HK-Säätö

Building automation in Espoo

HK-Säätö is a family-owned company from Espoo, and Espoo has been the core of our service area since 1991. Our premises are in Kilonkallio, so a technician reaches a building in Espoo quickly. Some of the buildings we delivered in the 1990s are still under our maintenance. Our promise is the same as elsewhere: we measure the flats, even out the heating and take the saving where energy is wasted, not from the residents' warmth.

What we do in Espoo

Espoo as a building stock

About a quarter of the flats in apartment buildings in Espoo were completed in the 1960s and 1970s and almost 40 % after 2010. District heating heats more than 90 % of the apartment buildings in Espoo. In the older suburbs the heat distribution centres and controllers are often of the second or third generation, and heating is controlled with a single heating curve without measurement in the flats. In new buildings the automation is ready, but the settings for the first heating season easily stay at their default values. In both cases measurement is the first step.

Non-residential buildings in Espoo

Espoo has 396 educational buildings, 450 retail buildings, 334 office buildings and 121 healthcare buildings. Schools, day-care centres, government buildings and retail premises are close by in our home city, and a different rule applies to them than to housing companies. A building other than a residential building, whose heating or air conditioning system has a nominal power above 290 kilowatts, must have an automation and control system, and for buildings already in use the deadline was 31 December 2024. Whether the limit is exceeded depends on the power rating, not on the type of building. Automation requirement Source: Helsinki Region Statistics (Statistics Finland), building stock 2024.

Frequently asked questions

How quickly is a technician on site in Espoo?

For an urgent fault we leave immediately, and the journey from Kilonkallio to a building in Espoo is short. We repair many faults remotely without a visit.

Do you also maintain 1990s systems in Espoo?

Yes. Some of the buildings we delivered in the 1990s are still under our maintenance, and their systems have been updated along the way. Often a partial modernisation is enough: the existing actuators and sensors are connected to a new controller and to remote monitoring without replacing the whole system.
