HVAC System
Frosten Energy Solutions

Precision-engineered HVAC, refrigeration and ventilation for Kenya's most demanding buildings.

Nairobi-based engineering firm delivering residential, commercial and industrial systems from design to 24/7 aftercare. No subcontractors. No guesswork.

Four engineering disciplines. One accountable team.

From the first site survey to commissioning and aftercare, the same engineering team stays accountable for how the system performs.

HVAC Systems

Frosten designs and installs systems ranging from individual residential splits to centralised VRF systems for multi-storey office blocks. Ducted and cassette units provide even air distribution where the layout and finish matter, while precision cooling keeps server rooms within exact temperature and humidity parameters.

We begin with a heat-load calculation based on room volume, occupancy, equipment heat and solar gain rather than selecting equipment from floor area alone. The team then selects from leading manufacturers, installs with proper copper-pipe brazing, pressure testing and vacuuming, and hands over a tested system with documentation and user training.

Cold Chain

Commercial Refrigeration

Commercial refrigeration covers walk-in cold rooms for fresh produce, dairy and pharmaceuticals, freezer rooms for frozen stock, blast chillers and freezers, display refrigeration for retail, and condensing units matched to the required duty. The operating temperature, product load, turnover rate and door traffic all shape the system.

Frosten engineers robust cold-chain infrastructure around the actual storage requirement. High-density insulated panels reduce compressor run-time, matched condensers and evaporators support efficient operation, and high-value or regulated stock can be protected with dual-circuit standby systems, auto-changeover controls and optional temperature logging.

Air Quality

Ventilation & Extraction

Frosten supplies commercial kitchen extract canopies, filtered fresh-air make-up systems, industrial fume extraction, washroom extract and basement car-park ventilation. These systems remove grease, smoke, heat, fumes or vehicle exhaust while maintaining the pressure and air-change requirements of the space.

The design starts with the process and building use, then carries through to custom-fabricated ductwork, acoustic treatment, volume-control dampers and fire dampers where ducts cross fire-rated walls. Commissioning engineers balance airflow across the system so the installed equipment works as intended, not just as specified on paper.

Aftercare

Planned Maintenance

Maintenance protects the performance of HVAC, refrigeration and ventilation equipment after installation. Frosten's planned preventive maintenance work includes filter and coil cleaning, refrigerant pressure checks, electrical inspection, drainage checks and service reporting, with priorities adjusted for the equipment and operating environment.

For demanding facilities, the team offers monthly or customised schedules, priority call-outs and 24/7 emergency response. Catching low refrigerant, vibrating bearings, failing contactors, restricted airflow or other developing faults early helps reduce avoidable downtime and keeps critical systems available.
