People quite often ask what are the differences between Webasto’s FCF Classic and FCF Platinum series marine A/C units.

Both Webasto Air Conditioners series are intelligently designed, quiet, energy-efficient, and offer high BTU/h ratings across a variety of ambient scenarios. Both are reliable and have the same two year warranty from Webasto.

Both carry the same compressor, condenser, and blower, and both come standard with a digital control. However, here are some key differences between both series:

Webasto FCF Classic Series

• The Webasto FCF Classic has a steady fan speed
• Only comes in 12,000 and 16,000 BTU models
• Good replacement option for the Dometic ECD Units
• More square base – will not work if space is an issue and trying to replace a Dometic DTU / DTG*

• When the set temperature is reached, fan goes to very low speed to reduce noise even further
• Comes in 6,000, 10,000, 12,000, 16,000, 20,000 and 25,000 BTU models
• Good replacement option for the Dometic DTU / DTG Units – Similar footprint
