"This is my one-year anniversary of using Ogre Dan's pool service and I couldn't be happier with the results. I used to maintain my pool myself and every year around this time I would be fighting the black and green algae. Now my pool is beautiful, clean and blue. I'm so looking forward to having the family over for swimming this year and I have Ogre Dan's service to thank. Erin, who services my pool, is always courteous, responsible and efficient. In addition, he is always careful to look after my dogs when he is on-site. He even picks up my Amazon deliveries and brings them up to the house. These guys are the best and I recommend them to anyone who wants quality pool service."

"Daniel was very knowledgeable and responsive to all my requests. I originally called him to take a look at replacing a pool heater, but I ending up expanding the scope of the work as I got very comfortable with his knowledge and honesty about what he believed was necessary to have a great pool. I would highly recommend him for anything to do with a swimming pool and spa."

"Kevin is awesome. He did the work quickly and made sure everything was perfect. I’m hiring him again to do a chandelier install and to add an outdoor outlet for my water feature."

"We had used Secure to re-roof the rest of our roof about 10 years ago except for the new addition. We have never had any problem with the original re-roofing.
This time we wanted to have the addition roof repaired before we left for a 3-week vacation. Although they were scheduled tight they committed to completing the job before we left. It was a bit of a squeaker but with our firm encouragement they completed the job about 4 days before we had to leave.
Although the new roof has yet to be challenged by a good rain storm, I trust that it will perform as well as the original roof which they installed or if any issues develop, they will follow up and cure any problems.

"We've had our pool for 30 years. Been through several pool companies, some with disastrous results. Brushed Pool and Spa is by far the best. We've learned so much about the importance of regular maintenance as well as the importance of a proper pool vacuum. Well done!"

"We called to schedule an appointment, the guy came on time and explained us all about solar and answered all our questions. He found out the first system we installed was too small and that is why we aren't saving any money. He was able to design an additional system that would work with our existing system.  With in a month materials and installers came to our house and installed the system with in 2 days. 3 Weeks later Edison came and turned on our system. Since then we are truly not paying any electrical bills and we are finally enjoying our solar system. Year to date we have a credit with Edison of $222.6 and still counting.
Great company to work with great product and finally a company who delivers what they promised.

"AHS is ok. They cover repairs of most everything under the roof of your house. The companies that contract with them are not always the best. You call AHS with the issue, they send a fax to the repair company and give you the contact info. If they don't contact you within 24 hours, you call them. Sometimes they answer, sometimes they don't. When they arrive (usually three days or so later), they service the item. if it has issues within the 90 days, you call AHS again, they are sent out with no charge. If the serviceman decides the unit is unrepairable, AHS will allow you to choose a replacement from their listing (usually not as good as what you have) they will install and remove your old item, or give you wholesale amount to buy and install your own. Prices vary on what you want covered and what you want the copay to be, plus where you live. For me it is 49.99 per month with a 75.00 time of service order. You can have more than one item serviced at the same time under the same fee. If you have a SEAR product the repair guys are great. Not that wild about the other ones they send out. But it is a big savings compared to calling someone on your own. The cost of service is only the 75.00 copay."

"They arrived on time and asked for a tour and I went over which areas to skip and which areas I wanted focused on. They quickly spread out and began cleaning. Unfortunately after about 1.5 hours my water broke. I had them continue another hour or so letting them know they needed to wrap it up while I packed my bag and had my husband come home from work. When he arrived they had him sign that the work was complete and quickly disappeared. While circumstances were beyond their control I was hoping they would offer to come back and finish but this did not happen. They also left behind a dust pan and glass cleaner. I also found they had messed up the cables connected to the tv so the remote would not work. So overall the parts they cleaned were fine and circumstances made it impossible for them to finish the job.

FAQs for swimming pool heaters installation and replacement projects in Lakeside, CA

Yes, you can add a heater to an existing pool. A pro can retrofit a heater to nearly any in-ground or above-ground pool. Adding a heater allows you to start the swim season earlier, finish it later, and maintain a steady water temperature in between. Many owners schedule the job during a larger pool upgrade, but it also works as a standalone project. Professional installation ties the new unit into the existing pump and plumbing for safe, efficient operation.

Most owners switch the heater on a day or two before they plan to swim, then shut it down afterward. Reaching the target temperature can take 24 to 72 hours, depending on pool size and outdoor conditions. Using a cover while the heater is off helps hold the heat and keeps energy costs in check.

Pool heaters can freeze if left exposed to extreme conditions. Freezing can damage internal heater components, potentially leading to costly pool repairs. Cycling water, covering the heater, and regular maintenance help prevent freezing. Sealing or winterizing your heater also protects it during the season—this involves draining water from the heater and its components.

Pool heaters operate with lifespans spanning from seven to 30 years. Gas and propane models last seven to 12 years, while electric and solar heaters perform efficiently for up to 30 years. Consistent professional maintenance and routine inspections extend the heater’s life and improve its performance, ensuring a safe and reliable heating system for your pool.

Before hiring a pool heater installation contractor, conduct thorough research by reviewing online feedback and gathering recommendations from trusted sources. Contact multiple professionals to discuss pricing, request references, and understand the complete installation process. This careful evaluation ensures you select a qualified contractor who delivers high-quality service and a successful installation.
