"Mr. Luis Rodriguez is a very professional, knowledgeable and very kind and courteous person. His pricing was very fair and he was very easy to contact; answered the phone the first time I called and every time thereafter. We were very pleased with his explanation of what needed replacing and with his availability to do the work. Only our filter needed replacing; he did not try to persuade us to replace the other equipment. We decided to have him replace the rest of the equipment since it was very old and not energy efficient. He also provided, not only the documents needed to qualify for the LADWP variable speed pump rebate, but many pictures showing the new pump settings and encouraged us to send them by certified mail to ensure that we receive the rebate. This showed us he cared; he went beyond that which was necessary. He was very attentive to answering all of my concerns with the pump settings with explanations that made sense ( my current pool service could not or would not answer). We were so happy with his service and knowledge that we asked if he would do our maintenance vs. current company but he politely responded that we are out of his service area. We highly recommend this very responsible and professional person."

"We highly recommend Absolute Pools. Our pool was in terrible shape. It was built in the 60’s and not up to code and in need of resurfacing. We tried getting estimates from other companies who either never returned our call or quoted us exorbitant prices for basic work. Absolute Pools promptly returned our call, Chris came out the next day for an estimate, and the team began work within 2 weeks!! Noe guided us through the project daily and he let us know ahead of time of unexpected repairs. Their pricing was very fair. We are thrilled with how our pool looks. They used fiberglass, gave us all new plumbing, a new light, and beautiful tile. It is fully up to code and GORGEOUS!! We highly recommend Absolute Pools. Noe, Chris, and their team did an amazing job!!"

"Mr. Rodriguez promptly called me and set up an appointment for the same day. He showed up on time and gave me an estimate. He did the work that same afternoon, expertly replacing a worn-out pool pump. He charged exactly the price he quoted me. I would highly recommend him for pool repairs."

"My pool heater was over 30 years old and peripheral issues needed to be resolved before we could install a new one. The integrity of the gas line needed to be determined and better by pool immediately turned off the gas, and determined that there was no problem with the gas line. In doing this they Eliminated the potential for gas line replacement, which needed to be done prior to purchasing a new pool heater. The other company that came to give me an estimate did not react properly and left me with unanswered questions, thatâ s preventing me from doing business with them."

"I contacted them for a quote and they called me within 10 minutes. Explained what they would do and the cost. (I also had two other quotes, 1 company was a little more expensive, the other quoted long distance rate). We set the date and they explained the cancellation policy. They called the day before the move to re-confirm the time and asked if I had any questions. The next morning two young men, Jason and Serge, arrived on time. They were prompt, professional, hard workers and had a great sense of humor. We walked through the house so they would understand what was being moved. And then they started. They worked fast but were very careful in wrapping and organizing everything. Once loaded, we headed to the new place. Several items needed to be moved out to go to another location which they did very quickly. Then everything was unloaded, we headed to a second location to drop off items and pick one up to return to the condo. Everything was moved without a dent, nick, chip or any breakage. They arranged furniture for me and put together things they had taken apart. They did the complete job in just 5 hours. I would absolutely hire this company again. I was very pleased with them."

FAQs for swimming pool heaters repair or service projects in Encino, CA

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.
