Question 1

Why should I involve an electrician early in my renovation?

Accepted Answer

Early planning saves substantial amounts of money. If we are involved before the drywall goes up, we can route all conduits invisibly and design lighting and outlets exactly where you need them for your daily life. Retrofitting outlets and running surface-mounted cables later is both more expensive and less aesthetically pleasing.

Question 2

Do you offer complete electrical contracting for new builds?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We take full responsibility for the entire process—from capacity calculations and electrical blueprints to final installation and inspection. You get a dedicated project manager who handles all coordination with carpenters and plumbers, ensuring the project finishes on time and within budget.

Question 3

How do I maximize the ROT tax deduction for a major renovation?

Accepted Answer

For large renovations, we help you structure the invoicing to take full advantage of your annual ROT deduction (up to 50,000 SEK per person). Since we bill labor costs separately, we can optimize the setup if there are multiple owners of the property.

Question 4

What is the process for completely rewiring an older villa?

Accepted Answer

We start with a thorough inspection of the existing system and create a new electrical blueprint. We often replace old cloth-covered wires with modern cables inside existing conduits, upgrade the electrical panel to one with automatic breakers and an RCD, and install child-proof outlets. This drastically increases both safety and property value.

Question 5

Will I receive approved documentation for my insurance company?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Smista Elinstallation AB is fully certified. Upon project completion, we hand over clear electrical drawings, testing protocols, and circuit directories. This proves to your insurance company and any future buyers that the installation was professionally executed according to the latest safety standards.

Question 6

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 7

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 8

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 9

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.
