Install an engine heater and socket in Stockholm

Warm car, frost-free windscreen and an engine spared the punishing cold starts — one of the most convenient things you can install at your driveway or carport. We install an engine heater socket with a built-in timer and dedicated circuit at a fixed price with the ROT deduction applied, whether you live in a house, a terraced house or have a private parking space in a housing association.

Timer and dedicated circuit included

The socket gets its own circuit in the consumer unit so it does not compete with the rest of the household's electrics, and the built-in timer ensures the heater runs just before departure instead of drawing power all night. This matters in older houses where the consumer unit is already heavily loaded. Want two sockets on the post for a two-car household? You choose the number when booking.

Cabin heater and remote control

The engine heater socket also powers the cabin heater, so the windscreen is free of ice without scraping before the commute. If you want to control the heating from your phone we install a system with remote control, for example DEFA — practical when departure times vary from day to day. Tell us in the booking and the electrician will bring the right equipment.

Lower consumption than you might think

An engine heater on a timer draws a fraction of what cold starts cost in fuel and wear. Set correctly it runs one to two hours before departure — not all night. It is the timer that makes the engine heater economical, and it is included in what we install.

An engine heater socket and EV charging are different things

An engine heater socket is built for the heater's short runs — not for charging an EV for hours. Charging the car there wears out the socket and is a common cause of heat damage. If the car is to be charged at home, an EV charger is the right solution, and we are happy to install both in the same visit: engine heater for one car, EV charger for the other.

Less wear and a more pleasant morning

Cold starts wear hard on an engine — most engine damage occurs then because the oil has not yet reached all the moving parts. An engine heater makes the start gentler and protects the engine over time. On top of that comes the convenience: a warm cabin and frost-free windscreen when you get in the car instead of standing there scraping in the dark. It is one of the most appreciated electrical installations we carry out.

Frequently asked questions

Can I charge my EV from the engine heater socket?

No. The socket is not built for hours of high continuous load — for home charging an EV charger is both safer and faster, and we install those at a fixed price too.

Where is the best place to put the post or socket?

As close to the front of the car as the cable will reach without an extension — at the driveway, carport or front of the garage. We decide the exact position together on site.

Does the timer control the cabin heater too?

Yes, the socket's timer controls everything connected — engine heater and cabin heater start together, timed before departure rather than running all night.

Does the engine heater need to run all night?

No. It warms the engine block, not the whole garage — one to two hours before departure is enough, and that is exactly what the timer is set for.
