About Knight Electric Ltd.

When you need electrical work done in your home, you want someone who treats your house like it matters. Knight Electric owner Jacob Dombek started his company after years of working in the trade and never quite finding a contractor that matched his standards for how the work should be done. Rather than settling, he built his own. Over a decade later, Knight Electric has earned over 220 five star Google reviews and a perfect 5.0 rating.

Residential Electrical Experts Who Specialize in Your Home

Knight Electric is laser focused on one thing: electrical services for residential homes. While many electrical contractors spread themselves across commercial, industrial, and residential work, Jacob and his team have chosen to specialize exclusively in serving homeowners. They understand the nuances of working in someone’s living space, from protecting your belongings to setting up dust barriers before any work begins.

Their services cover everything a Winnipeg homeowner could need. Whether it’s rewiring an older home from knob and tube or aluminum wiring to modern standards, upgrading your electrical panel to 200 amps, installing a Level 2 EV charger, or handling the electrical side of a kitchen renovation, bathroom remodel, or basement development. They also handle LED lighting upgrades, generator installations, and outlet and switch installs.

Communication and a Team You Can Trust

If there’s one thing that comes up again and again in customer reviews, it’s the communication. Knight Electric has made transparency a cornerstone of how they operate. From the moment the team arrives, they’ll walk you through what needs to happen and why, give detailed descriptions of what the fixes will include, and explain costs upfront.

Throughout the project, they keep you in the loop on every step. Customers regularly mention the crew by name in their reviews, which tells you something about the caliber of people Jacob has brought onto his team. They’re respectful of your space and will vacuum up at the end of every single day before they leave.

At the end of 2025, Knight Electric moved into a new shop that includes a dedicated training room where the team meets regularly to sharpen their skills. Jacob has invested heavily in workplace culture, and it shows in the quality of work and professionalism his crew delivers on site.

Thoroughness and Attention to Detail

Jacob values thoroughness, attention to detail, and doing things right the first time. When Knight Electric is in your home, their team takes a holistic approach to electrical safety. They’ll check on your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, look at fire and life safety elements, and make sure everything meets insurance requirements and code standards. The goal is to leave your house safer than they found it.

Every project comes backed by a lifetime craftsmanship guarantee on all electrical installations, plus a one year parts warranty.

What to Know Before Hiring an Electrician in Winnipeg

Electrical work can sometimes involve more than you’d expect, even for something as straightforward as adding a new plug. There are permits, inspections, and the reality that the team will need to access areas like your electrical panel. Knight Electric handles all of that. They’ll let you know ahead of time what spaces they need to get to, set up dust protection to keep your home clean, and treat your belongings with genuine care.

That attention to detail doesn’t go unnoticed. When city inspectors have come through after Knight Electric’s work, they’ve had nothing but positive things to say. One customer shared that the inspectors told them they “picked the best in the city.”

Getting to Know Jacob Dombek

When Jacob isn’t running one of Winnipeg’s top rated electrical companies, you’ll find him at the lake with his young family. Camping, canoeing, fishing, and water sports at the cabin. That down to earth, family first approach carries over into how he runs his business. Jacob genuinely cares about helping homeowners solve their electrical problems and feel safe in their homes.

Born and raised in Winnipeg, Jacob understands what Manitoba homeowners need and has built Knight Electric to serve this community.

Customer Review

"

I am SO glad I chose Knight Electric for my 1923 home rewire. When I started looking, I knew I wanted to SUPPORT A LOCAL, FAMILY OWNED company, and Jacob the owner provided me with just that, and so much more! Jacob came first and provided an incredibly in depth assessment of the home, and a reasonable estimate. He completed the task with a respectful, non judgemental approach, which was SO appreciated. David Walker was the main electrician assigned to the task, and his professionalism, attention to detail, and problem solving skills were so appreciated. He also has a great sense of humour, and goes above and beyond to respect your home, pets, family and everything in between. Knight Electric does clean, concise work, and safety and customer satisfaction are clearly their top priority. Job site was tidied at the end of each day, and animals were kept safe while entering and exiting the home.
