Posti and Hakonen (in the Helsinki metropolitan area) offer installation services for refrigeration appliances.

The installation service includes setting up the refrigeration unit and, if needed, removing the old appliance before installing the new one. The technician ensures all necessary connections, wiring, and power supply are properly handled. They also unpack the new appliance and clean up packaging waste during the installation.

A drip tray must be installed under the refrigeration appliance to detect any leaks and prevent water damage. You can order a drip tray of the right size at the same time as your refrigeration unit.

Services Included in Refrigeration Appliance Installation

✔ Installation of refrigerators and freezers is part of the service.

✔ Appliances are installed in pre-set locations, leveled, and connected to the electrical network as part of the installation.

✖ Technicians do not modify cabinetry or countertops (no changes to cabinet or countertop placement).

✖ Water connections are not included in the installation service.

Changing the Door Hinge Side of Refrigeration Appliances

Hakonen does not change the door hinge side of refrigeration units.

Posti and local installers include door hinge side changes in basic installation if the appliance does not have a display. The technician will adjust the door hinge side of the refrigerator or freezer according to your preference. Please inform Posti or the local installer about the need to change the hinge side when scheduling delivery so enough time is reserved for the task.

If the appliance has a display, changing the door hinge side is an additional paid service charged directly by Posti or the local installer. Please notify them in advance if you want this service for a display-equipped unit.

The technical specifications of the appliance indicate whether hinge side changes are possible.

Note: For integrated refrigerators and freezers, the appliances will be set up and ready to use, but installation or removal of cabinet doors is not included in the service.
