Air conditioning prices in Kenya

AC is priced by cooling capacity, not by room. A unit sized by guesswork either short-cycles and never dehumidifies, or runs flat out and fails early — so the figures below are grouped by BTU and tonnage, which is what an engineer actually specifies against.

Every figure below is already published on our air conditioning page. We put it here so it can be found by the question you actually asked.

Air conditioning prices in Kenya — indicative ranges in Kenyan shillings
ItemPrice rangeTypical use
Wall-mounted split, 9,000–36,000 BTU (0.75–3 ton)Common choiceKES 35,000 – 180,000Offices, shops, homes
Installation of a split unitKES 15,000 – 25,000Mounting, piping, commissioning
Cassette, ceiling-mounted, 18,000–60,000 BTU (1.5–5 ton)KES 120,000 – 450,000Open-plan floors
Floor-standing / console, 24,000–60,000 BTU (2–5 ton)KES 150,000 – 400,000No ceiling work needed
Ducted split system, 36,000–120,000+ BTU (3–10+ ton)KES 300,000 – 1,500,000+Concealed distribution
VRF / VRV multi-split, 5–200+ tonsKES 1,500,000 – 50,000,000+Whole-building, zoned
Air-cooled chiller, 20–500+ tonsKES 5,000,000 – 100,000,000+Industrial and campus loads

What moves the price

  • Cooling load, not floor area. Glazing, orientation, occupancy and equipment heat decide the tonnage; two rooms of identical size can differ by a full ton.
  • Pipe run between indoor and outdoor units — long runs need larger line sets and more refrigerant, and above a limit an inline trap or oil return.
  • Inverter versus fixed speed. An inverter unit costs more to buy and less to run, and the payback depends on how many hours a day it actually runs.
  • Ceiling access and builder’s work for cassette and ducted systems, which is often the difference between two otherwise identical quotes.
  • Whether the electrical supply can carry it. A large split or a VRF outdoor unit may need a dedicated circuit, and that is electrical work, not AC work.

What the figure excludes

  • Electrical supply to the unit, isolators and any distribution board work
  • Builder’s work — coring, ceiling openings, plinths and making good
  • Condensate drainage runs beyond the immediate unit
  • Figures are ex-VAT unless stated. Kenyan VAT is 16%, so a KES 600,000 quotation is KES 696,000 payable.

A range is honest but it is not a quotation. Tell us the load and the location and you get a specific number, from an engineer, not a call centre.
