A properly functioning HVAC system is essential for comfort onboard, whether you're cruising tropical waters or preparing for cooler seasons. Our technicians service, repair, and install marine climate control systems on catamarans of all sizes, ensuring optimal performance in every climate.
Air Conditioning Service & Repair
Marine air conditioning systems face unique challenges: salt air corrosion, seawater cooling loops, and continuous vibration. Our service approach addresses the complete system, not just individual symptoms.
- Compressor diagnostics, repair, and replacement
- Refrigerant leak detection and recharging
- Seawater pump and strainer cleaning and servicing
- Evaporator and condenser coil cleaning and maintenance
- Thermostat calibration and control unit repair
- Noise and vibration reduction for compressor units
HVAC Filter Maintenance
Clean filters are essential for air quality, system efficiency, and preventing mold growth in the marine environment. We recommend regular filter maintenance as part of any yacht care program.
- Inspection and cleaning of all return air filters
- Replacement of cabin and salon air filters
- Anti-microbial treatment for filter housings
- Custom filter sizing for non-standard installations
Ductwork Inspection & Repair
Deteriorated ductwork leads to uneven cooling, condensation problems, and energy waste. Our team inspects the complete air distribution system and addresses any deficiencies.
- Complete ductwork inspection for leaks, blockages, and damage
- Flexible duct replacement with marine-grade materials
- Insulation repair and vapor barrier restoration
- Air vent and diffuser cleaning, repair, or replacement
- Condensation drain line clearing and re-routing
- Airflow balancing across all zones for even temperature distribution
