Saturday (no one else would), and was just super friendly and helpful. Sam came out on the Saturday exactly when he said he would and spent way to much time answering all my questions which was great! He had everything all figured out and quoted in no time. He even printed off the specific forms my insurance company needed to be filled out. The form was filled out and sent to me within 24 hours. I can't say enough good things about Sam and the company. If you need electrical work done this is the company to call. I will never use anyone else for electrical work as long as I live in winnipeg. Great company, great service, and great people. Thanks again Southcan Electric!! A company of legends!!!!

  • Machete Jake

Completely blown away. Contacted for an electrical inspection, received quick informative reply. Pricing was considerably below competitors quotes. Sam was unbelievable to deal with. Sent a text to confirm morning of, showed up right on time. He even printed off and had a copy of my insurance companies report form handy and ready to go. Right away I knew I was in good hands as he showed and explained everything to me so I could understand and follow along. It was evident he cares about his business and customers right away, and I seriously cannot say enough good things. It was a completely positive experience. If you have ever dealt with other contractors, you will understand what a breath of fresh air it is dealing with this company. I literally had contacted several others for the inspection before finding Southcan... 1 no show, 1 replied a week later after numerous phone calls & chasing them around, and still waiting on another's reply lol. Highly recommend Southcan, and when I need an electrician in the future - I know exactly whom to call. Thanks Sam and your team for being you. Don't ever change!

  • Sandra Smith

Sam and his team did a great job with the upgrades I was seeking. I got an EV charger installed in my garage, wiring laid for a garage heater, a 200amp panel upgrade, and an outdoor outlet installed. When I first reached out, Sam was very responsive and was able to meet to do an estimate at a time convenient for my schedule. He explained in detail the various options for the work I was seeking and answered my questions. I didn't feel pressured to pick the most expensive option. Sam also explained the pros and cons for each panel option and predicted how each would impact further upgrades down the road (plans to install a wired garage heater). Sam and Justin were very communicative and would update me when work was planned for and access times needed. They were available via text message to make arrangements which was convenient. They also followed up after the work was done to make sure I was satisfied with everything. I would highly recommend Southcan electric!

  • David Shack

We were looking to finish our basement and needed quite a bit of electrical work done including outlets, switches, lights, HRV wiring and Ethernet. We decided to call up Southcan and we couldn’t have made a better decision. Sam was very responsive and quick during the quoting stage as well as having a reasonable estimate. Work started shortly after and Sam’s team was very professional, respectful, provided quality work and communicated well. Sam has also been very cooperative when working around our timeline with inspections and other trades. I feel very confident recommending Southcan to anyone looking for electrical work!

  • Dave Samaha

Sam has been nothing but helpful making sure to offer the best possible price for the best possible quality. Very open about cost labour, breaking down all my options. They are very understanding and were very willing to work with whatever need and concerns I had. Even though they're a company you always feel like you're dealing with a person. I recommend Southan Electric. I'm committed to have them tackle any future project. I believe anyone looking for a good electrical company to give them a call. I hope this helps out anyone looking for a good and honest electrician.

  • Marcus Yaks

I hired Southcan Electrical to run power to my detached garage, what a great decision! Sam was very helpful explaining what needed to be done and why so I fully understood the job. Sam and his team were very kind and professional and worked with me to find time to get the job done quickly around my schedule as a shift worker. Sam went above and beyond to find me the right materials and was a pleasure to have working in my home. Hiring Southcan was a great experience, and I will be recommending them to all of my family and friends! Thank you for your great work!

  • Jane Toffan-Turnbull

I was very pleased with Southcan Electric. Sam and his team were personable and professional. They showed up on time and listened to my requests and then made a few good suggestions to improve the function and appearance of the newly installed plugs/switches in my renovated rooms. When they were finished they cleaned up after themselves and reviewed their work with me to make sure I was happy with the results. This company provides quality and affordable services. I will definitely use them again and I will highly recommend them to friends and family.

  • Julie Sousa-voth

Called Sam on Tuesday morning and he had a team member out to our house Wednesday morning. Sam was super polite and made me feel comfortable as i tried to explain the breaker issue in the panel. Their prices are completely reasonable and will definitely be contacting them for future projects! Darryl came in was extremely polite and professional got the job done and explained what had occurred and made sure it was well communicated between myself and my elderly parents. I highly recommend Southcan to anyone looking for help!!

  • Taylor Adolphe

Simply put, professional and reasonably priced. I needed some odd electrical work done at my house. Due to mostly finished ceiling, I received some outrageous prices. Sam figures out a way to run the wires, pass inspection, and with no extra work having to be done. I want to especially highlight how his team was punctual and communicated what they were doing. It made the whole experience easy and a lower cost than the other quotes I had. Would recommend and hire in the future.

