Gas prices can change based on brand, location, supplier, and market conditions. Always confirm the current price and delivery fee with Permalli Gas Suppliers before placing an order.
Understanding Gas Cylinder Prices in Kenya
Cooking gas in Kenya is sold as Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) in refillable steel cylinders. When customers search for “gas cylinder prices Kenya,” they are usually comparing the cost of refilling or exchanging an existing cylinder, or buying a new cylinder that already contains gas.
Prices differ depending on whether you are:
- Refilling or exchanging an empty cylinder — you pay mainly for the gas.
- Buying a new cylinder — you pay for the gas plus the steel container, deposit, and valve.
Because LPG is a regulated product, licensed suppliers such as Permalli Gas Suppliers must follow weigh-scale verification and EPRA sealing standards. Unlicensed street vendors may advertise lower prices, but they risk selling underfilled, expired, or tampered cylinders.
Verified Gas Cylinder Prices in Kenya
The following prices were verified from Permalli Gas Suppliers’ published refill configurator and apply at its Thika depot. Delivery fees, where applicable, are additional.
| Cylinder Size | Typical Use | Verified Price (KES) |
|---|---|---|
| 6 kg | Small households, single burners, students | KSh 1,050 |
| 13 kg | Average family homes | KSh 2,200 |
| 50 kg | Commercial kitchens, institutions | KSh 9,900 |
Important: These prices may vary by brand, location, and supplier. Confirm the total cost—including any delivery charge—before paying.
Orders over KSh 1,500 may qualify for a free hose connection, pressure leak check, and regulator calibration.
Factors That Influence Gas Cylinder Prices in Kenya
Several factors determine what you will pay for a gas cylinder in Kenya:
Cylinder size
Larger cylinders cost more in absolute terms but often offer a lower cost per kilogram of gas. A 50kg cylinder suits commercial users, while a 6kg cylinder is more affordable upfront for small households.
Brand
EPRA-recognised brands such as Pro-Gas, K-Gas, TotalEnergies, Afrigas, SeaGas, and Hass Gas may have slightly different refill rates based on distribution and valve compatibility.
Location
Transport and logistics costs mean prices can vary between Thika, Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, and rural areas. A refill in Thika may not cost the same as one in Nairobi.
New vs. exchange
Buying a brand-new cylinder costs more than exchanging an empty one because you are paying for the steel container as well as the gas.
Delivery fees
Doorstep delivery adds a fee that depends on distance and zone. Always ask for the delivery cost to your specific estate.
Market conditions
Global LPG prices, foreign exchange rates, and local supply dynamics can cause prices to shift over time.
Cylinder Size Comparison: Which Size Should You Choose?
Choosing the right cylinder size depends on your household size, cooking frequency, and budget.
| Cylinder Size | Typical Use | Verified Price (KES) | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 kg | Small households, single burners | KSh 1,050 | Bedsitters, students, small families |
| 13 kg | Average family homes | KSh 2,200 | Most Kenyan households |
| 50 kg | Commercial kitchens, institutions | KSh 9,900 | Restaurants, hotels, large institutions |
If you cook daily for a family of four or more, the 13kg cylinder usually offers the best balance of price and convenience. The 6kg cylinder suits smaller households or secondary burners, while the 50kg cylinder is generally too heavy for residential use and is better suited to commercial kitchens.
