Marine AC Installation & System Upgrades
Quiet Power.
Instant Cool.
Still running an old, rattling AC unit from the 90s? We specialize in retrofitting modern, high-efficiency Dometic Turbo systems that are 50% quieter, cool 3x faster, and fit directly into your existing space.
System Retrofits
Old R22 units are obsolete and expensive to fix. We remove your old, rusted unit and install a modern, composite-base Dometic or Webasto unit that won't rust and runs silently.
New Installations
Does your boat lack AC entirely? We perform full new installs. We cut the through-hulls, run the raw water plumbing, install the seawater pump, run the ducting, and build custom teak grilles for the vents.
Pump & Plumbing
The AC unit is only half the battle. We upgrade your cooling loop with high-flow magnetic drive pumps (March/KoolAir) and oversized strainers to prevent "High Pressure" shutdowns.
The Installation Process.
Clean, professional, and leak-free.
Sizing & Load Calc
We measure your cabin volume and glass exposure (sun load) to calculate the exact BTU requirement. Undersized units won't cool; oversized units get clammy.
Removal
We carefully extract the old unit, capping off electrical and plumbing lines to ensure no saltwater spills into your bilge or carpet.
Fitment
Modern units are smaller but shaped differently. We modify the mounting shelf, install vibration isolation mounts, and adapt the ducting to fit the new blower outlet.
Commissioning
We bleed the air from the water lines, program the digital thermostat (Passport I/O or Elite), and verify the temperature delta (split) is at least 15-20°F.

Common Questions
Can I run AC away from the dock?
Only if you have a generator (Genset) or a large lithium battery bank with an inverter. AC units require 110V power and draw significant amperage.
Why retrofit instead of repair?
If your unit is 10+ years old and uses R22 gas, repairs are expensive and temporary. A new unit uses eco-friendly R410A, is quieter, uses less power, and comes with a 2-year warranty.
