Real, transparent pricing for walk-in chillers, freezers and warehouse-scale cold storage.
Cold room pricing in Kenya varies more than AC pricing because size, insulation grade and refrigeration capacity all scale together — a small restaurant walk-in and a warehouse-scale export cold store are completely different projects. Below are real price bands based on our own installations across Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu and Nakuru.
| Size / Type | Typical Use | Installed Price Range (KSh) |
|---|---|---|
| Small walk-in chiller (approx. 2m x 2m) | Restaurants, small retail shops | 450,000 – 650,000 |
| Medium walk-in chiller/freezer (approx. 3m x 4m) | Supermarkets, medium retailers, hotels | 700,000 – 1,200,000 |
| Large commercial cold storage | Distributors, agri-processing, exporters | 1,500,000+ |
| Blast freezer (any size) | Fast-freezing for fish, meat, seafood | Quoted after free site survey |
| Warehouse-scale / export-grade cold storage | Fish, flower and produce exporters | Quoted after free site survey |

A small walk-in cold room for a restaurant or shop typically starts from around KSh 450,000 to 500,000. Medium commercial rooms range from KSh 700,000 to 1.5 million, and larger warehouse-scale or export-grade cold storage is priced individually after a free site survey.
The biggest factors are floor area and ceiling height (total volume to cool), insulation panel thickness, whether it's a chiller or freezer, and site factors like access for panel delivery and available power supply.
Yes, blast freezers use a significantly more powerful refrigeration system to drop temperature very quickly, which increases both equipment cost and electrical supply requirements compared to a standard freezer room.
Slightly. Coastal and lakeside installations often specify additional corrosion protection and higher-capacity condensing units, which can push pricing a little above the standard Nairobi range — see our Mombasa, Kisumu and Nakuru pages for area-specific detail.
