"I hired Jeff to replaced the 22 year old heater for my in-ground spa. Within minutes of my Home Advisor inquiry, Jeff called and was able to come to the site the same day. Jeff was extremely knowledgeable, and knew exactly what to do. Based on his knowledge, I hired him on the spot. Best move I could ever have made! Jeff was able to install a new heater a few days later, and did a great job! The work was very professional and well done, and pricing was very competitive. Would I hire Jeff again? Absolutely! He was very concerned about the quality of his work, and communicated every step of the process with me (he even put up with all my endless questions!). Would strongly recommend him to any customer!"

"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."

"We contacted Steve through Angie List because we wanted to give our old 80 style pool a much needed and quot;faceliftand quot;. Unfortunately, to finances a full remodel is not an option at this time so we wanted to do the best we could with the limited funds we had available. We contact several pool contractors and Steve at OC Pool Technicians was the only one who seemed to undertsand our budget and needs. He came out for a consultation and told my husband the possibilities and his recomendations of how to spend our $1000 max budget. Our primary concerns were the staining and discoloration of our white pool plaster, tile, and grout. We also had a missing pool drain cover. Steve told my husband that once the acid bath was done the plaster would be white again and the discoloration and stain would be gone that he could clean up the tile and grout and that he could replace the drain cover and replace the spa light all within our budget. It took about a week to get a written estimate and after careful consideration we decided to move forward. It took about another week to schedule the start of the work. it started with draining the pool which took a couple days, then the repair of plaster on the step, then the acid bath which took a day, then the sanding, then to our surprise with a couple of days from starting the job, he was filling the pool back up. It's here we run into all the complaints...the pool plaster was not all white after he did his job, you could visibly see the same discoloration and while the staining was better it was not by any means gone as he'd promised. We contacted Steve and he responded that that was best it would get and that to him it looked beautiful. Well that's great but to me it looks the same and I'm the paying customer. So we pushed the issue and continued to express disappointment. Then came the excuses...he had one for everything we weren't pleased with...the first excuse... was too old to do any more treatments or sanding and that if we wanted more we would have to sign a waiver releasing him of any libaility or damage to the pool. Feeling very disouraged and not pleased which we communicated to Steve we had him finish the work on the spa light and filled in the pool. Our only request was that he make the tile and grout sparkle to hopefully at least give the pool the illusion of being updated. He said he came out and worked on it several times but it not nuch better either--definitely not how I expected/he promised it to be. When we communicated how unhappy we were with the tile/grout outcome we got excuse number two..now it was it too old and simply needed to be replaced. WOW! Really! we already new that and we're not pool contractors. the experiance and outcome was less than diserable and while there is an improvement in the appearance of the pool its absoluely not what we were lead to believe it would be. It's. About 60% better than it was to start. Absolutely not $1000 better. Of course, he wanted to be paid along the way for the process and upon completion. He offered no discount for the service even though we weren't happy with the outcome. In my opinion he found out how much money we had to spend, told us what we wanted to hear, and made promises to get our business but couldn't ever deliver what he promised to. I've had lots of great experiences with Angie's List contractors this just wasn't one of them.

"We had Crystal Pool & Spa quote and then remodel our existing in ground plaster pool.  They were quick to do estimates, they only do it via email.  They were able to look up the build records of our pool and then quote the remodel based on size.  The pool is approx 15' wide by 32' long with 9' deep end and 3' shallow end.  There is a tiny spa, but the old homeowners removed the heater.  The Spa barely holds one person, so we opted to remove the spa wall and make a seating area for the pool.  CPS was quick to quote, started work in about two weeks and it took two weeks to finish.  Took a little longer since the tile we originally wanted was out of stock and took a few days to get tile samples as well.  Overall, all the crews worked quickly and hard and did an excellent job.  Two weeks start to finish until the pool was full of water

They left the backyard pretty clean afterwards, but the plaster guys left some plaster material in a flower planter bed, that was empty.  So I am left with cleaning that out.  Everyone was very nice and professional and the work went smoothly, very hassle free."

"Pedro H. *A MAN OF INTEGRITY* 90-DAY REVIEW. I am a Senior Citizen in my 70s, a bi-racial minority, the daughter of a US Air Force Veteran, the widow of a US Air Force Vietnam War area Veteran, the mother of two daughters, one disabled, a son-in-law that was a former US Marine [received the purple heart], a son-in-law that is disabled, and a proud grandmother of my first grandson. I stated all of that to show that I have lived a long and blessed life. I know what it is like to be treated with respect and dignity. Over the past thirteen years, my late husband and I have contracted with many pools and/or spa maintenance personnel that live and work in the Coachella Valley. To date, I have never been treated with more respect, dignity, and professionalism as I have experienced with Pedro H. [Major League Pool Service]. I was left in tears and appalled after having been unfairly treated by the previous maintenance personnel [never on time, never knew when they were coming, paid for services not performed, and treated very disrespectfully as a woman of color]. I was referred to Pedro H. [ a licensed contractor] through HomeAdvisor and it was one of the best investments of time, money, and peace of mind, regarding my home, that I have ever made. Pedro is always on time, worked the Columbus Day holiday, sometimes works on the weekends, does quality work, works both smarter and harder, knows the equipment, knows the best chemical mixture to not only remove stains, but also keep them from returning, has expertly and personally cleaned, and is maintaining my filters, replaced my spa equipment gasket which had unexpectedly sprung a leak, and, because he is conscientious, wait for it, wait for it, he does not do repairs without consulting me, the homeowner first, regarding the estimated price and estimated time to complete the job. This is just unprecedented in this day and time and during this Covid-19 pandemic. He is just such a *breath of fresh air*. He is very personable and is always *smiling* and cheerful. He has provided my property with more than what I pay for his monthly pool and spa cleaning services. And he can be trusted. He is the first contractor that I have ever provided a gate lock box combination so that he can come and go as he pleases on my property when I am not home. I am so pleased with the service that I gave him a 20% monthly raise after 60 days of service. A company is only as good as its employees. And I have found Pedro H. to be a man of his word. YES, I would highly recommend his company to any homeowner or business. He has truly made a *mark on my life that cannot be easily erased*. Ms. Edith.L in Cathedral City, CA."

FAQs for swimming pool heaters installation and replacement projects in Palm Desert, 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.
