Kardia As

What Kardia As does

Kardia AS is a Norwegian private company, founded in 2017 and headquartered in Kråkstad roughly 30 km south of Oslo, that operates two complementary product lines for the residential construction market. The Kardia Prefab business sells a family of seven prefabricated technical room modules that consolidate water, heating, electrical, and ventilation distribution into a single factory-built unit for new-build residential projects; these are sold on project-specific quotes to property developers and builders. The Kardia Smart business provides a smart home automation platform anchored on a multi-protocol hub that supports Z-Wave, Zigbee, Bluetooth, and WiFi, paired with a mobile app and an integration library covering Nordic and European device vendors including Fibaro, Heatit, Elko, Nor-dan, Adax, Glamox, and Namron. Smart systems are listed at approximately NOK 30,000–60,000 per installation, putting them in the mid-range consumer / prosumer tier.

Kardia’s revenue mechanics combine one-off hardware sales (Prefab project quotes and Smart hardware bundles), recurring filter revenue through the Kardia Rød Pakke subscription, and installation and programming services. The go-to-market is dual-channel: a B2B route through partnerships with Norwegian residential builders — ABChus, Vestlandshus, VEBO, Treteknikk, Bico, and Nordbolig are publicly named — and a B2C route through direct homeowner purchase and installation. Distribution is run from the Follo / Østfold region but extends nationwide through established parcel carriers (Bring, PostNord).

The firm’s recent strategic emphasis has been on broadening the product surface (Kardia Standard 2nd Generation and Kardia Nano, both launched September 2025) and on securing larger multi-unit developer contracts, evidenced by the deployment of Kardia Nano at the Steinsfjorden Terrasse 180-apartment project. With a disclosed headcount in the 1–10 employee band and no external funding publicly announced, Kardia operates as a small, regionally anchored specialist supplier to the Norwegian residential construction market.

Core offering

Kardia AS manufactures and sells prefabricated technical room modules (Kardia Prefab) that consolidate water distribution, heating, electrical distribution, and ventilation into a single pre-wired unit for new residential construction. The company also provides a smart home automation platform (Kardia Smart) — comprising a multi-protocol hub (Z-Wave, Zigbee, Bluetooth, WiFi) and mobile app — for lighting, climate, ventilation, door lock, and air quality control in both new builds and existing homes. Installation and programming services, plus an annual filter subscription, complete the offering.

Product overview

Kardia AS offers two integrated product lines: Kardia Prefab (prefabricated technical rooms) and Kardia Smart (smart home automation). Kardia Prefab comprises seven housing module variants (Standard 2nd Generation, Compact, Alta, Eco, Pico, Nano, and Flex) that consolidate all technical systems (water, heating, electrical, ventilation) into compact units ranging from under 1m² to full-size rooms. Kardia Smart is a connected home platform centered on the Kardia Smart Hub supporting Z-Wave, Zigbee, Bluetooth, and WiFi wireless standards, controlled via a dedicated mobile app. The two product lines are designed to work together, with Kardia Smart enabling control of ventilation and other systems within Kardia Prefab units. Additionally, leak detection systems (FlowStop Easy) are integrated into prefab units for water damage prevention.
