How quickly can you respond to a boat fridge breakdown?
We understand that refrigeration failures can spoil food and ruin your time on the water. We offer prompt callout services across Auckland marinas and aim to respond as quickly as possible to minimise downtime. Contact us immediately for urgent marine refrigeration repairs, and we'll do our best to attend your vessel the same day or next available slot.
What's the typical lifespan of a marine refrigeration system, and when should I consider replacement?
A well-maintained marine refrigeration system typically lasts 10-15 years, though harsh marine environments can shorten this. Consider replacement if your system is over 12 years old, requires frequent repairs, struggles to maintain temperature, or uses outdated refrigerants. Modern systems are more energy-efficient and reliable—we can assess your current setup and recommend whether repair or replacement is more cost-effective.
Why is my boat fridge not cooling properly, and how can you fix it?
Common causes include low refrigerant (due to leaks), faulty compressors, thermostat failures, blocked condensers, or electrical issues. We start with a thorough diagnostic to identify the exact problem, then carry out repairs on-site when possible. Most issues can be resolved the same day, including re-gassing, component replacement, and electrical fault fixes.
Do you install new marine refrigeration systems for boats and yachts?
Yes, we design and install complete marine refrigeration systems tailored to your vessel. Whether you need an air-cooled, water-cooled, or keel-cooled system, we'll recommend the best solution based on your boat size, usage patterns, and budget. We handle everything from initial consultation and system design to professional installation and commissioning.
Can you service marine ice makers and freezer systems?
Yes, we service and repair marine ice makers and freezer systems on boats and yachts. Common issues include poor ice production, mechanical failures, and freezer temperature problems. We diagnose faults quickly and carry out effective repairs to keep your ice maker and freezer running efficiently throughout your time on the water.
