Élan Climat & Énergie was founded in Nairobi in 2018 by a team of mechanical and electrical engineers who shared a single conviction: that buildings across Kenya deserved infrastructure that was not merely functional but genuinely excellent.
What began as a boutique HVAC consultancy has evolved into a full-spectrum building systems company — designing, installing, and servicing HVAC, solar, refrigeration, electrical, and elevator systems across residential, commercial, and industrial properties in Kenya.
Every project we take on — from a single split unit in a Westlands apartment to a 1 MW solar installation for a factory in Athi River — is treated with the same precision, care, and commitment to lasting performance.
Partner With Us
To improve lives and power progress across East Africa by providing innovative, reliable, and sustainable engineering solutions — from climate control to clean energy — with integrity, precision, and a deep commitment to the communities we serve.
To be East Africa's most trusted engineering partner — the firm that every developer, facility manager, and institution calls first when the system must work, without exception, for the life of the building.
Buildings should perform as well on day 3,000 as they do on day one. We exist to make that standard attainable in Kenya and across the region — not as a luxury, but as a baseline expectation.
These are not values we framed for a website. They are the standards our engineers hold themselves to on every site, every day.
Our leadership team brings together decades of combined experience in mechanical engineering, electrical systems, renewable energy, and project management — all grounded in the realities of building in Kenya.
Sustainability is not a department at Élan, it is embedded in how we specify equipment, how we dispose of old units, and how we measure project success. Every installation comes with an energy performance benchmark.
We offset the carbon footprint of our installation fleet, prioritise refrigerants with low global warming potential, and have planted over 2,400 trees through our Nairobi Green Sites programme since 2021.
We sponsor 12 engineering students annually through the Élan Scholar programme at Kenyan polytechnics and universities, with guaranteed internship placements on completion.
All supplier relationships are governed by our ethical procurement policy. We publish an annual ESG report available on request, covering emissions, waste, and community investment.
Whether you're planning a new building, upgrading an existing system, or exploring solar; start with a conversation.
