Haug Og Ruud Vvs As

What Haug Og Ruud Vvs As does

Haug Og Ruud Vvs As is a Norwegian technical contracting firm specializing in VVS (plumbing, ventilation, sanitation, heating, cooling, sprinklers, and building automation) for commercial and public-sector buildings. The company operates four core service lines: plumbing (rørleggertjenester), ventilation and indoor climate (ventilasjon og inneklima), technical service and maintenance (serviceteknikk), and sheet metal work (blikkenslagertjenester), with a stated specialization in energy efficiency solutions including geothermal heat pumps and conversion projects that have achieved 40-60% energy reductions for clients such as Biltema. It executes projects in three modes: as main contractor, coordinating technical contractor, or as subcontractor, depending on client need.

The company traces its name to 1894 but was established in its current form in 2015 when five partners (including Sigbjørn Dalseghagen and Odd Haugen) acquired VVS Installasjon AS. In August 2020, Instalco Nordic AB acquired the firm, embedding it within a 150+ subsidiary Nordic network of 6,000+ employees. Operations are headquartered in Lillehammer with branch offices in Otta and Dokka, serving primarily the Mjøs district and Gudbrandsdalen regions of southern Norway. Customer concentration skews toward municipalities (Lillehammer, Øyer, Gausdal, Eidsvoll), state entities (Statsbygg), and enterprise accounts (Biltema, NAMMO, Gudbrandsdal Slakteri).

Revenue is generated through project-based contracting (one-time installations and turnkey projects) supplemented by recurring service and maintenance contracts (municipal frame agreements). Customer segments span commercial/public vertical (primary) and private residential (secondary). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Marketing is primarily direct sales via project managers and service managers, with municipal procurement as the dominant channel for public-sector work. Leadership transitioned in January 2025 with Ole-Gustav Ødegård appointed as new Daglig leder.

Direct peers

• GK Gruppen AS: Norwegian specialist in ventilation, plumbing and refrigeration for commercial buildings, healthcare, education and data centers. Closely comparable portfolio (rørinstallasjon, ventilation, totalentrepriser) and directly competes for the same type of municipal and private developer work in southern Norway.
• Bravida Norway: Largest Nordic multi-discipline technical installer with substantial Norwegian operations in HVAC, plumbing and electrical. Direct competitor to Haug og Ruud for commercial, municipal and industrial technical contracts across Norway, including competing for the same frame agreements and main contractor roles.
• Comfort (kjede): Norwegian chain of independently owned plumbing and HVAC contractors serving both residential and commercial customers. Comparable business in VVS service, plumbing, heating and renovation work, and represents the franchise/network competitive model to Haug og Ruud's regional installer approach.
• Intec (Instalco): Norwegian engineering and installation subsidiary of Instalco that partners with Haug og Ruud on total technical deliveries such as the Vinstra project. Same strategic parent, directly comparable technical installation services, and a co-bidder on commercial and public sector tenders.

Broad incumbents

• Caverion Norge: Major Nordic provider of technical building solutions (HVAC, plumbing, automation, electrical) with a full-service model very similar to Haug og Ruud's combined offering. Competes directly for the same commercial and public sector building projects, but operates at much greater scale with a broader geographic and service portfolio.
• YIT Norge: Nordic technical building services provider (part of YIT group) offering HVAC, plumbing, electrical and facility services across Norway. Overlaps on commercial building technical installations and service agreements while operating at a much larger national scale.
• Assemblin Norge: Part of Nordic Assemblin group delivering electrical, HVAC and plumbing installations across Norway and the Nordics. Overlaps with Haug og Ruud on heating, plumbing, ventilation and sprinkler installations for commercial and public buildings, but at significantly larger scale and broader service breadth.

Regional players

• ØM Fjeld / VVS Entreprenørene: Regional Norwegian plumbing/VVS contractor working on commercial buildings and renovation projects in eastern Norway. Comparable service scope (plumbing, HVAC, service contracts) but operates in a different geographic catchment, competing for similar municipal and private projects.
