Why Your Heater Fails (And How We Fix It)
A pool heater is a furnace in an outdoor box, exposed to the elements and chemicals. Some high-stress parts fail most often. If you see any of these issues, call us immediately:
The Heater Won’t Start
The Cause: Normally, the igniter, or the thermocouple, has burned out. This is the tiny part that starts the flame. Other times, it can be because of a failed gas valve or issues with the main control board.
How We Fix: We troubleshoot the entire start-up sequence. We check the gas pressure and the electrical signal to the igniter. We replaced the faulty component and ensured it fired up perfectly.
Water Stays Cold
The Cause: This is often a flow issue. The flame is on, but the heat is trapped. Either you have mineral scale buildup inside the heat exchanger, or a sensor is incorrectly reporting the temperature.
How We Fix: We verify the water flow rate. If there's a sensor problem, we replace it and adjust it. If not, then we assess whether the unit can be safely cleaned or whether the extent of long-term damage requires replacement.
It Cycles On and Off
The Cause: Your heater might be going on and off too often. It's generally a low flow error because the pump isn't sending enough water, or the pressure switch has failed.
How We Fix: We find the faulty safety sensor that's tripping the lockout. Our technicians replace it and ensure the flow is strong and consistent so the unit runs in a stable, uninterrupted cycle.
Water Dripping Constantly
The Cause: The pool heater likely has a crack or pinhole leak in the heat exchanger. This is usually caused by years of imbalanced pH and chlorine.
How We Fix: We identify the main source of the leak and provide you with our assessment. If the repairs are too expensive, we'll suggest replacing the entire pool heater. If not, then we'll fix it perfectly.
A pool heater job requires three different licenses: electrical, plumbing, and gas/HVAC. Most companies only have one. We have all three. We don't need to call in a secondary technician for the gas line pressure test, or a third guy for the high-voltage wiring on a heat pump. One truck, one appointment is all it takes.
