Pool Heater Broken? We Fix It.
Cold pool water ruins the whole experience. We diagnose the problem, fix it right, and get your heater running again.
Your Pool Heater Should Just Work
You flip the switch, the heater kicks on, and your pool warms up. That is how it should work. But when the heater stops firing, takes forever to heat, or throws error codes, swimming season is over until someone figures out what went wrong.
We work on gas heaters, heat pumps, and electric heaters from every major manufacturer. Pentair, Hayward, Raypak, Jandy. We have seen the common failures across all of them, and we carry the parts to handle most repairs in a single visit.
We actually diagnose the problem before quoting the fix. No guessing, no replacing parts hoping something sticks. We find what is broken, explain what it will cost, and fix it once.
Tell us what your heater is doing and we will get you a diagnosis.

Pool heaters fail for specific, diagnosable reasons. Here are the issues we fix most often:
Heater Will Not Ignite
The most common call we get. Usually caused by a faulty igniter, a clogged gas valve, or a tripped pressure switch. Spiders nesting in the burner tray is surprisingly common and blocks ignition completely.
Heater Turns On But Will Not Heat
The unit fires up but the water stays cold. This typically points to a failed heat exchanger, low gas pressure, or a bypass valve issue. We test each component to pinpoint exactly where the heat transfer is failing.
Error Codes and Lockouts
Modern pool heaters have built-in diagnostics. When your heater throws a code and shuts down, it is telling you something specific. We read the codes, trace the fault, and repair the actual cause instead of just resetting the unit.
Leaking or Corroded Heat Exchanger
Hard, mineral-heavy water accelerates corrosion inside heat exchangers. If you see water dripping from your heater cabinet, the exchanger may be cracked. We assess whether a repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation.
Repair or Replace? We Give You the Real Answer.
Some pool companies push full replacements because the markup is bigger. Others patch things together so they can come back next month for another service call. We do neither.
If your heater can be repaired cost-effectively, we repair it. If the unit is 12 years old with a cracked heat exchanger and a history of failures, we will tell you that putting more money into it does not make sense. We show you the numbers and let you decide.
Our customers appreciate that we are not trying to sell them something. We are trying to give them the most honest path to a working heater, whether that is a $200 repair or a new unit recommendation.

“Heater would not ignite no matter what I tried. They diagnosed a bad ignitor, replaced it the same day, and we had warm water by that evening.”
“Our heat exchanger was leaking and another company quoted us a full replacement. These guys repaired it for a fraction of the cost. Still running great.”
“Error codes on our Pentair MasterTemp had us stumped. They knew exactly what it was, fixed it on the spot, and explained what caused it. Real expertise.”
“Heater was firing but the water never got warm. They found the bypass valve was stuck open. Simple fix, no parts needed, and it heated up within an hour.”
“Our Raypak was shutting off after a few minutes every time. Turned out the pressure switch needed replacing. They had the part on the truck. Fixed in 30 minutes.”
“We thought our heater was dead. They cleaned the burner tray, replaced the thermistor, and it fired right up. Saved us from buying a brand new unit.”
“Pool heater started making a loud popping noise. They diagnosed low gas pressure from a kinked flex line, corrected it, and the heater runs silent now.”
