EPA CertifiedABYC Certified25+ Years Experience

24/7 Same-Day Response

We understand emergencies don't wait. We offer rapid, same-day dispatch to get your system diagnosed and repaired, minimizing downtime and discomfort.

Liveaboard Priority

For those living aboard, a failed A/C is more than an inconvenience—it's a crisis. We prioritize liveaboard calls to restore your comfort and safety quickly.

Certified Technicians

Our EPA and ABYC certified technicians have the expertise to handle any emergency, from a simple bilge rat chewing a wire to complex compressor failures.

Common Marine A/C Emergencies We Handle

Total System Failure

The worst-case scenario, especially in the Florida heat. We'll diagnose the root cause, whether it's a failed compressor, a fried control board, or a catastrophic electrical issue. We won't just fix the symptom; we'll find out why it failed and advise on preventing a recurrence.

Refrigerant Leaks

A hissing sound or a system that blows warm air often points to a refrigerant leak. This is not only bad for your comfort but also for the environment. Our EPA-certified technicians will locate the leak, repair it properly, and recharge your system to factory specifications, ensuring you're not just dumping more gas into the sea.

Electrical Problems & Tripping Breakers

A constantly tripping breaker is a serious warning sign of a deeper electrical problem. It could be a shorted wire, a failing motor, or an issue with your shore power connection. Ignoring it is a fire hazard. We trace the electrical fault from the source to the unit to ensure your vessel's safety.

Frequently Asked Questions

What constitutes a marine A/C emergency?
A true emergency is any sudden failure that threatens your safety, comfort, or ability to operate your vessel, especially for liveaboards. This includes total system shutdown in extreme heat, major water leaks causing bilge alarms, or electrical issues that could lead to a fire. If you're on the hard for a turnaround day and the system quits, that's an emergency for your timeline.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency call?
We pride ourselves on same-day response for emergency calls in the Fort Myers and Cape Coral area. We understand that when your A/C goes down, it's not just an inconvenience—it can be a major disruption. We keep a technician on standby for these situations to get you back up and running as fast as possible.
Do you service all brands of marine air conditioners?
Yes, our technicians are old salts with experience across all major brands, including Dometic, Cruisair, Webasto, and MarinAire. We carry a wide range of common parts on our trucks to maximize the chances of a first-visit fix, no matter who made your unit.
What is the cost of an emergency service call?
Emergency service calls have a higher initial diagnostic fee due to the immediate dispatch requirement. However, we are transparent with all costs. Before any work begins, our technician will diagnose the problem and provide you with a clear, written estimate for the repair. There's no dock talk or hidden fees.
Can you fix a refrigerant leak on the spot?
In many cases, yes. We use advanced leak detection tools to pinpoint the source of the leak. If it's in an accessible location (like a fitting or a valve), we can often repair it and recharge the system during the same visit. Complex leaks inside the evaporator coil may require a second visit if the part isn't readily available.
