Thank you for considering Larsen's Pool & Spa. As a swimming pool contractor we design, engineer and build new pools. Our package pool plan starts at $74,900. We also perform full/complete pool renovations. Our ability to enhance your project with travertine, pavers, lighting, screen enclosures and quality equipment makes us the "go to" pool builder for the Tampa Bay area. Service area not covered: Hernando, Manatee/Sarasota & Polk Counties.
"We had a fantastic experience with Larsen’s Pool and Spa! The process began with a welcome call from the owner, Eric Larsen. He listened to our wants and was thoughtful when choosing the designer to assign to the project. The designing phase began with an in-home meeting with Dan who we worked with during the entire pool design phase. He was very detail-oriented, a great listener, and was willing to tweak the design several times to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. We received designs from multiple different companies, and Dan's design was the best. Not only did he integrate our wishes, but also came up with inventive ideas to integrate into our backyard space. After we finalized the big picture design, we met with Dan at the Larsen's Pool and Spa office to pick out the specific travertine, tiles, and other finishing options. Dan and the company were very transparent throughout the entire process. We always knew the price for each design, option, and upgrade with no surprises. This experience was very different than with the other companies we received quotes from. The cliché about getting what you pay for is very true (in a positive matter of speaking) when it comes to Larsen's Pool and Spa. Their price is very fair for the great product and service you receive. Once the project and digging actually began, Dan handed us over to Reid, who managed the construction phase. Like Eric and Dan, Reid was also outstanding! He did a great job keeping things on schedule and talking us through what to expect. He was there to handle any small changes or fixes that became necessary throughout the construction. Again, with no surprise costs! Our project had a lot of unique features - elevation change, waterfalls, and a slide, and not only did Reid keep the project moving quickly, but actually finished it ahead of schedule! Once the pool was filled with water, Justin and Mike came to start-up our pool and teach us how to run everything. Reid, Justin, and Mike continue to be available to answer questions about the functionality and maintenance well after completion. Larsen's Pool and Spa is not only by your side during the project, but they stay by your side while you enjoy your pool for years to come. If you have any questions or issues, they are there to help, which is very different from other companies that once paid will just disappear. We are thrilled with how our pool turned out and definitely recommend Larsen's Pool and Spa to anyone choosing a pool company. And hopefully, if you do choose Larsen's, you will be lucky enough to work with Dan and Reid as we can't recommend them enough."

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.
