Core offering

Herzog Kälte & Klima designs, installs, and maintains refrigeration and air conditioning systems for commercial, industrial, retail, and food production customers across Austria. Its offering combines physical HVAC/R systems (chillers, VRF units, ventilation, transcritical CO2/R744 plants) with a proprietary digital platform that provides remote monitoring, AI-driven predictive maintenance, F-Gas compliant documentation, ticketing, and maintenance contract management.

Product overview

Herzog Kälte & Klima operates as both a digital platform provider and traditional cooling/climate systems provider. The core offering consists of a digital cooling technology platform that integrates multiple modules including an AI Assistant for automated fault processing, digital inspection book, maintenance contracts, ticket system, remote equipment access, task tracking, and secure cloud document storage—all accessible through a unified customer portal. Complementing the digital platform are physical products including chillers (Kaltwassersatz), VRF systems, ventilation systems, and transcritical CO2/R744 refrigeration units. Service offerings encompass installation, maintenance and repair (nationwide network covering 80+ locations), rental/emergency cooling, refrigerant conversion to natural refrigerants, and custom refrigeration system construction. The digital and physical offerings are interconnected: technicians use the digital platform for remote diagnostics, preventive maintenance alerts, and documentation, while physical equipment is monitored and controlled through the customer portal.
