Question 1

Do you take on small electrical jobs, like hanging a ceiling light?

Accepted Answer

Definitely! Small electrical issues can cause big frustrations. We perform all types of minor tasks across Stockholm: from replacing a broken outlet and installing a dimmer, to hanging a new designer lamp or connecting your new washing machine. You get the same professional service regardless of the job's size.

Question 2

Can I replace switches and outlets myself to save money?

Accepted Answer

It might seem tempting, but the risks are immense. By law, you are only allowed to replace existing switches and outlets if you possess absolute knowledge of how to do it safely. A faulty connection can cause a fire, which will void your home insurance. Use the ROT tax deduction instead and let us do it quickly and safely.

Question 3

What is the cost of replacing a standard switch with a dimmer?

Accepted Answer

The cost is very affordable. We charge a low call-out fee and an hourly rate (we usually finish within an hour). With the 30% ROT deduction on labor and our trade discount on quality dimmers from renowned brands, you get a professional installation built to last.

Question 4

How quickly can an electrician come out for a small job?

Accepted Answer

We pride ourselves on flexibility. Because we have multiple service vans navigating Stockholm, we can often fit minor jobs into our schedule when we are in your area. Usually, we can help you within just a few days of your inquiry.

Question 5

Do I need to turn off all the power in the house when you replace an outlet?

Accepted Answer

No, you don't need to turn off the main power. Our electricians will locate the exact fuse in your electrical panel and cut the power locally in the specific room we are working in. This means your fridge, freezer, and WiFi will continue to operate normally during our visit.

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.
