Frequently Asked Questions

We start with a diagnostic. What feels like a failing system is often one bad part — a pump, coil, or thermostat — fixable for a fraction of replacement cost. We give you an honest read, not a sales pitch.

Full diagnostics, coil and component cleaning, strainer and pump inspection, electrical testing, refrigerant check, airflow assessment, and a written report — with clear cost and risk on anything that needs attention.

At least once a season for recreational use; twice a year for charter or liveaboard vessels run continuously. Staying ahead of it costs less than an emergency repair in peak season.

Yes, call us and we'll get a technician out as fast as we can. A dead A/C in July doesn't wait until Tuesday.

Marine systems use seawater instead of air for heat exchange — far more efficient on the water — but that means seawater pumps, corrosion-resistant components, and marine-rated wiring. Standard residential HVAC won't survive salt air, vibration, and constant moisture.

Self-contained units (all components in one package, ideal for smaller vessels or single cabins) and chilled water systems (a central chiller serving multiple zones, better for larger yachts). We'll help determine the right fit for your vessel.

10–15 years with proper maintenance. Unserviced systems, or those running with clogged strainers and pumps, fail far sooner — maintenance is the single biggest factor in lifespan.

One to two days for a single-zone system; several days for larger multi-zone chilled water systems, depending on complexity and access. You'll get a firm timeline before we start.

No — we just need access to the vessel. We'll walk you through the finished system and answer questions before we leave.

Yes — retrofits are one of our most common jobs. It takes careful planning around seawater intake, electrical capacity, and layout, but it's very doable.

All of South Florida, with a focus on Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Boca Raton, Palm Beach, and the Keys. Not sure if we cover your marina? Just call.

Service is quoted by vessel type, complexity, and scope. Installations and larger repairs get a written estimate before work starts — no surprises. Simple service calls can often get a ballpark over the phone.

Yes — request one through our Services or Contact page, or call directly. We'll send an estimate before any work begins.
