Every satisfying steam room rests on one decision made correctly at the start: the steam generator. The generator boils water into steam and delivers it into the room, and if it is undersized the room never fills properly, while if it is oversized you pay for capacity you cannot use. Refitec Kenya provides professional steam generator installation in Nairobi and across Kenya, selecting, fitting, plumbing, wiring, and commissioning generators for residential and commercial steam environments.
Choosing the Correct Generator Size
Generator sizing follows the volume of the steam room in cubic metres, adjusted for construction. A room with extensive glass or tile surfaces and limited insulation demands more output than a compact, well-insulated enclosure, so we measure and calculate rather than estimate. Correct sizing produces rapid steam production, full room humidity, and efficient running, while incorrect sizing is the most common cause of disappointing steam rooms. Our survey determines the required kilowatt rating before any equipment is ordered.
Where the Generator Lives
The generator is installed outside the steam room itself, typically within fifteen metres of the steam outlet. Suitable locations include adjacent service cupboards, ceiling voids with access, plant rooms, and ventilated vanity compartments in homes. The location must allow plumbing connections, electrical access, drainage for the auto-flush, and enough clearance for future servicing and descaling. We advise on the ideal position during the survey, because serviceability determines the lifetime cost of ownership.
Our Installation Process
A Refitec Kenya installation proceeds in disciplined stages. We mount the generator on its bracket with vibration isolation, connect the treated water supply through an isolation valve, and run the steam line in insulated pipe to the steam head positioned safely away from seating. We install the steam head with its protective cover to prevent scalding and its aromatherapy reservoir where fitted. We route the drain line for automatic drain-down systems so that water empties after each session, keeping the tank fresh. Electrically, we install a dedicated supply of correct rating with residual current protection, and we wire the low-voltage control panel at the position you prefer, inside or outside the enclosure. Finally, we commission the system: filling, heating, steam delivery, temperature control, timer function, and drain-down are all verified through complete cycles before handover.
Features That Add Value
Modern generators offer features that improve hygiene, comfort, and economy, and we install them all. Automatic drain-down flushes stale water after each session, reducing scale and bacteria risk. Water treatment connections soften feed water and dramatically slow scale accumulation, which matters greatly in Nairobi’s mineral-rich supply. Dual-tank systems extend steam production for heavy commercial use. Smart controls allow session scheduling and precise temperature holding. We specify features honestly, matching them to your usage rather than selling complexity you do not need.
Commercial Installations
For hotels, gyms, and spas, we install commercial generators with duty-cycle-appropriate ratings, cascaded units for continuous steam, and integration with building management systems where required. Our commercial commissioning includes extended testing and staff training.
Frequently Asked Questions
A common question is how to know whether a heater fault needs an element or a control repair. The patterns differ: cold heaters with healthy controls usually indicate elements, while heaters that heat erratically usually indicate controls or sensors, and our on-site measurements settle the question definitively before any part is replaced.
