$800 to $1500 depending on brand, number of circuits, and if your meter bases needs to be replaced due to code requirements.
I'm going from 100A fuses to 125A breakers and its $1250+tx and includes new meter base enclosure and a Siemens panel

I was told some round meter or something outside needs to be replaced to a square one, but to replace my panel on the inside its 2000 (includes outside work and inside) it didnt sound like there were any surprises, just a basic change of each thing. $2000 + taxes

I had mine done recently (simple RE/RE) and a main factor is whether the utility charges for the disconnect/reconnect. I know In my area of Peel there was no charge at all, but I’m told areas such as Toronto they are charging extra fees.
I supplied my own panel/breakers and paid 500$ which included the permits/esa inspection

Remember, you are hearing from people in Toronto telling you what it costs in Toronto. Winnipeg may be different for a variety of reasons such as less competition for business.
Call a couple of more companies in Winnipeg to compare, don't just assume you are being ripped off because it is cheaper in Toronto.

While im at it, regarding air conditioners... anything I should beware of? looking to buy a 1.5 or 2 ton AC. Any brands to stay away from? Theyre trying to sell me one called "PAYNE" or something.
