Holen Installasjon AS

What Holen Installasjon AS does

Holen Installasjon AS is a family-controlled Norwegian electrical contractor headquartered in Sogndal, with roots tracing to the 1936 founding of A.J.Holen A/S and the 1989 spin-off that created the current entity. It operates across inner Sogn in Vestland county through a four-branch network (Sogndal, Vik, Gaupne, Leikanger) and a 24-hour emergency hotline for business customers, employing roughly 50 people under third-generation managing director Agnar Holen. The firm's revenue mix blends project-based electrical installation work with recurring service agreements covering internal-control compliance (Internkontrollforskriften), periodic maintenance, and emergency response.

The service portfolio spans conventional electrical installation for residential and commercial properties alongside higher-value technical categories: certified smart-home systems on Eaton xComfort and KNX platforms (claimed 20–40% heating-cost reduction), a tiered EV home-charger line (Mode 3/Type 2 in three variants), NEMKO-certified thermography, and FG 750/760 fire-alarm systems with DIBK Ansvarsrett Tiltaksklasse 3 approval. Customers fall into three segments: private/residential, business/commercial, and public sector, served via direct sales, service-agreement subscriptions, a Microsoft Bookings self-serve calendar, and project-based delivery.

The go-to-market is sales-led and locally embedded, supported by an Elfag cooperative affiliation, multiple Norwegian regulatory authorizations (EKOM, Startbank, registered elektroinstallatør), and broad community sponsorship in inner Sogn. Pricing is largely time-and-materials for service jobs, with fixed-price offers for standardized residential work (e.g., NOK 1,990 incl. VAT for a USB-charger replacement). The firm is pursuing Miljøfyrtårn (Eco-Lighthouse) certification as its next institutional milestone.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Assemblin: Nordic technical installer covering electrical, heating/plumbing, and automation. Closely comparable to Holen on electrical installation and service contracts, though Assemblin operates as a multi-discipline national player rather than a single-region specialist.
• Caverion Norge: Norwegian arm of a Nordic technical building-systems contractor executing electrical, fire-safety, and smart-building projects. Comparable to Holen on fire alarm, building automation, and service-agreement revenue, with materially larger project scale.
• GK Norge: Norwegian technical contractor specializing in electro, HVAC, and building automation. Comparable to Holen on electrical installation, smart-building/automation (KNX-style systems), and service agreements, but with national reach and a multi-discipline portfolio.
• Bravida Norge: Largest Nordic multi-technical service contractor with a substantial Norwegian electrical-installation footprint. Comparable because it delivers the same core electrical contracting, fire alarm, and service-agreement offerings Holen provides, but at national scale across commercial, public, and infrastructure projects.
• YIT Norge: Norwegian construction and building-systems contractor delivering electrical installations and technical building services. Comparable to Holen on commercial electrical contracting and after-sales service, though YIT operates nationally as part of a broader construction platform.
• Eltel Networks: Nordic electrical and telecom infrastructure contractor with strong EKOM and fiber expertise. Comparable to Holen on the combination of electrical work, EKOM authorization, and recurring service/maintenance revenue.

Regional players

• NTE Elektro: Regional electrical contractor affiliated with the Trøndelag energy group, providing installation, EV charging, and energy services. Comparable to Holen because it combines traditional electrical contracting with EV charging and energy-efficiency offerings, though NTE is anchored in a different Norwegian region.

Direct peers

• OneCo Norge: Norwegian electrical and telecom infrastructure contractor delivering electrical installations, EKOM-authorized telecom work, and service contracts. Closely comparable to Holen on the electrical-plus-ICT/EKOM combination and on regional/customer-overlap profiles.
• EL-PROFFEN: Norwegian chain of locally-owned electrical contractors providing installation, service, and smart-home solutions. Comparable to Holen on local branch model, electrical contracting, smart-home offerings, and recurring service contracts, with similar small-to-mid regional scale.
• Sogn Elektriske: Regional electrical contractor in the Sogn region offering installation, service, and automation for residential and commercial customers. Comparable to Holen as a same-region peer with overlapping service offerings, customer base, and scale.
