Marine Air Conditioner Repair

A malfunctioning marine air conditioner can make an overnight trip miserable — and in Jacksonville's humid summers, a broken unit is a real problem. We troubleshoot and repair self-contained and split marine AC systems, tackling refrigerant issues, thermostat failures, and blower motor problems on the spot.

Serving Jacksonville & Surrounding Areas

Run & Gun provides mobile marine AC repair and refrigeration service across Jacksonville and the surrounding region. We regularly travel to boat lift repair customers in Orange Park, Fleming Island, and Green Cove Springs, as well as boaters in Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, and Ponte Vedra Beach along the coast. Locally within Jacksonville, we serve Ortega, Mandarin, Beauclerc, Julington Creek, Arlington, San Marco, and other waterfront districts. Whether you're docked at a Fernandina Beach marina or moored near Nocatee, our team brings the tools to you — no long waits, no trailering.

Common Signs You Need Service

Catching a cooling or sanitation problem early can save you from a costly breakdown on the water — especially during Jacksonville's peak boating season when technician demand is high.

Warm Air, No Cooling:

Your marine air conditioner runs but blows warm or ambient-temperature air, pointing to a refrigerant leak, failed compressor, or blocked raw-water flow.

Unusual Odors Below Deck:

Musty or sewage-like smells often signal a failing marine head seal, cracked sanitation hose, or a holding tank vent issue that needs prompt attention.

Refrigerator Not Holding Temp:

Food spoiling faster than normal or a freezer that won't stay frozen indicates compressor wear or refrigerant loss — classic signs you need boat refrigerator repair.

Water Around the AC Unit:

Pooling water near your marine air conditioner suggests a blocked condensate drain or a raw-water fitting leak that can damage cabinetry and electrical components quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a marine AC repair near me that comes to the dock?

Yes — Run & Gun is a fully mobile service covering Jacksonville and surrounding areas including Orange Park, Atlantic Beach, Ponte Vedra Beach, and St. Augustine. We bring all diagnostic equipment and common parts to your slip or ramp, so you rarely need to move the boat.

How much does boat air conditioner repair typically cost?

Cost depends on the failure — a simple impeller swap or sea strainer cleaning is far less than a compressor replacement. We provide a free quote before any work begins so you know exactly what to expect with no surprises.

Can you handle marine refrigeration repairs on a liveaboard?

Absolutely. Liveaboard refrigeration systems are among the most common calls we receive. Our technicians carry pressure-testing equipment and stock common compressor parts, allowing us to complete most marine refrigeration repairs in a single dockside visit.

Do you repair marine heads and sanitation systems too?

Yes. Marine head repair is part of our onboard comfort and plumbing services. We replace joker valves, macerator pumps, and sanitation hoses, and we inspect holding tanks to keep your system odor-free and compliant with Florida no-discharge regulations.

How do I know if my marine air conditioner needs refrigerant or just a cleaning?

If the unit runs but doesn't cool and raw-water flow is normal, low refrigerant is likely. If the unit trips breakers or makes unusual noises, the issue may be electrical or mechanical. A proper diagnostic — which we perform at your dock — is the only reliable way to tell.
