Install a dishwasher or washing machine in Skellefteå

We handle the electrics: an earthed socket in the right place, connection and a test run of the machine. Fixed price with ROT deduction applied — and a clear statement of exactly where our part ends and the plumber's begins.

What we do — and what your plumber does

Our part is the electrical installation: cable run, RCD-protected socket placed according to the machine's requirements, connection and test run. Water, drain and shut-off valve are plumbing work and are not included — if you do not have a plumber we are happy to recommend one.

No socket at all behind the machine? The price row above covers new splash-proof IP44 sockets for both dishwasher and washing machine.

Washing machine in a bathroom has its own rules

In bathrooms the wet zone rules govern where sockets may be placed, and everything must be RCD-protected. We position the socket correctly according to the applicable regulations — that is the difference between a quick fix and a safe installation.

The washing machine moves up from the basement

In many older Skellefteå houses the utility room was built in the basement, and more and more people want the machine closer to everyday life — in the bathroom, hall or kitchen. That requires a new RCD-protected socket in the right place, sometimes a dedicated circuit in the consumer unit, and in bathrooms the wet zones govern placement. We do the electrics correctly so the move is an improvement and not a risk.

Water and electricity are neighbours — that is why the standards are high

Dishwashers and washing machines combine two things that do not forgive carelessness. Therefore the socket must be earthed, RCD-protected and positioned so it can be reached without pulling the machine out. An old unearthed socket behind the dishwasher does not meet current requirements — and it is exactly that kind of detail that determines whether the insurance is valid the day something leaks.

Frequently asked questions

Do you connect the water and drain too?

No, we do the electrical installation — socket, connection and test run. Water, drain and shut-off valve are plumbing work, and we are happy to pass on contacts if you do not have a plumber.

Can the existing socket behind the machine be used?

If it is earthed, RCD-protected and correctly positioned — yes. If it is unearthed or inaccessible you will be told and given a fixed price for a new one before anything is done.

Is a test run included?

Yes, we connect the machine and run a test before we leave, so you know everything works from the first wash.

Does the washing machine need its own circuit?

Not always, but running a washing machine and tumble dryer simultaneously on the same circuit can be tight. The electrician assesses the load on site and gives a fixed price if a new circuit is needed.

Do you connect a tumble dryer too?

Yes, the tumble dryer's electrical connection is done in the same visit — it often shares a space and socket with the washing machine, and the whole picture must be correctly dimensioned.
