15.1.2026 10:26

Snow provides a wintry atmosphere and light, but it also means work for Heka's employees and residents. This winter reminder gives you advice on how to keep the yard and other outdoor areas of your home functional and safe in winter, and how to regulate the temperature in your home. Heka's property maintenance operatives do the snow work in the yard and take care of gritting, but residents also have their own responsibilities.

Customer service’s summer service hours effective 1 April 2024

The summer service hours of Heka’s customer service will continue until 31 August 2024.

Every tenant has influence over the tidiness of the waste collection point of their building and how much Heka has to pay for waste management. A tidy building is also more pleasant to live in.

The picture is taken from the courtyard of Perhekunnantie 10 and shows a yellow and a light-grey house. There is snow in the yard.
