Our Cold Room Installation Process

We follow a strict, professional engineering lifecycle to guarantee that your cold storage facility runs flawlessly from day one:
  1. Free Site Assessment & Load Calculation: Our engineers evaluate your site location, ventilation, power supply, and thermal load requirements based on what you plan to store.
  2. Custom System Design: We select the exact compressor horsepower, evaporator size, and panel thickness needed to maintain your target temperature efficiently.
  3. Transparent Quotation: You receive a detailed bill of quantities (BQ) breaking down materials, equipment brands, and labor costs with no hidden fees.
  4. Professional Installation: Our certified technicians assemble the insulated panels, run precise copper piping, wire the control panels, and install heavy-duty doors.
  5. Testing & Commissioning: We pressure-test the system for leaks, charge the refrigerant, run the cold room down to its target temperature, and program the digital controllers.
  6. After-Sales Support & Maintenance: We provide ongoing preventative maintenance, emergency troubleshooting, and a steady inventory of spare parts in Nairobi to prevent any business downtime.
How Much Does a Cold Room Cost in Kenya?
Because every cold storage facility is custom-engineered, there is no single fixed price. The total investment for a cold room or freezer room in Kenya depends on five core pricing factors:
  • Room Dimensions (Volume): The length, width, and height of the structure. Larger rooms require more insulated panels and higher-capacity cooling machinery.
  • Temperature Requirements: Chiller rooms (0°C to +10°C) for fresh produce require less power and insulation than heavy-duty Blast Freezers (-18°C to -25°C) meant for frozen meats or seafood.
  • Insulation Panel Type & Thickness: The choice between Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), Polyurethane (PUR), or Polyisocyanurate (PIR) flame-retardant panels, ranging from 100mm to 150mm depending on the cold chain strictness.
  • Equipment Brand & Horsepower (HP): Deploying premium, energy-efficient brands like Bitzer, Copeland, Danfoss, or Tecumseh guarantees long-term durability but affects initial equipment costs.
  • Project Site Location: Transporting materials and dispatching technical installation teams from our Nairobi depots to distant counties affects logistical pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cold Rooms in Kenya

  1. How much power does a commercial cold room consume?
    Power consumption depends entirely on the room’s size, insulation thickness, and the horsepower (HP) of your compressor. At Cuma Refrigeration, we use energy-efficient brands like Bitzer, Tecumseh and Copeland combined with high-density, 100mm–150mm polyurethane (PUR/PIR) panels. This premium insulation locks in the cold, meaning your cooling machinery runs less often, reducing monthly KPLC power bills by up to 30% compared to poorly insulated setups.
  2. Does a cold room require 3-phase power or backup power in Kenya?
    Smaller walk-in chillers can run on standard single-phase (240V) power, while larger freezer rooms and blast freezers require a 3-phase (415V) connection. We also integrate voltage stabilizers, phase-failure relays, and automatic generator changeover switches to protect your stock against Kenya Power surges and outages.
  3. How long does it take to complete a cold room installation?
    A standard commercial walk-in cold room or freezer room takes between 5 to 10 working days to fully install, test, and commission on-site once the civil works and materials are delivered. Larger industrial logistics facilities or complex multi-tier mortuary setups can take 2 to 3 weeks depending on the technical scope.
  4. Do you install cold rooms and deliver spare parts outside Nairobi?
    Yes, Cuma Refrigeration operates countrywide. While our primary technical depots are located in Nairobi CBD and Kamakis (Ruiru), our engineering teams regularly travel across Kenya to handle installations, emergency repairs, and scheduled servicing. We serve clients throughout Kiambu, Thika, Machakos, Nakuru, Naivasha, Mombasa, Eldoret, Kisumu, Nyeri, Lamu, Kajiado, Meru, Garissa and other counties.
  5. What information do you need to give me an accurate price quotation?
    To generate a precise Bill of Quantities (BQ), we ideally need to know:
    • Your target dimensions (Length × Width × Height in feet or meters).
    • The specific product you are storing (fresh produce, meat, dairy, pharmaceuticals).
    • Your required temperature profile (Chiller room vs. Blast Freezer).
    • The exact project site location for logistical planning.
