Heluto

What Heluto does

Heluto B.V. is a Dutch climate-installation (HVAC) specialist headquartered in Diever, Netherlands, operating as an autonomous subsidiary of the VDK Groep (a Dutch conglomerate of more than 100 installation and technical-services companies with approximately 5,000 employees). The company designs, engineers, installs, and services indoor climate systems — including cooling, heating, ventilation, heat-pump technology, air-source heat pumps branded as the Heluto lucht-warmtepomp, and VRF Klimaatsystemen — for commercial, healthcare, industrial, retail and residential clients across the Netherlands. Technical differentiation rests on the proprietary Heluto heat-pump line, integration with Priva building management systems and Easy IO regeltechniek for fine-grained HVAC control, and F-gassen-certified in-house installers capable of delivering full gas-free (aardgasvrij) installations.

The business operates a hybrid B2B and B2C go-to-market. The primary motion is enterprise field sales: Heluto wins quote-based, project-priced installation contracts directly with construction main contractors, building owners and end-clients on commercial, healthcare, industrial and residential builds, then executes with its own fitters and project managers. A smaller direct-to-consumer channel serves individual homeowners and housing associations via the corporate website. Revenue is generated from three streams: one-time project-based HVAC/climate installation work, recurring maintenance and service contracts (Beheer en onderhoud, with 24/7 breakdown support) on the installed base, and hardware sales of climate equipment bundled into installations. Pricing is quote-based per project, not publicly disclosed, and is typically structured as multi-year engagements. With approximately 65 FTE, named reference customers across healthcare (Spectrum Medisch Centrum Meppel), retail (C&A), precision manufacturing (Vossebelt, Agrifac, Wovar) and residential housing (Meppel Dagelyks, 35 appartementen Lelystad), and a 50+ year operating history, Heluto is a regionally rooted, full-service climate installer addressing the Dutch energy-transition and gas-free retrofit opportunity.
