Luijten

What Luijten does

Luijten (legally Luijten Verwarming B.V. and Luijten Installatietechniek B.V.) is a Dutch mechanical-installation specialist headquartered in Lekkerkerk, Krimpenerwaard, serving the broader Rotterdam/Zuid-Holland region. The company delivers a full 'totaal installateur' (total installation) portfolio spanning seven service lines: central heating (CV), plumbing, sanitary installations, heat pump systems (air-water, hybrid, and ground-source/bodemenergie), mechanical ventilation and heat recovery (WTW), zinc roofing and cladding, and cooling/air conditioning. Its technology base is conventional but well-certified, combining field-deployed digital tablets for real-time work-order management with quality equipment from established brands such as Intergas, LG, Panasonic, Daikin, and Itho Daalderop.

Customers are split between private homeowners (B2C), housing associations and corporations such as QuaWonen and Groen Wonen Vlist (B2B planned maintenance and renovation), and construction-sector partners including developer Roosdom Tijhuis and contractor Aannemersbedrijf Hagemans (B2B project installations). Revenue comes from three streams: one-time installation projects (per-project pricing, quote-based), recurring annual service contracts (Standard at €145.73/year, All-in at €248.16/year with auto-renewal), and on-demand emergency/hourly-rate repair work (Regie at €101.92/hour, with a 150% evening/weekend surcharge). The go-to-market is sales-led and community-led, relying on direct field sales by experienced technicians, on-site assessments, and an extensive local sponsorship footprint spanning football clubs, gymnastics, festivals, and charitable causes.

The company operates two legal entities under common family ownership led by director Patrick Luijten, with no external investors, private equity, or venture capital disclosed. Operational depth is reinforced by long-tenured staff (multiple employees at 20-30 years), an internal Luijten Academy, SBB-recognized training company status, and a deep certification stack (VCA*, BRL-100/Kiwa F-gassen, InstallQ BRL 6000-25 and BRL 6000-21/00, Rijkswaterstaat bodem+, CO Vrij, Techniek Nederland membership). The company's own facility features 144 solar panels, heat pumps, WTW, and LED lighting as a sustainability demonstration.
