If you run a charter boat business, then you need to make sure that your boats have all the facilities your customers need to enjoy their trips. For example, your customers will want access to reliable refrigerators, freezers, and chillers to store their food and drink. You should also provide coolers for them to store any fish they catch.
At some point, you are likely to have problems with your refrigeration equipment. It might break down. So, you need to find a reliable marine refrigeration equipment repair service that can help you out when things go wrong.
What should you look for?
Familiarity With Your Equipment
A good marine refrigeration repair specialist will have experience working on all your pieces of equipment. They'll also have worked on the brand you use before. Ideally, they'll know all about the models you have on your boat.
Check that they carry spare parts that fit your equipment at all times. You don't want to have to delay a repair because the company has to order a part and wait for it to arrive. Ideally, the company will bring standard parts to every repair job so that they can fix problems quickly.
It's also worth asking if they use OEM or aftermarket parts. If you only want to use manufacturer parts on your equipment, then aftermarket parts won't suit you. However, if you want to keep your repair costs low, then aftermarket parts are a good option.
Flexible Service Times
If some of your refrigerated equipment breaks down, then you might need a quick fix. If your boat isn't going to go out for a few days, then you can afford to wait for a repair service to come out. However, if it is booked on a charter soon, then you need to get everything sorted before your customers arrive.
A good marine refrigeration equipment repair company will be available 24/7. They won't keep regular working hours. You need a company that can respond to your short-notice or emergency repair needs in the evenings and over weekends.
If you can make repairs when your boat isn't being used, then you won't lose charter income. You'll also keep your customers happy. Happy customers will book with you again; unhappy ones might switch to using a competitive charter company instead.
