Just a note on AC brands. I started out with a Mermaid 16K reverse cycle unit I installed in1999. Sent it back to Mermaid for repair twice in 8 years. Switched to a Cruisair 16K reverse cycle 6 or 7 years ago and sold the Mermaid on eBay. The Cruisair has run without a burp since install.
My buddy here is the "go to" guy for refrigeration and AC installs and repairs. He is the Cruisair factory repair tech for this area. He works on all brands, Mermaid, MarineAir, etc. He swears by Cruisair. Dennis C.
