    Why Marine Air Conditioning is Different

    Marine air conditioning isn't like your home system. It's dealing with salt air, constant vibration, moisture, and tight spaces. As a lifelong boater, Jon knows what it's like when your AC packs up in the middle of summer - it's not just uncomfortable, it's miserable. That's why reliability matters.

    Whether you've got a launch, yacht, or commercial vessel, we'll design and install a system that fits your boat perfectly. We take the time to understand how you use your vessel, work around your existing layout, and make sure everything looks tidy when we're done.

    Boat Aircon Repair & Fault Diagnosis

    Warm air when you need cool? Breakers tripping? Unit won't start? We've fixed thousands of marine AC systems over the years. We work with all the major brands - Dometic, CruiseAir, Webasto, Vitrifrigo, and Riviera - and we'll come to your berth or mooring to sort it out. No need to haul out unless absolutely necessary.

    Common Boat Air Conditioning Problems We Fix:

    • Compressor and pump failures
    • Blocked seawater lines and poor water flow
    • Electrical and control panel issues
    • Refrigerant leaks or low pressure
    • Excessive noise or vibration
    • Units icing over or not cooling evenly

    Yacht Air Conditioning Servicing & Maintenance

    Living on the water is tough on equipment. Salt gets into everything, moisture is constant, and vibration never stops. Regular servicing is honestly the cheapest insurance you can buy. A good maintenance schedule keeps your system running when you need it most and saves you from expensive emergency repairs. Here's what it does:

    • Keep cooling performance consistent
    • Extend the life of compressors and pumps
    • Improve energy efficiency and lower power draw
    • Prevent corrosion in electrical components
    • Ensure drains and seawater circuits remain clear

    We service boats right across Auckland - Orakei, Half Moon Bay, Westhaven, Hobsonville, Gulf Harbour, and we'll even head out to Waiheke. Whether you're a private owner, run charters, or manage commercial vessels, we'll build a maintenance plan that fits your schedule.

    Marine Air Conditioning Installation for Boats & Yachts

    No two boats are the same, so we custom-design every installation around your layout and power setup. We use proper marine-grade gear - corrosion-resistant fittings, correctly sized seawater pumps, and quality components that'll last. And we treat your boat like it's our own - clean work, tidy finish, and we won't leave a mess behind.

    Marine AC System Types We Install:

    • Self-contained units for smaller yachts and launches
    • Split-gas systems where space is limited
    • Chilled-water systems for multi-cabin luxury vessels
    • Reverse-cycle systems providing both heating and cooling

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How often should I service my boat's air conditioning?

    We recommend annual servicing for marine air conditioning systems. If you use your vessel frequently or in harsh conditions, consider servicing every 6 months. Regular maintenance prevents breakdowns and extends system life.

    What brands of marine air conditioning do you service?

    We service all major marine AC brands including Dometic, CruiseAir, Webasto, Vitrifrigo, and systems fitted in Riviera and Maritimo yachts. Our 30+ years experience covers both modern and older systems.

    Can you repair marine air conditioning at my berth?

    Yes, we provide mobile marine air conditioning repairs across Auckland marinas. In most cases, we can diagnose and repair your system without needing to haul out, saving you time and money.

    How long does a marine air conditioning installation take?

    Installation time depends on your vessel size and system complexity. A simple self-contained unit might take 1-2 days, while a full chilled-water system for a larger yacht could take several days. We'll provide a detailed timeline during consultation.

    What makes marine air conditioning different from residential systems?

    Marine AC systems must withstand salt air, constant vibration, moisture, and limited space. They use seawater for cooling, require marine-grade corrosion-resistant components, and need specialized installation techniques to handle the harsh marine environment.

    Do you service commercial vessels and charter boats?

    Absolutely. We service private yachts, commercial vessels, and charter boats across Auckland. We can work with your schedule and create maintenance plans for commercial operations requiring regular servicing.
