Why is my pool heater not turning on?

There are several common reasons a pool heater won't ignite, including a dirty filter restricting water flow, a faulty pressure switch, a bad thermostat, or an issue with the gas valve. We can diagnose the exact cause and provide a written quote for the repair.

Do you repair both gas heaters and heat pumps?

Yes, our technicians are trained to troubleshoot and repair both natural gas pool heaters and electric heat pumps. We carry diagnostic tools to test electrical components, gas valves, and refrigerant levels.

How long does a pool heater repair typically take?

Many common repairs, such as replacing a sensor, pressure switch, or ignition control module, can be completed in a single visit. If a major component like a heat exchanger needs to be ordered, we will secure the unit and return promptly to install it.

Is it worth repairing an older pool heater?

If the heater is relatively new and the repair is minor, fixing it is the best option. However, if the unit is over 10 years old, heavily rusted, or the heat exchanger has failed, we often recommend a replacement. We will give you an honest assessment.

What brands of pool heaters do you repair?

We service all major brands, including Raypak, Pentair, Hayward, and Jandy. We use high-quality replacement parts to ensure your heater runs safely and efficiently.

Can you fix my heater if it's making a loud banging noise?

A banging noise, often called 'kettling', usually indicates a severe flow restriction or scale buildup inside the heat exchanger causing the water to boil. Turn the heater off immediately and call us for an inspection to prevent further damage.

Pool Heater Replacement

When Repair is the Right Call

If your heater is less than 7-10 years old and the issue is a failed sensor, a bad control board, or a faulty gas valve, repairing it is usually the most cost-effective choice. We carry many common parts and can often fix the issue during our initial visit.

When to Consider Replacement

If the heat exchanger has cracked or rusted through, or if the unit requires constant expensive repairs, a full pool heater replacement is often the better investment.
