Reliable service and comprehensive support
Blikksmiðurinn hf provides end-to-end solutions from innovative design to seamless installation. The in-house design team provides design and support for both engineers and customers, while the team of expert electricians takes care of system connection and commissioning. Additionally, the company’s service team takes care of service and maintenance, typically continuing with service contracts with customers when the project is finished. This highlights the commitment to delivering products and ensuring flawless performance and that the systems operate at peak efficiency.
A partnership of mutual respect
For over 25 years, the company has partnered with Systemair, beginning as a customer of the German fan producer LTI, which Systemair later acquired. Initially focused on roof and tube fans, the collaboration expanded in 2005 to include DV air handling units (AHUs) from Denmark. Building on this success, the company introduced additional Systemair products, including Topvex air handling units, fire dampers, and VAV/CAV solutions starting in 2009.
We've enjoyed a long and fruitful partnership with Systemair, characterised by mutual respect and collaboration. If we could summarise it in one phrase, it would be, 'There is always a solution.' Communication has been smooth, and overall, doing business has been easy. Over the years, we've worked with a highly skilled and dedicated team.
