What LYS OG VARME AS does

Lys og Varme AS is a privately held Norwegian electrical and EKOM (communications) installation contractor founded in 1976 and headquartered in Oslo. The company operates a project division handling large-scale installations under collaborative contracts (samspillsentrepriser) and a service division providing aftermarket support via 15 service vehicles, serving commercial, institutional, and government clients across the Oslo metropolitan area. Core offerings span electrical power installations, lighting systems, EV charging stations, solar panel systems, UPS and backup power, fire alarm and access control, CCTV, communication networks, intercom, emergency lighting, and energy efficiency measures, with KNX-based smart building automation as a differentiated capability.

The business model is project-based and service-based, generating revenue primarily through total enterprise contracts for large installations and recurring professional services for existing clients. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is tailored per project; the company holds Sentral godkjenning (Central Approval) from DIBK, authorization as a registered electrical installer, and Ekomnett authorization from Nkom, which together qualify it for government and large institutional tenders. Customer concentration is spread across notable Norwegian counterparties including Statsbygg, NAV, IKEA, Entra ASA, OBOS Eiendom, Skanska, Aspelin Ramm, and Höegh Eiendom, covering projects such as the Regjeringskvartalet A-Blokken government building, IKEA Vestby logistics center, and the Christian Kroghs gate 2 office development.

The company employs approximately 60 staff, maintains Miljøfyrtårn environmental certification (2023), operates as a Godkjent lærebedrift (Approved Training Company), and is a KNX partner. Its documented geographic footprint is the Oslo and Eastern Norway region, with no disclosed expansion beyond Norway. The firm complies with the Norwegian Transparency Act (Åpenhetsloven) and has published a 2025 sustainability strategy emphasizing collaborative contracts, green transition offerings, and supplier-chain engagement. No acquisitions, funding rounds, or external investment are evident in the available data, consistent with an organic-growth, founder-era contractor model.
