This section gives you an overview of practical services connected to everyday life in Finspång, such as internet, water, waste, electricity and other essential utilities. Here you can find basic information, useful links and guidance on where to start.

  • Broadband and internet

    On this page you will find an overview of how broadband and fibre connections work in Finspång Municipality.

  • District heating

    District heating is a system that supplies buildings with heat through a centralised network. Instead of each property having its own heating system, hot water is produced at a central plant and distributed through insulated pipes to connected buildings. The heat is then used for space heating and domestic hot water.

  • Drinking water

    Finspångs Tekniska supplies clean and safe drinking water to connected properties in Finspång Municipality. Here you can find information about connections, water meters, change of ownership and where to find current prices and technical requirements.

  • Heat pump

    If you plan to install a heat pump that extracts energy from bedrock, soil or water, you may need to notify the municipality or apply for a permit. Here you can find information about requirements, the application process and what to consider before installation.

  • Installed fireplace

    If you plan to install a fireplace, wood-burning stove or other heating appliance, you must notify the municipality before installation begins. Here you can find information about the notification process, required documents and applicable regulations.

  • Refrigerants

    Refrigerants are found in equipment such as refrigerators, freezers, air conditioning systems and heat pumps. Most refrigerants are very powerful greenhouse gases and are collectively referred to as fluorinated greenhouse gases. A powerful greenhouse gas contributes to the greenhouse effect, and in some cases its impact can be thousands of times greater than that of carbon dioxide. For this reason, there are regulations to minimise leakage from installations containing these gases. If you are the operator of an installation containing refrigerants, you have the main responsibility for ensuring that the rules are followed.

  • Storage tank

    Regardless of whether you have a smaller oil tank for a private home or a larger storage tank for petrol, you as the owner are responsible for the storage and handling of oil and other flammable liquids. Oil spills into soil or water can kill plants and animals. Leaks from storage tanks containing oil, petrol or other flammable liquids can damage groundwater and drinking water sources for a long time.

  • Waste and recycling

    Finspångs Tekniska is responsible for household waste collection, recycling services and septic tank emptying in Finspång Municipality. The municipality handles notifications and applications concerning home composting and exemptions from the local waste collection rules.
