For Ugandans, storing food, beverages, and other perishables is a business and household endeavor due to the climate. Refrigeration facilities are a vital asset in a home kitchen in Wakiso, as well as in a bustling supermarket located in Kampala.
Commercial refrigeration is the type of refrigeration used in hotels, restaurants, supermarkets, butcheries, dairies, and food processors. Custom built, these machines are able to withstand heavy loads, frequent door openings, and increased running hours without sustaining damage.
Domestic refrigeration systems are low-capacity freezers, household fridges, and small wine coolers which are designed for home use. These appliances are efficient and compliment the daily routines of a modern family.
In Uganda, Fern Engineering and Supplies is a provider of both commercial and domestic refrigerators. For the fish shop, a heavy-duty display-cooler is required, while a walk-in cold room is needed for businesses. For the home, a reliable kitchen fridge completes the solution.
We offer standing fridges, display refrigerators, beverage coolers, under-counter units, combination fridge-freezers, and chest freezers. All our units have trusted manufacturers, and we offer upright fridges and display refrigerators, beverage coolers, under-counter units, and combination fridge-freezers with chest freezers.

What is the difference between commercial and domestic refrigeration?
Commercial and domestic refrigeration differ in their intended purposes. Commercial models have a higher storage capacity and are built to withstand heavy use with constant operation. Domestic models are smaller and quieter, tailored for home kitchens.
Can I use a commercial fridge at home?
Sure, but be aware that commercial models tend to be noisier and use more power than domestic models. Unless you have a very big home, we do not recommend it.
How do I choose the right size fridge or freezer?
Think about the average amount of stock or food you need to store, the available space, and budget. We can help you with the selection.
Do you install cold rooms?
Of course. We supply and install walk-in chillers and freezers and perform regular maintenance for businesses requiring bulk storage.
What happens during a power cut?
During power outages, your fridge can still be kept running with integrated generators or solar systems, offering backup solutions.
How often should I service my fridge?
Domestic or home fridges usually only need servicing once a year, while commercial models and heavy-use environments should have maintenance performed quarterly.
Do you supply energy efficient models?
Stores that rely on heavy power consumption can reduce their electricity bills with efficient models. We help businesses cut costs while still performing optimally, so we stock energy efficient models.
What about guarantees?
Yes. All our units come with manufacturer warranties, and our installation work is guaranteed.
Can refrigeration units be customized?
Yes. We can design bespoke cold storage solutions tailored to specific business requirements.
