Split Air Conditioning Systems in Kenya
In today’s modern homes, offices, and commercial spaces across Kenya, split air conditioning systems have become a preferred solution for effective climate control. Whether you’re in Nairobi’s business districts or along the humid coastal towns of Mombasa, these systems offer efficient, quiet, and energy-saving cooling tailored to local needs.
At BSM Air Conditioners Kenya, we are proud to be one of the leading suppliers and installers of Midea, Bosch, Gree, and MDV split AC units. This guide breaks down everything you need to know about split air conditioning systems — how they work, their advantages, and how to choose the right model for your space.
What is a Split Air Conditioning System?
A split air conditioning system is made up of two main components:
- Indoor Unit: Mounted on the wall or ceiling and responsible for blowing cool (or heated) air into the room.
- Outdoor Unit: Installed outside the building and houses the compressor and condenser coil.
The two units are connected by insulated copper tubing and electrical cables, making installation neat and discreet. These systems are ideal for both residential and commercial settings due to their versatility and performance.
Why Split AC Systems Are Ideal for Kenya’s Climate
Kenya experiences diverse climatic conditions — from the hot coastal regions and arid northern zones to the cooler highlands. Split air conditioning systems are uniquely suited to offer localized, efficient temperature control across all regions.
Key Benefits:
✅ Energy Efficiency
Modern split systems, especially inverter models from Gree and Bosch, consume significantly less electricity than traditional units.
✅ Quiet Operation
The noisiest components are located outside, meaning indoor units run quietly — perfect for bedrooms, offices, and boardrooms.
✅ Stylish Design
The sleek look of Midea and MDV wall units adds a modern touch to any room.
✅ Flexibility
Split ACs can cool a single room or be expanded into multi-split systems to manage entire apartments or offices.

How to Choose the Right Split Air Conditioner in Kenya
🧮 1. Room Size
Determine your room’s square meterage to calculate the required BTU (British Thermal Unit) rating.
| Room Size | Recommended BTU |
|---|---|
| 10–15 sqm | 9,000 BTU |
| 20–30 sqm | 12,000–18,000 BTU |
| 35+ sqm | 24,000 BTU+ |
🔌 2. Inverter vs Non-Inverter
- Inverter ACs: More energy-efficient, longer-lasting, and better at maintaining steady temperatures.
- Non-inverter ACs: Lower initial cost but higher electricity bills over time.
🧱 3. Installation Location
Ensure you have adequate wall space for the indoor unit and sufficient ventilation for the outdoor unit.
🛠️ 4. Professional Installation
Always use licensed technicians — like our team at BSM Air Conditioners Kenya — to ensure optimal performance and long-lasting service.
