What Masser does
Masser NV is a Belgian family-owned renewable energy company headquartered in Erps-Kwerps, founded in 1948, that designs, manufactures, installs, and services heat pump and electric heating systems for the residential market. The company's core product portfolio spans four heat pump architectures — Sol/Sol (direct expansion ground-source), Sol/Eau (geothermal ground-to-water), Eau/Eau (hydrothermal water-to-water), and Air/Eau (aerothermal air-to-water) — supplemented by thermodynamic hot water systems (Aquaplex 200, Aqua-A), electric supplementary heating (Bali/CES convectors, MASB off-peak accumulators), radiant floor panels, and a spare parts catalog. Reported COP values range from 3.9 to 5.07, with the proprietary Sol/Sol direct expansion technology eliminating circulation pumps and heat exchangers as a claimed efficiency differentiator.
The company operates a vertically integrated direct-sales model with no intermediaries: in-house technico-commercial representatives perform on-site consultations, an engineering bureau calculates heat losses and designs each installation, and Masser-employed certified refrigeration technicians execute installations and after-sales service under site-manager supervision. Coverage spans all three Belgian regions (Flanders, Wallonia, Brussels), with national reach including secondary cities such as Liège, Namur, Charleroi, and Bastogne. Marketing leverages the bilingual (Dutch/French) masser.be website, an annual booth at the Batibouw construction trade fair (stand 12.100), newsletter, and Facebook presence. The company holds CEBEC, AIT, and VINCOTTE certifications, qualifies customers for federal subsidies up to €8,000 per certified installation, and claims to have served over 100,000 families with 40,000+ ventilation systems and 1,000+ new heat pump installations per year.
Revenue is generated through four streams: (1) hardware sales of heat pump systems, (2) professional installation services, (3) maintenance/repair contracts executed by certified technicians, and (4) direct-to-consumer spare parts e-commerce plus electric supplementary heating products. Pricing is unit-based for parts (€18-€2,225 depending on component) and quote-based for full heat pump installations. Spare parts, thermostats, filters, and resistance elements form a recurring aftermarket revenue layer on top of the project-based installation business. Masser self-describes as the "undisputed Belgian market leader" in residential heat pump and geothermal solutions, with all products developed and manufactured in Belgium.
