"Eduardo was very quick to respond. I had sent my info on my pump, and he had let me know within the hour that he had a replacement that he could bring over that very same day. He came later in the afternoon and promptly replaced my pump motor with a compatible model. He was prompt and professional. He was also able to provide a pool filter cap when he realized I had a leak in my system, which was originally unplanned for. I would highly recommend The Best Pool Doctor based on my experience."

"Recently employed Sweetwater to install a vinyl liner and perform some additional service issues. Steve is great to work with and the installation was performed very timely and with little disruption. His crew is top notch and very willing to answer questions and showed considerable knowledge of all aspects of running a pool. Pricing was reasonable and there were no unpleasant surprises. Pool liner is beautiful and we are enjoying every moment we can. I would highly recommend this company and plan on using them in the future for all our pool needs."

"It was time for an update to our kitchen and a few other items around the house. Jesse and his team were clean, professional, and timely getting the job done. They rewired and added outlets in our kitchen, added a few ceiling fans, and replaced our thermostats, among other things in our remodel journey. I highly recommend Jesse and his team to tackle any new or existing electrical job or issue you might have."

"The electrician who came to the house was punctual and professional. However, he did not have the switch required for the job on his truck to complete the job so he to leave and drive to another town to get it. Since it is the Day after Thanksgiving, it took aout an hour and half to come back (due to traffic & the fact that the supply house in Medford was closed and he had to eventually go to Home Depot.)
 
I was very surprised when I got the final bill. I had purchased the program of 2 hours for $99.00 and I was told by JJ on the phone that although the job took a total of 1.5 hours to complete, I had to pay an additional $110.37 for the electrician R/T drive from Providence to Waltham  (about 2 to 2 1/2 hours).  This was NOT disclosed when I bought into the program. For the total of $210--I could have gotten a local electrician. Plus,  the basement light is now wired into the closet light (again, they didnt have the supplies on hand to give it its own switch.)  So, I will have to hire another electrician to fix that.  The overall experience was poor.

UPDATE:  The electrician who performed the service came back within 2 days of their first visit and finished the job and wired the basement light to our satisfaction. So I changed the rating to a  "C" as fair."

"Once again, Ranieri Construction has gone above and beyond our expectations! We needed to have our inground pool patched and painted, and may I say Andrew (and Lou) did an outstanding job. My husband usually spends time (and $) at the beginning of the season making sure the water stays clean and clear. But patching up all the spots, and then painting the entire pool ensured the pool was so much easier to clean and keep clear on day 1. The improvements also made it easier to maintain the water balance and keep clean. Please consider these folks- they are prompt, detail oriented and very efficient. Feel free to get in touch with us if you want to hear more"

"Finally - a service technician who is competent, does what he says he's going to do and charges a fair price for it! I had been looking for someone to fix our jacuzzi bath tub for awhile and had had no luck finding someone through Jacuzzi, so I checked out Angie's List and found House of Spas.  Based on the reviews, I gave them a call.  Troy got back to me promptly; we set up an appointment; he came when he said he would and determined that we needed a new pump.  He told me that he would order one and then call me when it came in, and left without asking for any payment.   After a week or so -- I don't remember exactly how long but it was what you would expect in terms of getting a new part -- he called to tell me the pump was in and we set up the installation appointment.  He returned when he said he would with another technician, they installed the pump, and the jacuzzi has been working fine ever since. Troy charged me $400 for the pump, $95 for the initial service call and $100 for the labor to install the pump/check for leaks, etc., all of which seemed fair to me, especially considering the distance he traveled to do the work.  He accepted a 10% Angie's List coupon, so that brought the total down to $535.50, with a 1 year warranty on parts and labor. I would definitely recommend House of Spas."

"They have always fixed the problems that we've had. Frustrations? Delays? At times. We live in a flawed world. But overall, service has been professional and well done. It has always been worth the monthly fee and deductibles. If you consider that most appliances today only last five years or so, breakdowns are going to be a given. Our most recent repair will require at least two service calls and an $1800 part. That more than pays for our entire year's fees."

FAQs for swimming pool heaters repair or service projects in Allston, MA

Replacing a pool heater costs $3,000 on average. Final pricing depends on the type of heater (gas, electric, or solar) and your pool's size. Factor for swimming pool repair costs, at an average of $3,800. When you start experiencing issues with your pool heater, other equipment and structural failures often follow. Installation is often the least expensive for electric and gas heaters. Heat pumps and solar panels often cost several thousand dollars more to install.

A pool heater’s lifespan is determined by its type and proper upkeep. Solar heaters last 20 to 25 years, electric heat pumps perform for five to 10 years, and gas heaters remain effective for 5 years. Regular pool maintenance safeguards performance and prevents premature failure. Ensuring that you adhere to a strict annual service schedule protects your investment and maintains consistent heating efficiency.

Depending on the size of your pool, location, climate, and current energy prices, you’ll spend up to $20 per hour to heat a pool using propane, $9 per hour using natural gas, and $1 to $2 per hour for a heat pump. Northern climates require more energy and can double the price. Standard estimates allow homeowners to easily estimate the cost of heating a pool for a month. Propane heaters, for example, are known to burn around 1 gallon per hour per 100,000 BTUs.

An electric or gas heat pump will take eight to 14 hours to heat a pool, while a solar heat pump takes 24 to 72 hours. Multiply the number of gallons by 8.34 to get your total pounds of water. Divide this figure by your heater's BTU rating to determine how many hours it takes to raise the water temperature by 1 degree Fahrenheit.

If your pool heater is not raising the water temperature to the desired level, the issue is caused by cold ambient conditions rather than a malfunction. The best solution is to install a solar cover that locks in heat and boosts efficiency. A solar cover costing $120 to $250 enhances heat retention, ensuring your heater performs at its peak. Additionally, verify that all settings—such as thermostat calibration and water circulation—are properly adjusted to support optimal heating.

Regular annual maintenance is crucial to keep your pool heater running efficiently and to avoid high repair costs. Investing $100 to $200 in yearly maintenance prevents issues such as excessive noise, surging energy bills, and malfunctioning controls. This proactive care not only prolongs your heater’s lifespan but also ensures reliable performance throughout the season. Always refer to your warranty guidelines to follow the required maintenance procedures.
