"We had an outstanding experience with [Pool Tech's Name]! On a holiday weekend, he arrived at a moment notice to diagnose an issue with our pool heater pump that our regular pool service had been unable to identify for months. He quickly pinpointed the problem, replaced parts, and performed necessary repairs right away? all with exceptional skill and efficiency. What truly set him apart was his communication and reliability. Out of several technicians I contacted for quotes, he consistently responded first, answering all my calls, texts, and questions promptly, no matter the time. His professionalism, timeliness, and expertise make him a standout in his field. Finally, a skilled, reliable, and communicative pool technician! A+ for his service, and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of pool equipment repairs."

"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."

"When Jim came to evaluate the situation I told him the consensus of the other companies.  With the square footage of my house he couldn't believe the 5 ton wouldn't cool the house.  Especially since I installed drop shades on the west side.  After looking in the attic at the duct system he told me the ducts were not sized correctly and not connected.  I just paid another company to connect all the ducts!!!  After careful consideration his solution was to put a mini split in the master bedroom since it was the furthest point from the A/C and tie off that duct and install new duct work from the blower to all the registers.  He also installed 3 new registers in the living room and kitchen since the only registers were to the evaporative cooler (swamp).  Also installed an additional air return to help circulate the hot air on one side of the house.  Again he told me there was no reason the 5 ton unit shouldn't cool the house (minus the master) and it seemed ridiculous not to use what I had efficiently.  I agreed and he began the project.  It took a little longer than planned because it was so hot in the attic he and his service person Tate could only stay there until about noon.  I didn't blame them and since I still had cool air from the swamp cooler it was O.K.  The project was completed and so far the house has been cool and very nice.  He is going to have me use the system for awhile and decide if the thermostat needs to be moved to a different location which is also part of the price.
As others have said, Jim doesn't try to sell you additional services or equipment you don't need.  It's not often you find a company that the owner is on site everyday and checking to make sure his technician is doing the job correctly.  I believe he is a man of his word and if this solution didn't work he would do something else to make sure the house did cool.  I will highly recommend him to all my friends and he is my heating and cooling guy.

"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."

"I highly recommend Steve and his crew at O.C Pool Technicians. They are professional and a pleasure to do business with. They were very flexible with any changes I wanted to make and always had time to answer my questions. He came up with a plan to fit my budget and there were no unexpected extra costs. I will use them again for any future projects"

"They had to do a lot of things.  Most of the people I worked with were great.  It took three months to finish the work.  They were all ready to go ahead and do the work.  They were responsive and tried to figure out what to do.  It was not entirely a perfect process.  Most of the part it was not their fault.  There was some frustration at times.  The pool, however, looks great.  The person I contacted in the company was super responsive.  She was great.  They were definitely responsive.  They did what they needed to do.  When we filled the pool it did not fill up since the pool was leaking.  They had to completely redo it.  It turned out that the electrostatic value was left open.  I had to keep filling the pool until they figured out the problem and got an extra $300 water bill."

FAQs for swimming pool heaters repair or service projects in Palm Desert, 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.
