Question 1

What is dynamic load balancing for EV chargers?

Accepted Answer

Dynamic load balancing means the charger automatically detects how much electricity the rest of the house is consuming. For example, if you turn on the oven and the heat pump starts, the load balancing automatically lowers the charging power to the EV so your main fuse doesn't overload and blow.

Question 2

Can I charge my EV without load balancing?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is possible, but then the charger often has to be set to a much lower fixed power to be on the safe side, which means it takes much longer to charge the car. Without load balancing, you risk the main fuse tripping if you charge the car at high power while using other power-hungry appliances.

Question 3

Do I need to upgrade my main fuse if I install load balancing?

Accepted Answer

Usually not! That is precisely the biggest advantage of load balancing. It ensures that you can utilize your current main fuse (often 16A or 20A) to the max, without having to pay the electricity company a more expensive subscription fee for a larger fuse (e.g., 25A).

Question 4

Does load balancing work with all car brands?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the load balancing sits between your electrical panel and your charger (e.g., Easee or Zaptec), not in the car itself. Therefore, it works regardless of which EV or plug-in hybrid you drive.

Question 5

What should I do in case of an electrical emergency or power outage?

Accepted Answer

Safety first! If your RCD (jordfelsbrytare) trips repeatedly or you smell burning plastic, do not touch anything. Smista Elinstallation offers fast assistance for emergency electrical faults in Greater Stockholm. We do not have a formal 24/7 emergency service, but we always try to help both new and existing customers every day and at all times of the year when an emergency occurs. Call us and we will assess the situation and dispatch a certified electrician as quickly as possible.

Question 6

Which electrical installations provide the biggest savings on my energy bill?

Accepted Answer

The fastest ways to lower your energy costs are installing smart home controls (like Plejd) and upgrading to energy-efficient LED lighting. By scheduling your heating and lighting according to spot electricity prices, you can reduce energy waste by up to 20%. We handle all types of electrical work, from smart homes to safe EV charger installations.

Question 7

Can I use the ROT deduction and Green Tech deduction at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Yes! When we install an EV charger, we apply the Green Technology deduction, giving you a 50% discount on both materials and labor directly on the invoice. For other general electrical work in your home (like upgrading a fuse board), we deduct 30% of the labor cost via the ROT deduction. We handle all the paperwork with the Swedish Tax Agency for you.

Question 8

Why is it important to hire a certified electrical company?

Accepted Answer

Faulty wiring is one of the leading causes of house fires. Smista Elinstallation AB is a fully authorized electrical contractor approved by the Swedish National Electrical Safety Board (Elsäkerhetsverket) with over 30 years of combined experience. This guarantees a safe installation, valid warranties, and the official documentation often required by your insurance company.