  • Sherry Rasmussen

Southcan Electric is a very professional company. Samuel Hagglund is smart, talented-- he knows his stuff! He knows how to get the job done quickly and efficiently. He hooked up a new electric water heater in our home which included adding a breaker to the existing panel. He did this in a timely fashion so that we were not without hot water. I was confident that if he ran into any issues, he would know how to handle them! I highly recommend his work! Sherry R. Winnipeg.

  • Kelly Wiebe

Recently purchased a house and it needed aluminum wiring updated to code. Southcan was very communicative right from the start, others I looked at didn't respond to my inquiry until days after talking with Sam. Was quoted a good price and there was no surprises along the way. The techs came on time, were friendly and completed the work quicker then expected. Also provided papers for insurance purposes. Highly recommend and will be using them again in the future.

  • stephen gossen

The owner Sam respond quickly to our request, we were looking to have a couple pot lights put in where we were planning to put in a new bar. Wiring needed to be run to the location and they were able to minimize any holes and completed the work quickly. Very happy with the overall experience and will be asking them to complete more wiring and fixture installation in our home In The near future. The only thing that exceeds the quality of work was the service!!

  • Aaron Black

Incredible experience with Southcan Electric from the moment of contact to the completion of the project. Needed additional outlets to power industrial AC units in an incompatible building. They went above and beyond every step of the way and could not be more please with the service we received. Incredibly efficient, personable and affordable. 10/10 would recommend and will without a doubt be using them for all my electrical work needs moving forward!

  • Cody East

Sam from Southcan was an absolute pleasure to work with. I had Sam come do an electrical inspection for insurance purposes. Sam was timely, efficient and very knowledgeable. My favourite part about dealing with Sam was that he was aware that I was a new home owner and took the time to walk through the basics and provide insights in a manner that I could fully understand. I would highly recommend Sam and Southcan Electric to all friends and family.

  • Zak Beauchesne

I own a renovation company and have had 3 bathrooms and a kitchen completed by Sam and his team, we already have plans for 3 more bathrooms, knob and tube removal and a kitchen renovation. His entire team is punctual, respectful, and knowledgeable. I won't be working with any other electricians after the experience I've had. If anyone is looking for an amazing team of electricians to handle your project I would highly recommend going with them.

  • Alan Castell

What a great group of guys and professionals! We have worked together on some jobs and every time I get nothing but praise for this company. Sam is always on top of things, looking to improve, and a benefit to the work my company does, and to the customers that we serve together. I have NO problem at all recommending SCE for electrical, as well as other jobs such as security. Smart, prompt, polite, and accountable. What more can you ask for?

  • Kevin Power

Sam has great customer service and that what I value when I hire a company. Southcan is a small local business in River Park South. They provided me with installation of pot lights and switch in my livingroom. Sam has an awesome employee name Leim. He was the one to do my install and is an awesome guy. Very knowledgeable and great at what he does. I highly recommend this company for any of your electrical needs. Thank you Sam and Leim.

  • Derek Meikle

  • Hannah Bloomfield

The plug in our bathroom hadn't been working for six months easily and my partner was going to try and fix it himself but didn't have any idea what he was doing. Southcan to the rescue! They replaced not only the broken plug in the bathroom, but helped me with a lightswitch that was wired upside down too. These guys are awesome, fair pricing and just a pleasure to deal with.

  • John McFadzean

Sam and Justin have been outstanding. I primarily needed to update my electrical panel to the 21st century on account of the older model becoming difficult to find replacement breaker switches for. Sam provided detailed options for brands and required work clearly and up front. No surprises occurred while Justin worked the project, and the job was well done.

  • Kevin Kummerfield

They say you can't have good, fast, and cheap, but that was my exact experience!! I called Sam after some "misunderstandings" about city permits, within 2 hours, there was a permit in my inbox. Withing a day, the work was completed, and my inspection booked. Incredible customer service, and very straight shooter, highly, highly recommended!!

  • Mary Arkle

We are impressed by the attentive professionalism and courtesy demonstrated by Sam and his crew. Each time they have worked on projects in our home, they have kept us informed and offered helpful options. We have recommended Southcan Electric to our friends and family, and will definitely use their services in our next phase of renovations.

  • Jose Orellana

Southcan Electric updated my panel from 100amps 200amp service. I got 3 quotes, and southcan was the most affordable and also the quickest to reply. Sam talked me through the whole process and explained what AFCIs are and all the code rules. Very thorough and very professional. They are my new go to electricians and I highly recommend!

  • Barbara Cullen

Quik-Therm Insulation Solutions has contracted with SouthCan Electric on three different occasions. All three projects were completed on time as per the quoted price. One project involved coordinating with Manitoba Hydro. Sam took charge and dealt directly with Manitoba Hydro. The result — Quik-Therm saved several thousand dollars.
