Electrician in Stockholm
Dry towels, less moisture and a warmer bathroom. We install and permanently connect your electric heated towel rail — as it should be done in a wet room — with a thermostat so it does not draw more power than it needs. We work in flats, terraced houses and detached houses in Stockholm and will give you a suggested time as soon as the booking is in.
In the bathroom's wet zones the towel rail must be permanently connected by a qualified electrician, not hanging on a plug. We position it according to the zone rules, connect it discreetly and make sure the thermostat or timer is correctly set. You buy the rail yourself — we handle everything else, including replacing the heating element or thermostat on a rail you already have. In a housing association flat we take into account any rules about work in wet rooms.
An electrically connected rail is independent of the heating system — it works all year round, even when the underfloor heating or boiler is off in summer. Hydronic rails are part of the house's heating circuit and are plumbing work. We install the electric ones, and are happy to replace an old hydronic rail with electric if you want dry towels even in the middle of July.
Most domestic rails fall between 60 and 150 watts — similar to an old-fashioned incandescent bulb. With a thermostat or timer it also does not run at full power around the clock. The monthly cost is small in relation to dry towels and less moisture in the bathroom, whether it is in a flat or a terraced house.
In many of Stockholm's older flats and terraced houses the bathroom is the coldest room in the home, and during the long heating season towels never properly dry by themselves. A rail with a thermostat does more than provide comfort: less lingering moisture is good for grout, surface finishes and indoor air quality — and therefore for the whole wet room's lifespan.
If there is already a permanently connected rail on the wall the replacement is straightforward: old one down, new one up, connection in the existing back-box. We also replace the heating element or thermostat on a rail that is otherwise intact — often the cheapest way to give it a new lease of life without disturbing tiles and grout unnecessarily.
No, the wet zones govern. Nearest the shower and bath there are special requirements, and the permanent connection must be made discreetly by a qualified electrician. We position the rail according to the rules so the installation passes inspection and insurance.
No, you choose and buy the rail yourself — the choice is extensive and taste is personal. The fixed price covers the permanent installation, with the ROT deduction already handled and applied.
Yes, many models have a built-in timer or thermostat, and we set it at installation so the rail does not draw more power than needed.
Yes, there are slim models made for small spaces — and the same rules about permanent connection apply there. The towels dry, and the small room gets a welcome boost of warmth.
