Brands & Materials We Work With
Pool heaters are complex machines that combine water, electricity, and often combustible gas. Our technicians are highly trained to service the industry's top heater brands, including Pentair MasterTemp, Raypak, Hayward Universal H-Series, and Jandy JXi models. We carry the specific diagnostic tools required to safely test and repair these systems.
When replacing internal components, we use OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts. Whether it's a Fenwal ignition control module, a copper finned heat exchanger, or a simple thermistor, using the exact manufacturer-specified parts ensures your heater operates safely and efficiently.
We also specialize in the materials that connect your heater to the rest of the pool system. We ensure that CPVC heat-resistant plumbing is used directly out of the heater manifold, preventing the melted pipes that often result from improper PVC installations by unqualified technicians.
For salt water pools, we strongly advocate for cupro-nickel heat exchangers when replacements are necessary. This upgraded material is vastly more resistant to the corrosive effects of salt systems and unbalanced water chemistry compared to standard copper.
How a Pool Heater Repair Visit Works
Safety First Inspection
We begin by ensuring the area is safe, checking for gas leaks, and verifying proper electrical grounding. We then assess the overall condition of the heater cabinet and internal components.
Diagnostic Testing
Using multimeters and manometers, we test the electrical circuits, gas pressure, and water flow. We read any error codes from the control board to pinpoint the exact component failure.
Clear, Written Quote
Once we identify the issue, we provide a clear written estimate for the repair. We explain what failed and why, ensuring you understand the necessary work before we proceed.
Repair & Verification
After you approve the quote, we replace the faulty parts. We then fire up the heater, test the temperature output, and verify that all safety switches are functioning correctly before leaving.
Repair vs. Replace
Deciding whether to repair or replace a pool heater depends heavily on its age and the specific component that failed. If your heater is under 5-7 years old and the issue is a sensor, igniter, or control board, a repair is almost always the most cost-effective choice. We carry the parts to get these systems running quickly.
However, if your heater is older and the internal copper heat exchanger has corroded and started leaking water, a full replacement is usually necessary. Heat exchangers are the most expensive part of the unit, and a leak often damages the electronics below it.
