Pool Heater Repair

Electric Pool Heater Repair

How They Work: Electric heat pumps extract heat from the air and transfer it to the pool water. They are energy-efficient and work well in moderate climates.

Advantages: Cost-effective operation, environmentally friendly, and suitable for continuous use.

Common Issues: Evaporator coil icing, low refrigerant levels, or compressor malfunctions may impact efficiency.

Heater Error Codes: Often times the heat will set off an error code when attempting to heat or turn on. 

Gas Heater Repair

How They Work: Gas heaters use natural gas or propane to generate heat. The combustion process warms the water, which is then circulated back into the pool.

Advantages: Quick heating capability, ideal for colder climates, and effective for spas or smaller pools.

Common Issues: Pilot light failure, gas supply problems, or issues with the thermocouple can affect performance.
