Night and day difference — ice cold in minutes
Roland descaled our marine A/C system that hadn't been serviced in over 2 years. The difference was night and day — our Dometic unit went from barely cooling to ice cold in minutes. He showed me the scale buildup he removed and it was incredible how much was in there. Highly recommend the Accumar Descaling Solution for regular maintenance.

Found issues others missed — gave us confidence for offshore passage
We were preparing for a Bahamas crossing and needed a thorough rigging inspection. Roland went through every fitting, swage, and turnbuckle on our IP380. He found two chainplates that needed attention and a forestay with early signs of fatigue. His attention to detail gave us complete confidence for our passage. Fair pricing and honest assessment.

Same-day emergency repair — fixed within an hour
Our Vitrifrigo refrigerator stopped cooling right before a weekend trip. Roland came out the same day, diagnosed a failing compressor relay, and had it fixed within an hour. He also descaled the seawater condenser while he was at it. The fridge has been running perfectly ever since. Roland is our go-to for anything marine.

Complete A/C replacement — cooler than ever
Had Roland install a new Webasto FCF Platinum unit to replace our aging Cruisair. He handled the entire job — removing the old unit, installing the new one, running new hoses, and commissioning the system. The boat is now cooler than it's ever been. He also left us with a bottle of Accumar Descaling Solution for future maintenance.

Furling system works like new after complete overhaul
Our Profurl furling system was getting increasingly difficult to roll and unroll. Roland diagnosed worn bearings and a corroded foil joint. He sourced the parts, rebuilt the entire system, and it now works like new. His rigging knowledge is exceptional — he clearly knows sailboats inside and out.

DIY descaling — impressive results on both A/C units
Bought a gallon of the Accumar Descaling Solution after Roland recommended it during a service call. Followed the instructions on the website and descaled both our A/C units myself. The process was straightforward and the results were impressive — both units are cooling noticeably better. Great product at a fair price.

Watermaker output restored from 8 to 13 GPH
Roland serviced our Spectra watermaker that had been underperforming. He descaled the system, replaced the pre-filters, and checked the membrane. Output went from 8 GPH back to the rated 13 GPH. He even walked me through the maintenance schedule so I can keep it running well. Worth every penny of the service call.

Both A/C systems restored — comfortable even in August heat
With a cat, we have two separate A/C systems and both were struggling in the Florida summer heat. Roland descaled both systems in one visit and the improvement was dramatic. He also checked our refrigerant levels and found one unit was slightly low. Topped it off and now both sides of the boat are comfortable even in August.
The Descaling Difference
See the dramatic impact of regular descaling on marine A/C heat exchangers. Scale buildup is the #1 cause of reduced cooling performance.
Heavy Scale Buildup
Reduced heat transfer, poor cooling
- Thick calcium/lime deposits on heat exchanger
- Restricted water flow through condenser
- A/C running constantly but barely cooling
- Higher energy consumption and compressor strain
- Risk of premature system failure
Clean Heat Exchanger
Maximum heat transfer, peak cooling
- Clean, scale-free heat exchanger surfaces
- Full water flow restored through condenser
- A/C cools cabin quickly and efficiently
- Lower energy consumption and reduced strain
- Extended system lifespan and reliability
Before & After Photo Gallery
See the real results of our work across Southwest Florida. From corroded AC systems restored to peak performance, to professional rigging inspections and tower setups.
Marine AC Heat Exchanger — Before Descaling
Heavily corroded and scale-encrusted marine AC heat exchanger. Years of Florida saltwater buildup blocking water flow and reducing cooling capacity by over 60%.
Marine AC Heat Exchanger — After Descaling
Same heat exchanger after professional descaling with Accumar Descaling Solution. Clean copper tubing with full water flow restored. Peak cooling performance achieved.
