So you’ve decided it’s finally time to install an AC. Smart move! But with all the options out there, where do you even start? Whether you’re cooling a Nairobi apartment, a Mombasa office, or a Kisumu salon, here’s what to consider when picking the right unit.
1. Room Size Matters
A small bedroom can work perfectly with a 9000 BTU unit. A bigger living room or office? You might need a 12000–18000 BTU setup. Undersized units overwork; oversized units waste energy.
2. Consider Inverter Technology
Inverter ACs are energy-efficient and quieter. They adjust cooling based on room temperature and use less power—a great long-term investment for homes or businesses.
3. Dust and Humidity
Areas like Rongai or Kitengela tend to be dusty. Go for a unit with easily cleanable filters. Coastal areas? Look for anti-corrosion features to handle salty air.
4. Brand Reliability
Stick with trusted brands available locally—Daikin, LG, Samsung, and Midea are all solid options. We’ve worked with them all and know what performs best in our Kenyan climate.
5. After-Sales Support
Buy your unit from a supplier with a solid warranty and accessible support. Better yet—get it installed by professionals like us to avoid voiding your warranty.
