Understanding Packaged Air Conditioners

A packaged air conditioner is a self-contained system where all components—compressor, condenser, evaporator, and fan—are housed in a single unit. Unlike split systems, packaged units are typically installed on rooftops, outside walls, or in compact spaces, making them space-efficient and versatile. They are commonly used in Kenya for medium to large spaces, such as offices, retail stores, and homes with limited indoor space for separate units.

Proper installation and timely repairs are critical to maximizing the lifespan and efficiency of these systems. At Nairobi Repair Center, our skilled technicians bring years of experience to every job, ensuring your packaged air conditioner delivers consistent performance.
