Get or transfer a subscription

To make sure everything works from day one in your new apartment, you'll need to set up certain services in advance. This includes, for example, electricity, TV, and internet.

Even if you move within Skövdebostäder, you'll need to contact your service providers yourself to:

  • cancel, move, or
  • sign up for new subscriptions

Do this well in advance of the move.

Electricity Subscription

This applies to most homes.

No later than two weeks before moving in, you must:

  1. Sign up for an internet service plan with Skövde Energi
  2. choose and sign a contract with an electricity provider

Contact information and more details are available at skovdeenergi.se.

Exceptions – certain residential areas

If you live in any of the following areas, you do not need to sign up for your own electricity service:

  • Bataljonen
  • Bostället
  • Fältskären
  • Jordfräsen
  • 10 Kurortsvägen
  • Mossagården
  • Plutonen
  • Timmergränd
  • Spånvägen
  • Timmerlyckan
  • Timmervägen

In these areas, electricity and water are metered individually. Skövdebostäder handles the electricity account, and you pay only for the electricity you use.

Electricity consumption:

  • is read every month
  • will be charged one month in arrears on your rent statement

Example:
Electricity used in February is billed on the April rent statement.
This also means that you may receive a final bill after you’ve moved out.

TV, Internet, and Phone Service 

Starting two weeks before your start date, you can sign up for a subscription to 

  • Internet
  • telephony
  • TV

You also have the option to subscribe to a free selection of TV channels.

Here's how to sign up for TV, internet, and phone service.
