Engineering power since 2013.
A Nairobi engineering firm that designs, installs and maintains the power systems hospitals, banks, businesses and homes depend on.
We take a client's requirement and turn it into a system that outperforms it.
Powergeekz Engineering was founded in Nairobi in 2013 to do one thing well: keep power on for the people who cannot do without it. Our work spans power backup and protection, solar generation and the storage that ties them together.
We are authorised dealers for most of the equipment we supply, which lets us guarantee genuine products and honour manufacturer warranties locally. The same engineers who design a system install it, commission it and maintain it, whether the site is a private home or a three-hundred-bed hospital.
To deliver the most dependable power backup solutions available, installed to the highest standard and supported long after handover.
To be the power engineering partner of choice in East and Central Africa, known for current technology, fair pricing and after-sales service that does not lapse.
Principles that show up in the work.
- 01
Workmanship
Installations finished to a standard we are prepared to maintain for a decade. No shortcuts behind the panel.
- 02
Integrity
Honest assessments, transparent pricing and genuine equipment. If a system is not needed, we say so.
- 03
Reliability
We turn up when it matters, because our clients run theatres, servers and banking halls.
- 04
Current technology
We track the equipment market closely and specify what is proven, not what is fashionable.
- 05
Sustainability
Solar and storage at the centre of the business, reducing the fuel and grid dependence of the sites we serve.
- 06
Long relationships
Most of our work comes from clients who have been with us for years. We intend to keep it that way.
