Verkkokauppa.com and Holiday Club partner to retrofit over 1,400 air source heat pumps

Verkkokauppa.com and Holiday Club have launched a retrofit project to install over 1,400 air source heat pumps in holiday apartments managed by Holiday Club. This is one of the largest air source heat pump projects ever undertaken in Finland. Through this partnership, Verkkokauppa.com is also accelerating the shift of project sales to online channels by leveraging its efficient delivery platform.

Verkkokauppa.com has been the primary supplier of small electronics and household appliances for Holiday Club and its managed holiday apartments since the beginning of 2022.

“Our partnership has been excellent and continues to expand. We are proud to now offer high-quality, durable air source heat pumps to meet our partner's needs. It’s great to be involved in improving the energy efficiency and comfort of Holiday Club’s holiday apartments, especially with future summer heatwaves in mind,” says Lauri Niklander, Account Executive and project lead at Lauri Niklander.

A unique aspect of Verkkokauppa.com’s solution is that the individual real estate companies managed by Holiday Club can place their own orders directly online once the procurement decision has been made.

“Verkkokauppa.com has helped us implement an easily manageable order-to-delivery process for small electronics and appliances. Now, we are extending this partnership to an air source heat pump project that improves living comfort. The comprehensive solution offered by Verkkokauppa.com—from ordering to installation and maintenance—combined with an excellent product, proved to be the best choice for our needs,” says Holiday Club’s Procurement Manager Ismo Karjalainen.

Samsung air source heat pumps were ultimately selected for the Holiday Club sites, with Installer Suomi Oy serving as Verkkokauppa.com’s installation partner for the project.

"Samsung units have proven to be exceptionally durable and energy-efficient in weather conditions like those in Finland. They also feature user-friendly and unique remote control capabilities, which significantly simplify the centralized management of units across different real estate companies," Niklander adds.

Verkkokauppa.com is committed to developing its product and service offering to further enhance the customer experience in the future.

"The project with Holiday Club highlights our ability to provide even more expert service and high-quality, customer-oriented solutions," concludes Verkkokauppa.com’s B2B Sales Director Lari Hevonoja.

*Holiday Club is one of Finland's leading tourism and leisure housing companies, operating eight spa hotels and managing approximately 150 holiday apartment real estate companies across Finland. Holiday Club Katinkulta is one of the largest holiday resorts in the Nordic countries, with a total of 577 holiday apartments and more under construction.
