What Härz AG does

Härz AG is a privately held Swiss Aktiengesellschaft, founded in 2020 by Christian Härz and headquartered in Gommiswald, Canton St. Gallen, with a branch office in Zürich. The company delivers electrical installation services to both private homeowners and commercial/industrial customers across Switzerland, with a published price list covering hourly rates from CHF 55 (apprentice) to CHF 210 (engineer) and service flat rates starting at CHF 120.

The company's service portfolio spans fifteen core offerings organized around five revenue streams: electrical installations, renewable energy (photovoltaic, battery storage, maintenance), electromobility infrastructure (including bidirectional EV charging), building and home automation, and device testing and certification. Technical differentiation is built on certified integration with KNX (including KNX Secure system integrator status), DALI, EnOcean, ModBus, M-Bus, and OCPP/OCA protocols, supplemented by a federal installation permit (I-289274) and an ABB KNX System Partner designation. A sister company, Elektrokontrollen Schweiz AG, supports the device testing line.

The go-to-market is direct-to-customer via website quote requests, phone, and field service delivery nationwide, with marketing through the company site, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. The firm operates with eight staff, including a multi-discipline apprenticeship pipeline, and in 2025 transitioned leadership to Tobias Kistler as Geschäftsführer while founder Christian Härz assumed the chairmanship. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Burkhalter Group: Listed Swiss electrical services group with nationwide coverage across electrical installations, building automation, and telecom infrastructure. Comparable as a one-stop electrical contractor in Switzerland but operates at far greater scale and broader service breadth than Härz AG.
• ETAVIS Grossenbacher AG: Large Swiss electrical contracting and building technology group that employs Härz AG's CEO Tobias Kistler's former colleagues. Directly competes for the same Swiss electrical installation, building automation, and renewable energy projects but at significantly greater scale and geographic reach.
• ABB Schweiz (Smart Buildings / KNX): KNX ecosystem leader and Härz AG's official ABB KNX System Partner in Switzerland. Comparable in the building-automation layer it sells into Swiss projects, though ABB operates as a manufacturer/integrator at vastly larger scale across the whole country.
• Siemens Smart Infrastructure (Schweiz): Swiss arm of a global building technologies and electrical infrastructure major. Competes with Härz AG on switchgear, building automation, and electrification projects in commercial and industrial segments, though at significantly greater scale.
• Schneider Electric Schweiz: Global building automation and electrical distribution vendor active in Switzerland. Comparable as a supplier and competitor for EV charging, building automation, and switchgear projects that Härz AG also delivers, though at much greater scale and with a broader portfolio.

Direct peers

• Elektro Egli AG Gommiswald: Former employer of Härz AG's founder Christian Härz and Roger Hofstetter. Regional Swiss electrical contractor offering overlapping installation, renovation, and service capabilities in the same St. Gallen catchment area.
• Adrian Mettler AG: Regional Swiss electrical contractor in the Linth area that has employed multiple Härz AG team members (Ramon Truniger, Lars Landolt, Alessandro Lauriello). Direct comparable in service mix — electrical installations, building automation, and residential/commercial projects — and operating in overlapping geography.
• Elektrokontrollen Schweiz AG: Sister/group company of Härz AG under common ownership. Provides device testing, electrical inspections, and certification across Switzerland — services that Härz AG also offers via its Geräteprüfung line and which share back-office resources.

Regional players

• Elektrizitätswerk Uznach AG (EW Uznach): Regional utility where founder Christian Härz previously worked as Abteilungsleiter Installation. Performs similar electrical installations, PV, and grid services but as a municipal utility in a defined concession territory.
• Urs Hager Elektro Benken: Small regional Swiss electrical contractor and former apprenticeship employer of Härz AG's Manuel Hutter. Comparable in size and service mix (installations, residential/commercial projects), operating in an adjacent St. Gallen/Linth geography.
