With Reverse Cycle Heating 

With reverse cycle heating in a marine A/C unit, a reversing valve reverses the flow of freon. Normally the evaporator / fan blows cold into the cabin while the condenser expels the heat into the water. When reversed, the evaporator / fan blows heat into the cabin and the condenser expels the cold into the water. Unit BTU ratings are based on it’s cool mode. The reverse cycle heat mode produces 10-15% more BTU’s than the unit does in cooling mode.

MR16/R32

Blows ice cold in the summer, GREAT air flow. Once the Chesapeake waters warmed up and the heat side kicked in it was just as efficient. Only caveat was the fan died last fall. Tech support (Braydon) offered to return the unit to replace the fan unit unit but I just had him send the new fan and it swapped out locally for $75 rather than the hassles of shipping and what not involved. Excellent customer service during installation and diagnosing the fan fault. Replacing a 2008 R22 unit which seems to have had a bad panel breaker despite 2 diagnosis saying compressor short. The new R32 freon is hyper efficient in the cooling mode and cycles much quicker than the old R22 and even the Dometic R420 units a couple of my neighbors purchased last spring. Also, a neighbor bought the same unit without the "reverse cycle" switch. Freedom/Mermaid made the conversion for shipping plus a nominal charge. The reputation for customer service is stellar thus far....
Mermaid M16 Boat AC

The AC unit is a replacement to my previous AC and it is built better. I would rated the AC unit a 5 but I gave it a 4 because of the thermostat that was sent with it. Way too many options in programming with lockouts etc. I want a simple thermostat that I can set for ac or heat and that is it. I thought I had a bad unit the week after installing it and found it was all in programming and having to wait 5 mins for anything to happen when changing it. Very, very frustrating.
