Marine AC and Refrigeration

Boat AC and refrigeration repairs and installations. We repair and install marine ac and refrigeration on sailboats, powerboats, and working vessels. We are based in Maryland, but offer services around the world. We can provide in person or remote support anywhere in the world for your marine air conditioner needs. We focus mainly on marine water cooled air conditioning.

NEW: BoatAC.net will travel to you for larger, more complex installations, repairs or replacements of marine air conditioning systems, chillers and boat ac units. BoatAC can design your system, ship you all the parts you'll need (including all the specialty hoses, clamps, wires, etc) and even travel to your vessel to do the work for you, if needed. We can also provide remote support to owners and boat mechanics who want to install Marine AC systems themselves.

We installed 12v boat air conditioner units on these lifeboats for the Navy.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Eric is a consummate professional, incredibly knowledgeable about his craft and the systems. His communications were prompt, detailed and educational. He arrived a day early and quickly had our new system operational and in fine form. He even took the time to explain some of his techniques and equipment not only to me, but to one of the boatyard employees who works on air conditioners. He did what he said he would do, on time and within his estimate. He has our unqualified endorsement. Thank you, Eric.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Eric is knowledgable, fast, and effective. He did exactly what he promised to do, and the unit he installed was as quiet and effective as he said that it was going to be. In the process of installing a new unit, he cleaned all our raw water lines without charging extra. :) Highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently bought a 2005 Hunter 38 without air conditioning/ heat pump installed. I contacted BoatAC thru e-mail and Eric called me the same day! We were in November and I was expecting a slow process considering the season was over and all the boats had been winterized in Vermont, so I had figured a spring install potential at best… He gave me a ton of explanations and we have talked about the various possibilities, AC Vs DC etc. To my surprise he offered to install early December and that he was fully equipped to do the work without marina power or water! He came all the way to Northern Vermont and him and Matt performed an amazing job on the boat, with top quality components. I highly recommend Eric and BoatAC, without compromise. I can’t wait for next season but in the meantime he has cut short the in between seasons wait period with sailing discussions at the marina, in December! Thank you greatly Eric, have a wonderful Christmas! Jean-Pierre

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We called on a Sunday on the hottest day of the year with our AC not working.  Eric answered and walked me through some diagnostics.  He came out to our boat the next day, showed me my set up, made sure everything was working as expected, and brainstormed on improvements.  I couldn't have asked for better service.  Definitely five stars!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My AC unit went out Tuesday afternoon last week. The boat is in intrical part of my son’s wedding starting Friday and through the weekend. I called Eric and within 10 minutes he called me back. He happen to be in Annapolis and said he would take a look to see what could be done. He decided we need a new unit and by some miracle showed up Thursday afternoon and installed it in three hours. This is absolutely unheard of in the marine industry. Incredible service!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have a 2006 Tartan 3400 sailboat I purchased 2 years ago. I sail on the Chesapeake which is notoriously brutally hot in the summers. The AC unit that came with the boat was struggling and finally quit on me at the end of last season. The resources for Marine AC repair/sales in the Upper Chesapeake are scarce. The top guy at my marina recommended I contact Eric Brown of BoatAC.net. Although I have sailed off and on all my life this was my first boat purchase. In the short time I’ve owned the boat I’ve adjusted my expectations from low to almost nonexistent when dealing with anyone in the marine industry. I wasn’t sure I would get a call back from Eric and if I did I figured it would be several weeks or months to resolve my AC issue. Short story: I reached out at 5 pm one evening to Eric via his website. At 7pm that evening Eric called me back, explained his business, discussed probable issues with my system and within a few days was out to the boat after which time I got another call discussing the problem and proposed solution which in my case was to replace the 16 year old unit which failed. Surprisingly due to a cancellation a new unit was installed the following day. A few days later I was out at the boat. The cabin was clean. Instillation seemed seamless and the AC works great all in time for the season. Great response time. Great explanation. Great installation.  Highly recommend

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We needed help replacing our boats air conditioning system. I called Boat AC.net and Eric called me right back. I cannot speak highly enough of the level of expertise, professionalism and quality of work. I expected to have to wait for the work to be done, but we had a new system within several weeks. Eric gave us great advice and made significant improvements to how our system works. I am recommending Boat AC.net to all my friends.

HPF Errors

By far our most common request is to help customers with High Pressure Fault (HPF or HP on most displays). If you experience one of these, first check and address your water flow, air flow (air filters and evaporator coils). If you find that your refrigerant is low (ie freon), it's usually better to replace the unit than try to find and fix leaks. With self-contained units, leaks are usually symptoms of broader corrosion (kind of like plugging one hole in a dam).
