Looking for the best air conditioner in Nairobi for your home or office? With so many options in the market, finding the perfect AC unit can feel overwhelming. But don’t worry—this guide breaks down everything you need to know before buying an air conditioner in Kenya.
Whether you’re upgrading an old system or installing AC for the first time, Mcool Electro Engineering Services Limited is here to help you make the right choice—comfortably and affordably.
1. Consider the Size of the Room
Before buying an AC, it’s important to match the unit’s cooling capacity with the size of your space. A system that’s too small won’t cool efficiently, and one that’s too large can waste energy.
| Room Size (sq. ft.) | Recommended BTU (Cooling Power) |
| Up to 150 | 5,000 – 6,000 BTU |
| 150 – 300 | 6,000 – 8,000 BTU |
| 300 – 500 | 10,000 – 12,000 BTU |
| 500+ | 14,000 BTU and above |
Tip from Mcool: Our technicians offer a free site visit to assess your room size and recommend the right AC capacity—saving you time and money.
2. Energy Efficiency is Key
With Nairobi’s rising energy costs, energy efficiency is non-negotiable. Look for AC units with a high Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) or an inverter compressor that adjusts speed based on cooling demand.
Benefits of energy-efficient ACs:
- Lower electricity bills
- Longer lifespan
- Environmentally friendly
Mcool Electro supplies and installs top-rated energy-saving AC brands trusted across Kenya.
3. Set a Realistic Budget
The best AC for your home in Kenya doesn’t have to break the bank. Your total budget should include:
- Unit cost
- Installation fees
- Annual maintenance
