Marine HVAC & Air Conditioning Systems

Sailor Fox Marine is EPA Section 608 Certified, allowing us to legally handle, recover, and service refrigerants used in marine HVAC and air-conditioning systems.

Sailor Fox Marine provides professional marine HVAC (air-conditioning & climate control) service for powerboats and yachts.
Marine A/C systems are complex and require proper diagnostics, water-flow analysis, and electrical testing — not guesswork.

We service self-contained and chilled-water systems from leading manufacturers, ensuring reliable cooling and heating performance in all conditions.


 HVAC Diagnostics & Troubleshooting

We diagnose common and complex marine A/C issues, including:

  • A/C not cooling or heating

  • Units short-cycling or shutting down

  • High-pressure / low-pressure faults

  • Water-flow & seawater pump problems

  • Blocked condensers or strainers

  • Electrical & control faults

  • System noise, vibration, or leaks

Every diagnosis is performed with a step-by-step, technical approach to identify the root cause.


HVAC Service & Maintenance

Preventive maintenance is critical for marine HVAC reliability and longevity.

Service & maintenance includes:

  • Seawater circuit inspection & cleaning

  • Pump, strainer & hose inspection

  • Condenser flushing & descaling

  • Air filter cleaning or replacement

  • Electrical connection inspection

  • Control panel & thermostat testing

Regular service improves efficiency and prevents costly mid-season failures.


HVAC Commissioning & System Verification

After installation or repairs, we perform:

  • System commissioning

  • Operating pressure & temperature checks

  • Electrical load verification

  • Water-flow confirmation

  • Functional testing under load

This ensures the system operates within manufacturer specifications.


 HVAC Repairs & Component Replacement

We replace and repair HVAC components such as:

  • Seawater pumps

  • Control boards & sensors

  • Thermostats & displays

  • Blowers & fan motors

  • Valves, hoses & fittings

Only marine-grade parts are used for durability and safety.


 HVAC Winterization & De-Winterization

We properly protect HVAC systems from freeze damage.

Winterization includes:

  • Complete seawater circuit flushing

  • Proper antifreeze application

  • Pump and line protection

  • System inspection before lay-up

De-winterization includes:

  • System flushing

  • Leak checks

  • Operational testing before the season


 Brands & Systems We Service

We service most major marine HVAC brands, including:

  • Dometic / Cruisair

  • Webasto / BlueCool

  • Marine Air

  • Condaria

  • Self-contained & chilled-water systems


Schedule HVAC Service

If your marine A/C system is not performing correctly, do not wait — early diagnosis prevents compressor damage and expensive failures.
