Order a temporary connection/event electricity
A temporary connection is a fixed-term electricity connection suitable for construction sites, events, and other temporary electricity usage locations.
It is a practical solution when electricity is needed temporarily without a permanent connection.
Frequently asked questions about temporary connections
Temporary connections are always priced on a case-by-case basis.
The minimum costs are determined according to Herrfors Nät-Verkko’s service price list. The total cost is influenced by factors such as the size of the connection, the usage period, and any construction work.
A temporary connection is site-specific and cannot be directly moved to another location. A separate order and possibly a new connection agreement are required for the new site.

Converting the connection to three-phase
The main fuse can be replaced by an electrical contractor, but this change also requires our approval. The work will be charged according to the service price list.
Changing from a single-phase to a three-phase connection offers, among other things:
- a more stable power supply
- enables the use of more powerful devices at home or at the cottage
Frequently Asked Questions about converting to three-phase
Converting to three-phase means that a single-phase electricity connection is changed to a three-phase connection. This increases the connection’s capacity and enables the use of more powerful devices.
It is relevant, for example, when a heat pump, an electric vehicle charger, larger electrical appliances are installed in the property, or when the existing single-phase connection is no longer sufficient.
The customer contacts an electrical contractor, who assesses the need and submits a notification to Herrfors Nät-Vert. Herrfors installs a new meter, connects the supply as three-phase, and updates the connection agreement.

Modifications to the meter cabinet
Modification needs may arise, for example, from:
- increasing the main fuse size
- converting to a three-phase connection
- relocating the meter cabinet
- replacing an old or damaged meter cabinet
All modifications require an inspection by an electrical contractor and our approval.
Frequently asked questions about the measurement center
The meter cabinet must be replaced if it is outdated, damaged, or no longer meets current safety and installation regulations. Replacement is also often necessary when the connection is upgraded or when the building undergoes major renovations.
The meter cabinet is the customer’s property, and its maintenance is the customer’s responsibility. Herrfors Nät-Vert is responsible for the metering devices and the accuracy of the measurements, but the maintenance and any necessary repairs of the cabinet itself are the responsibility of the property owner.
In an easily accessible place, usually on an exterior wall or at the property boundary.

Connection cable modifications
The connection cable links the property to the electricity grid. Modification needs may arise, for example, from:
- increasing the main fuse size
- relocating the meter cabinet
- replacing an old cable
- installing a three-phase connection
Remember: Inside the property boundary, the connection cable is the customer’s responsibility. Cable work is carried out by an electrical contractor.
Remember: Inside the property boundary, the connection cable is the customer’s responsibility. Cable work is carried out by an electrical contractor.

Connection maintenance
If you do not need electricity but want to keep the connection right, you can transfer the connection to maintenance:
- the meter is removed
- the cable is disconnected from the grid, which is charged according to the service price list
- a monthly maintenance fee is charged
The connection can be reactivated later without a new connection fee. Before reconnection, an inspection by an electrical contractor is required.
Frequently Asked Questions about connection maintenance
Maintenance means that the connection is not actively used, but it is preserved for future use. No electricity is delivered to the customer, but the connection remains ready for use.
Maintenance is a good option if the property will be vacant for a long time, the building is demolished but new construction is planned on the plot, or electricity use is interrupted for an extended period.
In maintenance, the basic charges remain the same as in normal use. However, no electricity is consumed, so the billing consists only of the basic fee according to the main fuse size. In addition, the disconnection of the connection cable is charged according to the service price list.

Termination of the connection
You can also terminate the electricity connection permanently:
- we remove the meter and disconnect the connection
- termination is final
- a new connection requires a new contract and connection fee
Submit the termination request to us in writing. The work will be charged according to the service price list.
Frequently Asked Questions about connection termination
The connection is terminated using the electronic order form on our website. Herrfors Nät-Vert disconnects the connection, removes the meter, and the contract ends.
No, it cannot. A connection is always tied to the property and cannot be transferred to another address. A new connection is required for the new property.
No. The connection fee is a one-time payment for building the connection and is not refunded upon termination.

Reactivation of a connection from maintenance
The connection can be reactivated later without a new connection fee if it has been maintained. Before reconnection, an inspection by an electrical contractor is required.
Frequently Asked Questions about connection reactivation
You need an inspection of the installations carried out by an electrical contractor. The contractor submits the inspection report to the network company, after which the electricity can be safely switched on.
Yes. Before reconnection, you must have a valid electricity sales contract with the electricity supplier of your choice. Without it, the network company cannot switch on the electricity.
The network company performs the reconnection after the electrical contractor has submitted the inspection details. The reconnection is usually done as soon as possible, typically within a few working days.

Change of fuse size for the point of use
The fuse size of the supply point determines how much electricity can be used simultaneously — but the change is always made within the limits of the existing electricity connection’s capacity.
Frequently Asked Questions about changing the fuse size of the supply point
No, you cannot. The change must always be carried out by an authorized electrical contractor. They ensure safety and make the necessary notifications.
We do not charge for the change if it stays within the limits of the existing connection and does not require meter modifications. Your own electrical contractor will invoice the work separately.
