Cooling and Refrigeration Systems in Kenya
A cold room that can’t hold temperature. An air conditioner that dies in the middle of a heatwave. A milk cooler that fails the night before collection. In Kenya’s climate, cooling is not a luxury – it is the difference between profit and loss.
Isothermal Mechanical Engineering Limited specializes in industrial and commercial refrigeration systems, air conditioning, and advanced cooling technologies. From cold room installation in Nairobi to large ammonia refrigeration plants for factories, our engineers design, install, service, and repair cooling systems that businesses across Kenya depend on every day.

Cold Room Installation in Kenya
Cold rooms are the backbone of hotels, restaurants, supermarkets, butcheries, flower farms, and pharmaceutical storage. A poorly built cold room leaks cold air, overworks the compressor, and drives your power bill through the roof.
We design and install cold rooms sized to your actual needs — chill rooms for fresh produce, freezer rooms for meat and fish, and specialized rooms for medical and laboratory storage. Every installation includes proper insulation, correctly sized refrigeration equipment, and reliable temperature control. And because we also service what we build, your cold room stays in top condition long after handover.
Commercial and Industrial Refrigeration
Commercial Refrigeration
Restaurants, hotels, supermarkets, and shops need cooling that works around the clock. We install and service display chillers, commercial freezers, bottle coolers, and kitchen refrigeration — and we respond fast when a unit goes down and stock is at risk.
Industrial Refrigeration and Refrigeration Plants
Factories, food processors, and cold storage facilities need serious cooling capacity. We design and install complete refrigeration plants, including compressor installation, piping, controls, and commissioning. Whether you are building a new facility or upgrading an aging plant, our engineers deliver systems built for heavy, continuous duty.
Ammonia and CO₂ Refrigeration Systems
For large-scale industrial cooling, natural refrigerants lead the way. We design and install:
- Ammonia (NH₃) refrigeration systems — highly efficient for large plants such as food processing, beverage production, and cold storage warehouses
- Carbon dioxide (CO₂) refrigeration systems — a modern, environmentally friendly option gaining ground in commercial and industrial applications
Both options cut energy costs and reduce environmental impact compared to older synthetic refrigerants.
Air Conditioning Services in Nairobi
Comfortable staff are productive staff — and in server rooms, hospitals, and laboratories, temperature control is a technical requirement, not a comfort issue. Our air conditioning services cover:
- AC installation — split units, multi-split systems, and central systems for offices, hotels, hospitals, and institutions
- VRF/VRV system installation — efficient, zoned climate control for larger buildings
- Air handling unit (AHU) installation — proper air distribution for commercial and industrial spaces
- AC repairs and maintenance — fast fault diagnosis, genuine spare parts, and scheduled servicing that keeps units efficient
Dairy and Agricultural Cooling
Kenya’s dairy sector runs on cold chain. We install and service milk coolers that keep raw milk at safe temperatures from evening milking to morning collection — protecting farmer income and milk quality. We also support agricultural clients with produce cold rooms and packhouse cooling.
Refrigeration Products and Equipment We Supply
Beyond services, we stock genuine refrigeration products and HVAC components:
- Air conditioning equipment and AC units
- Compressors
- Solenoid valves
- Copper pipes in standard refrigeration sizes — 1/4″, 3/8″, 1/2″, 5/8″, and more
- Refrigerant gases — R-134a, R-404A, R-407C, R-410A, and R-32
Buying from a supplier that also installs and services refrigeration systems means you get the right gas, the right pipe size, and honest technical advice with every purchase.
Why Preventive Maintenance Pays for Itself
Most refrigeration breakdowns give warning signs weeks in advance — rising power consumption, longer run times, ice buildup, strange compressor sounds. A preventive maintenance plan catches these early. The benefits add up quickly:
- Lower electricity bills from clean, correctly charged systems
- Longer compressor and equipment life
- Fewer emergency callouts and spoiled stock
- Consistent temperatures that keep you compliant with health and safety standards
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does cold room installation cost in Kenya?
Cold room costs depend on size, temperature range (chiller or freezer), insulation thickness, and refrigeration capacity. Contact Isothermal Mechanical Engineering Limited on +254 722 943 097 for a site assessment and a quote tailored to your needs.
Do you repair commercial fridges and freezers?
Yes. We repair and service commercial freezers, display chillers, domestic fridges and freezers, and full refrigeration systems across Nairobi and beyond.
Which refrigerant gas do I need — R-134a, R-404A, R-410A, or R-32?
Each system is designed for a specific refrigerant, and using the wrong one damages equipment. R-404A is common in commercial refrigeration, R-410A and R-32 in air conditioning, and R-134a in many chillers and domestic systems. Our technicians will identify the correct gas for your unit and recharge it properly.
Do you install VRF/VRV air conditioning systems?
Yes. We install VRF/VRV systems and air handling units for offices, hotels, hospitals, and commercial buildings that need efficient, zoned climate control.
Can you maintain our refrigeration equipment on a contract?
Absolutely. We offer preventive maintenance contracts for cold rooms, refrigeration plants, chillers, and air conditioning systems — scheduled servicing that keeps your equipment reliable year-round.
