Hello,
We are new owners of a 2015 41DS and first time boat owners learning everything from the basics up. Already trouble shooting, as we just had routine maintenance completed and now AC and heat are not working. Searching here for help.

I have a different boat (SO35) and different AC/heat unit (after market Westerbeke), so I can't answer your questions directly. But I suspect that problems with the units have common symptoms.
Please describe the problem in more detail. Is power getting to the unit? Does the water pump turn on? Does the compressor turn on? Does the fan turn on? Is it blowing air, but simply not providing cool or hot air? Are there any error codes on the control panel?
On my unit, the water pump is not self-priming. It needs to be located below the water level, with water at the pump to start working. Typically, I have to open the thru-hull and wait a couple of hours when the boat is first launched to get enough water in the system for it to work. After that, I only open the thru-hull when it is likely that we will be using it, and we always close it before sailing, since the water will escape due to the Bernoulli effect while the boat is moving.
Please provide manufacturer and model number if possible so others with the same unit can give you more specific information.
