RV Converter & Inverter Repair in Hobe Sound, FL
Converter diagnosis, inverter installation, combo unit upgrades, charging profile adjustment, and power system optimization.
Your converter and inverter are the brains of your RV's power system. The converter takes 120V shore power and steps it down to 12V to charge your batteries and run DC systems. The inverter does the reverse, turning 12V battery power into 120V AC for outlets and appliances when you're off-grid. When either fails, major systems go down.

What We Do
We diagnose failed converters by testing output voltage, checking cooling fans, and inspecting circuit boards. We replace converters with properly rated units from WFCO, Progressive Dynamics, and Parallax. For inverter work, we install pure sine wave inverters from Victron, Xantrex, and Aims, properly wired to your breaker panel with correct gauge wire and fusing. We also upgrade older converter/chargers to modern units with multi-stage charging profiles that extend battery life.
Signs You Need RV Converter & Inverter Repair
Your 12V lights dim when on shore power. The converter is buzzing, clicking, or running hot. Batteries aren't charging even though you're plugged in. The cooling fan on the converter has stopped working. You want to use household appliances off-grid but don't have an inverter.

RV Converter & Inverter Repair FAQ
What's the difference between a converter and inverter?
A converter converts 120V AC to 12V DC (shore power to battery power). An inverter converts 12V DC to 120V AC (battery power to outlet power). Many modern units combine both functions.
How much does converter replacement cost?
A standard converter replacement runs $350 to $800 depending on amperage rating. 35-amp units are less expensive; 75-amp units cost more. Installation includes wiring and testing.
How much does inverter installation cost?
A 1,000-watt inverter installed is $500 to $800. A 2,000-watt unit is $700 to $1,200. A 3,000-watt inverter with transfer switch integration is $1,000 to $1,500.
Do I need a pure sine wave inverter?
Yes, for most applications. Modified sine wave inverters can damage sensitive electronics and make motors run hot. Pure sine wave inverters cost a bit more but produce clean power identical to shore power.
Why is my converter so hot?
The cooling fan may have failed, or the converter is working harder than rated. In Florida's heat, converters already run warm. A dead cooling fan can cause the converter to overheat and fail prematurely. We replace fans for $50 to $100.
Can you upgrade my converter to a smart charger?
Yes. Modern multi-stage chargers (like Progressive Dynamics Charge Wizard) adjust charging voltage based on battery state. This extends battery life significantly compared to old single-stage converters.
