Electrical Work

Licensed electrical work

Electrical work is a regulated trade requiring a certified electrician. Kevyt Remppa works in partnership with licensed electrical contractors to ensure safe and code-compliant installations.

Turnkey electrical work and light fixture installations — Kevyt Remppa

Electrical work is among the most critical renovation tasks in any home — it affects safety, comfort, and the smooth running of daily life. All fixed electrical work must by law be carried out by a qualified electrical professional. Kevyt Remppa delivers and coordinates electrical work together with trusted partner electrical contractors in the Helsinki metropolitan area and surrounding regions: Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa, Kerava, Järvenpää, Kirkkonummi, and Kauniainen.

You can order anything from a single light fixture installation or outlet addition to a more extensive electrical renovation as part of a kitchen, bathroom, or apartment renovation. We take care of planning, scheduling, and project coordination — our partner electricians carry out the actual installations in compliance with regulations.

Why hire a professional for electrical work?

• Safety — properly executed electrical installations reduce the risk of fire and electric shock.
• Legislation and regulations — most fixed electrical installations require a certified electrician.
• Insurance coverage — improper DIY work can compromise your insurance in the event of damage.
• Functional everyday life — well-planned outlet and lighting locations make daily life easier.
• One point of contact — especially in larger renovations, it is easier when the same contractor coordinates both the surface renovation and the electrical work.

What can electrical work include?

Typical projects where we use our partner electricians include:

• Light fixture installations — ceiling lights, spotlights, LED strips, worktop lights, mirror lights
• Outlet additions and relocations — living room, bedroom, kitchen, workspace, utility room
• Light switch replacement and addition — push buttons, dimmers, two-way switches
• Kitchen electrical work — appliance power connections, worktop lights, island outlets
• Bathroom and sauna electrical work — mirror lights, outlets, underfloor heating thermostat, fixtures (with wet room and IP rating considerations)
• Underfloor heating electrical connections (thermostat and controls by a qualified electrician)
• Electrical points and connections for e.g. heat pumps or other devices (within the scope of the site and regulations)
• Minor electrical renovations — updating old outlets and switches, limited distribution board tidying by a partner electrical contractor.

Electrical work pricing — what determines the cost?

"How much does electrical work cost?" depends on a few key factors:

• Scope of work — a single light fixture installation vs. multiple outlet additions and fixture replacements
• Complexity — whether it is just a terminal replacement or cable routing and modifications
• Age and condition of the property — old installations may require additional work to bring them up to code
• Whether inspections or certificates are needed (for larger jobs by a partner electrical contractor)
• Travel costs and labour time.

Electrical work pricing principles

Electrical work pricing is often a combination of a fixed contract price (clearly defined work) and hourly rates (unforeseen additional work). We always go through:

• what the work includes
• what potential additional work situations may arise (e.g. old, faulty installations)
• how additional work is priced transparently.

Household tax deduction for electrical work

The labour cost of electrical installations is often eligible for the household tax deduction when the work involves your own primary residence or holiday home. We itemise the labour portion on the invoice so you can apply for the deduction according to the Finnish Tax Administration's guidelines.

Electrical work as part of a renovation

We typically carry out electrical work as part of a larger renovation:

• kitchen renovation — worktop lights, appliance power connections, new outlets
• bathroom renovation — lighting, mirror cabinet electrics, outlets, underfloor heating thermostats
• apartment renovation — updating old outlets and switches, additional outlets, general lighting
• surface renovation — checking electrical point locations and making necessary updates before painting.

How an electrical work project progresses

1. Needs assessment and planning: First, we go through what you want to change or improve regarding the electrics: additional outlets (e.g. workstation, TV wall, kitchen island), light fixture locations and types, the need for electrical point relocations, and any potential challenges such as an old building or a limited number of outlets. Based on this, we agree on what the electrical work will include and which aspects the electrician needs to confirm on site.

2. Quote and scheduling: Based on the assessment, we provide a written quote detailing what the electrical work includes, how it is scheduled alongside the rest of the renovation, and how any additional work is priced transparently.

3. Electrical work on site: When the renovation reaches the appropriate stage, our partner electrician carries out the actual electrical work: necessary connections and cabling, installation of outlets, switches, and light fixtures, and any measurements and documentation as needed. We agree in advance about any power outages so you know when the electricity will be off briefly and how it affects daily life.

4. Finishing and documentation: Finally, we check that the agreed electrical work has been completed and that light fixtures, outlets, and switches function as planned. We also ensure that visible surfaces around the electrical installations are neat. More extensive electrical work is documented by the partner electrical contractor as required by regulations.

Summary

Let us make sure your home's electrical work is safe, functional, and well-planned to fit the overall renovation.

We specialise in electrical installations related to renovations — for standalone electrical emergencies or large-scale building services overhauls, we recommend specialised providers.

It is well worth taking care of electrical work at the same time as the rest of your renovation — for example during a kitchen renovation, bathroom renovation, or apartment renovation. This way we ensure that surface work and electrical work are planned together, and no outlets or wires end up in the wrong place in the finished interior.
