Pool & Spa Heater Repair

Pool and spa heaters can stop working for many different reasons. Rather than simply replacing parts, we troubleshoot the system to determine what is actually causing the problem.

Common heater problems we diagnose include:

  • Heater won’t turn on or ignite
  • Heater fires but shuts down
  • Pool or spa won’t reach the desired temperature
  • Ignition or flame-sensing problems
  • Faulty thermostats or temperature sensors
  • Pressure-switch and water-flow problems
  • Control and automation issues
  • Water leaks
  • Corrosion and age-related failures
  • Intermittent heater operation

A heater problem isn’t always caused by the heater itself. Pumps, filters, valves, plumbing, automation systems and electrical controls can all affect heater operation.

Because Mike the Poolman repairs complete swimming pool equipment systems, we can evaluate how the equipment is working together and determine the source of the problem.

Pool Heater Replacement

Sometimes repairing an older pool heater simply isn’t the best investment.

If your heater has significant corrosion, an expensive failed component, repeated breakdowns or has reached the end of its practical service life, we’ll explain your options.

When replacement makes more sense, we can help you select the proper heater for your pool or pool-and-spa combination and professionally install the new equipment.

Our goal isn’t to sell you a new heater when yours can reasonably be repaired. We’ll give you a practical recommendation so you can decide whether repair or replacement makes the most sense.

Pool Heater Repair & Replacement FAQ

How much does pool heater repair cost?

Pool heater repair cost depends on the heater, the failed component and the amount of troubleshooting or repair required. We diagnose the problem and explain the recommended repair before proceeding.

How long does a pool heater last?

Pool heater life varies depending on the equipment, installation, water chemistry, usage and environment. Older heaters may continue operating for many years, but corrosion or repeated expensive repairs can eventually make replacement the better choice.

Should I repair or replace my pool heater?

That depends on the heater’s age and condition, the cost of the needed repair and whether the unit has experienced repeated problems. We can evaluate the heater and explain whether repair or replacement appears to be the more practical option.

Can I repair a pool heater myself?

Pool heaters can involve natural gas or propane, high-voltage electricity, combustion systems and safety controls. Heater repairs should generally be performed by an experienced professional.

What pool heater brands do you service?

We service major pool and spa heater brands including Pentair, Jandy, Raypak and Hayward.

Do you replace pool heaters?

Yes. When an existing heater is no longer practical to repair, we can recommend and install an appropriate replacement for your pool or spa system.

  • Our pool heater hadn't been working for the past two years. It was time to replace it so I didn't hesitate to contact Mike. He had installed a variable speed pump a few years ago and did an excellent job. He had also done other equipment maintenance over the years. Mike was going to take a look at the heater to see what was wrong but I decided to just replace it as it was about 21 years old and continued to breakdown. Mike made a recommendation on a model and just finished installing it. He had to redo some plumbing to adjust to the new heater. He did an excellent job. He even repainted all of the plumbing pipes so it looks new.

    I can always rely on Mike if I have a swimming pool issue. He's friendly, kind and most of all very competent with any swimming pool issue. I can trust he will do the right thing and he always does. He even removed a few automatic valve actuators and converted them to manual without charge.
    I am grateful to have someone who I can trust in the swimming pool business who does outstanding work.
    Thank you Mike!

  • I cannot say enough good things about Mike! We had him install a new pump and controller and he was upfront and honest every step of the way. He gave us lots of good options for our needs and the quality of work was top notch. Most importantly, I felt that Mike was one of the rare ones out there that truly knows his stuff. His expertise and friendly demeanor made us feel very comfortable with the whole project. We will definitely be calling Mike whenever we have our next pool project!

  • I needed a pool railing put in for my new pool as my partner is disabled and requires it to safely use our new pool. Mike was super helpful and responsive in the selection and installation of the rail.  Great customer service, outstanding installation service. I would highly recommend him for all pool needs.

  • I was made aware of Mike's pool company by seeing one of his service trucks in my neighborhood and thought to give them a call. I recently moved into a new home with a pool that had been neglected over the past few years, and needed advice on how to bring it back to life.

    Mike immediately got back to me and let me know he would personally stop by my property to give it a look. He let me know what was needed for repairs, and what wasn't necessary in the short term. He never tried to up-sell me, just gave me an honest answer and good advice.

    I ended up having Mike install a new filter and variable speed pump. The equipment purchase was made through him, and along with labor, the price was incredibly fair. After the install, Mike gave me a full rundown on the new equipment, and provided several suggestions and advice on maintaining the pool.

    All in all I was very pleased with his professionalism and service. Will be calling him again if needed.

  • We needed a hand rail installed in our older pool.  Mike was consistently very responsive.  He offered a fair price and was always punctual.  He was especially helpful when we ran into a challenge installing the hand rail due to the age of the brick surrounding our pool.  His quick thinking enabled us to get the much-needed hand rail installed.  I can't recommend him highly enough!
