"We LITERALLY bought our house with the intent to put a pool in the backyard. When we asked our realtor for the best and reasonably priced pool builder in the area, she referred us to B & J Pools LLC who was also completing her inground pool at the time we were house hunting. When I say I had a phenomenal experience, I mean it. We collaborated as a team to make my vision of what I wanted the backyard addition to look like and Bobby and his team made it happen seamlessly. I am in love with the finished product and the timeliness of the completion."

"My inground pool was near death, with more dirt and trash in it, virtually no liner nor bottom (poolcrete completely disintegrated). Steve and team took on the project and hit it out of the part. My pool is back to its old glory and ready for the season! I can't say enough about these guys, amazing work amd I highly recommend McPherson Pool and Patio!!!"

"I neglected to cover my pool last year, needless to say, I had a swampy pool this year. I contacted Elite Pool Services and spoke with John about opening my pool. He was very easy to talk to and patient enough to explain their whole process in opening my pools. He answered his phone or returned calls left on voice mail. It only took 4 trips to get my pool "jump in ready". And that includes handling mechanical problems with pump and motor. He restored my faith in customer service. Always did what he said he was going to do. And this is saying a lot considering my experience with customer service in other areas. Very much worth the money."

"Josh has been so kind and helpful over the past two summers that he has taken care of our pool! He is trustworthy and stands by his work. I contacted him the first time when our poolâ s bottom had tons of just â junkâ that we could not vacuum away. After one trip from Josh, the bottom of the pool was clear. As we were trying to get ready to close it for the winter, Josh advised us as to what cover we would need. I ordered it and after it arrived he came out immediately, took our ladder our (which I could not physically do) and fixed the cover. Through the entire winter, the cover worked perfectly. When spring came, Josh came out and reversed the process. We have enjoyed the pool all summer and he makes sure it stays clean, clear and chemically accurate. Thanks Josh! You make our time in the pool so much more enjoyable because we donâ t have to worry about it! Thank you!ð ¥°"

"Initially we had an issue over scheduling, but that issue has been resolved and the work has been done. They did a great job, the new liner looks great. They were very pleasant to work with and Mr. Cotter even gave me some advice about general upkeep of my above ground pool. Much appreciated all around."

"I was searching Home Warranty providers after a bad experience with my 7 year, soon to be terminated "former" Fidelity Home Warranty service provider. Warranty service providers are essential, for they step in and "act" when life deals you an "Oh Crap" situation like your refrigerator suddenly quits. Every high dollar appliance in a home has a life span that will end whether your prepared for it or not. It's a common occurance that leads to unexpected higher debt concerns while you frantically attempt to save your food from going bad. Got a minimum of $1,700 to get a new one? A truck or a really good friend to borrow theirs to pick it up? Plus time to allow it to achieve proper temperature to transfer your temp sensitive food! Well if you haven't experienced this type of event, in your life, you will! I began by doing some easy research online like searching for best Home Warranty providers. I put some inquiries out to prospective providers and as expected, the sales calls began to ring on my phone. They all have why "they" are the best provider - so take notes and compare policies. Ask whether they cover swimming pools, septic systems, roof repairs etc. So my phone rings with an out-of-state area code and it's Zach from Choice Home Warranty. While on the call, this enthusiastic salesman hit all the "trigger" items I was looking for; *Annual Service Price *Price per claim deductable *Response time You know, all the "need to know" info that helps you make an informative decision. I started paying $550/year 7 years ago in 2014 with my old service provider. The per claim fee was $65. Today in 2022, it's $710/year and $85/claim. Was it worth it you ask? If I figure the math, my total cost over 7 years and only 4 claims was $4,450 or $636/year. This cost paid to replace my pools salt cell and chlorine generator ($1,800 in parts alone), 2 separate Air Conditioner repairs which replaced the coil fan motor, a circuit board replacement, system coil cleansing, relays and a capacitor. (No idea of how much my total cost would have been. I paid $65 twice. Nice huh?) 1 roof repair that replaced the "Cricket", which is a 15' roof section elevational change just below the ridge line. It's important to remember that these repairs don't include "hidden costs" which are personnel and service labor rates. Something you will pay for without a Warranty Service. Here's the best part of the call from this AWESOME salesman. He offered me 6 year "fully transferable", rate locked for life" service policy that when divided out by 6 is LESS THAN WHAT I WAS PAYING ANNUALLY, 7 YEARS AGO!!! So, is a Home Warranty plan a safe bet??? I have a 9 word answer for those without a Choice Home Warranty service plan. YOU BET YOUR DRIPPING SWEATY BUTT CRACK IT IS!!! Props to Zach, YOU DA MAN!!!

"I have had them for 19 years. I have had a number of issues, primarily with my air conditioning systems. It can be really costly to repair, so I have kept my policy intact. They have also made repairs to my microwave oven, my garage door a couple of times, plumbing, and electrical. They are always there for me and have been pretty responsive to get somebody to come out and fix whatever is broken. It can be as quick as the same day or 2-3 days later, it all depends on when I call and what type of service I am asking for. You have to go through a call center and push this and that. The call center could use some improvement. It's like a robo call. Once you talk to a human, they are pretty professional."

FAQs for swimming pool heaters repair or service projects in Bessemer, AL

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.
