Electricity Connection

New connection and capacity increase

KULMEN helps prepare and build an electricity connection for a new property or increase the capacity of an existing connection. The work is carried out by certified electricians.

New electricity connection for a private house, new build or plot

For a new property, the electricity connection is planned before construction or renovation starts, so that the chosen capacity, entry point and distribution solution match the needs of the property.

The grid connection solution depends on the location of the property, the required capacity, the existing network infrastructure and the requirements of the distribution system operator. The work is carried out by certified electricians (certificate No. 4-00596).

Private house

The connection and distribution are planned around the loads of the house and the option of adding new consumers in the future.

New build

The connection solution is coordinated with the construction process, so the service entry and distribution can be built at the right stage.

Plot

Before construction we help clarify what kind of connection is needed and which steps are required to connect the property to the network.

Power capacity increase for an existing connection

A capacity increase may be needed when high-power equipment is added to the property or its use changes.

Before deciding, we review the existing connection, the distribution board, the protective devices and the expected loads. This shows whether adjusting the distribution is enough or whether other parts of the electrical installation must also be changed.

New equipment

For example a heat pump, an EV charging station, electric heating or production equipment.

Changed use of the property

For example reconstruction, an extension or the addition of other premises.

Frequent circuit-breaker trips

If the existing capacity or distribution no longer matches the real loads, the situation can be assessed on site.
