HVAC Design & Installation
From single residential splits to centralised VRF systems for multi-storey office blocks. Engineered for efficiency and reliability in the Kenyan climate.
Cooling systems for every application
Highly efficient, centralised commercial cooling. A single outdoor unit powers multiple indoor units with independent temperature control. Ideal for offices and hotels.
Concealed ceiling units providing even air distribution. Perfect for open-plan offices, retail showrooms, and restaurants where aesthetics matter.
Cost-effective, reliable cooling for individual rooms. We supply inverter-driven units that reduce power consumption by up to 30% compared to standard models.
Close Control Units for server rooms and data centres, maintaining exact temperature and humidity parameters 24/7/365. See our approach to server-room & data centre cooling.
Air-cooled and water-cooled chillers for massive cooling loads in industrial facilities, large hotels, and hospitals.
How we deliver HVAC projects
We take full responsibility for the system from initial site survey to final commissioning. Curious what installation typically costs? See our AC installation cost guide.
We calculate required capacity based on room volume, occupancy, equipment heat, and solar gain. No under-sizing, no over-specifying.
We propose options from leading manufacturers (Daikin, LG, Mitsubishi) that meet your budget and efficiency requirements.
Proper copper pipe brazing, pressure testing, and vacuuming by certified technicians to ensure zero refrigerant leaks.
System parameters are tested, recorded, and handed over with complete documentation and user training.
Choosing and designing a VRF/VRV system
VRF/VRV is the system we specify most often for Kenyan offices, hotels and mixed-use buildings, so it's worth explaining what goes into getting it right.
A wall split cools one room from one outdoor unit. VRF/VRV links a single outdoor condensing unit to many indoor units across a building, each zoned independently — fewer outdoor units, centralised control, and the ability to move heat between zones on some systems rather than reject it outright.
Pipe run length, branch/refnet joint placement and height difference between outdoor and indoor units all affect system performance and are worked out at design stage, not left to site improvisation.
Each indoor unit is zoned to its space, with centralised or BMS-integrated control for building-wide scheduling. See our HVAC controls & automation range.
Mission-critical spaces like server rooms often call for a more rigorous redundant design approach — see our server-room and data centre cooling case study for how this was applied on one such project. Once a system is commissioned, our maintenance plans keep it running at design performance. Comparing system types for a project? See our VRF vs ducted vs split comparison, or what to expect from our commercial AC installation process. These design priorities shift depending on the building type — explore Industries to see how they apply to hospitals, hotels, manufacturing and more.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frosten Energy Solutions provides HVAC solutions covering the assessment, installation, servicing and maintenance of air-conditioning and related HVAC systems. The appropriate solution depends on the building, usage, cooling requirements and operating conditions.
The right HVAC system depends on factors such as the size and use of the building, occupancy, cooling requirements, operating hours, available space and maintenance considerations. A proper assessment helps determine the most suitable system rather than selecting equipment based only on room size or capacity.
The appropriate maintenance frequency depends on the system, operating environment, usage and manufacturer's requirements. Commercial systems should be inspected and maintained regularly to help maintain performance, identify developing faults and reduce avoidable downtime.
Poor cooling can have several causes, including restricted airflow, dirty filters or coils, refrigerant-related problems, incorrect system sizing or mechanical and electrical faults. A professional assessment is usually needed to identify the underlying cause rather than simply treating the symptom.
Frosten provides HVAC maintenance and service support as part of its existing service offering. If you are experiencing performance problems or need maintenance on an existing system, provide the system details and site information when making an enquiry so the requirement can be assessed.
Start with a site survey.
Our engineers will assess your premises, load requirements, and constraints to recommend the exact system needed.
