Tri-County Marine AC ‘s beginning go back to the Early 90’s when it’s Founder Joe Cusmano was simply a dissatisfied boat owner who hated the Air Conditioning installation on his Wellcraft Martinique.  The boat was a dream come true… but vessel’s AC system was noisy, poorly designed, moldy and most importantly unreliable.    His leisure time objective became making that darn Marine Air unit run correctly so he, his wife and their dogs Pooh and Fred could cool off after a stressful day of cruising!

This situation prompted Joe, a Sales and Installation Manager for a Commercial Refrigeration and Air Conditioning contractor, to seek out Marine Air Systems.  He was surprised to find Marine Air was only a mile up the road so he paid them a visit to complain about his awful equipment.  Needless to say, he did not get the help that day, but he did get to have a look at the facility and factory which today is in the same location he visited for help over 25 years ago.

As fate would have it, a year later the factory was looking for Sales and Service employees where he quickly rose through the ranks of the Service department to become its first travelling International Sales Manager, supporting and assisting the design of Chillers for Heinen and Hopman, OEM installations for Sunseeker, Oyster, Ferretti and many other well-known European and South American shipyards.
