Electricity and hot water

On our website, under each area, there is information on whether electricity and hot water are included or not. The information is also available on each object when it is published for rent.

Electricity and hot water is not included in the rent in all our areas. SGS will charge the tenant according to standard consumption for the first two months, the prices can be found below. Thereafter, SGS will charge only for actual consumption. The tenant must not sign any own electricity contract.

The electricity and hot water price is based on an expected normal consumption and is different depending on the apartment type:

Electricity
1 room and kitchen, 242 SEK per month (194 SEK excl. VAT)
2 rooms and kitchen, 286 SEK per month (229 SEK excl. VAT)
3 rooms and kitchen, 374 SEK per month (299 SEK excl. VAT)
4 rooms and kitchen, 418 SEK per month (334 SEK excl. VAT)
5 rooms and kitchen, 418 SEK per month (334 SEK excl. VAT)

Hot water
1 room and kitchen, 156 SEK per month (125 SEK excl. VAT)
2 rooms and kitchen, 156 SEK per month (125 SEK excl. VAT)
3 rooms and kitchen, 276 SEK per month (222 SEK excl. VAT)
4 rooms and kitchen, 276 SEK per month (222 SEK excl. VAT)
5 rooms and kitchen, 276 SEK per month (222 SEK excl. VAT)

On the third rental period onwards, SGS charges for the actual consumption of electricity and hot water. Current electricity price is SEK 2.20/kWh (SEK 1.76 excl. VAT). Current hot water price is SEK 92/m3 (SEK 74/m3 excl. VAT).

The prices must correspond to SGS's cost prices. The electricity price includes both fixed and variable fees for electricity as well as electricity grid and energy tax. Correspondingly, the hot water price covers fixed and variable charges for the water itself, as well as all charges for the energy used to heat the water.

The purpose of measuring and charging consumption in the home is that the tenant should only have to pay for what is actually used. Those who manage to economize on electricity and hot water then receive a lower fee than those who use more. The costs are that way distributed more fairly and the rent is not affected by how much the neighbors use.
