"Absolutely outstanding!!! My pool had cracks and I lost a lot of water, up to 2" a day. I researched several pool companies and most of them wanted to completely rebuild the entire pool, basically build a new pool inside the old one. The cost would have been 80-100K. After a lot of interviews it was clear to me that fiberglass was the only viable alternative to save the existing pool. In my area there were only 2 companies that offered fiberglass and I interviewed them both. Although both companies most likely would have done a similar job and the quotes were very compatible, I decided to go with Absolute, a younger and newer company. It was not a mistake. Absolute was able to do the job right away, which was also very important to me since I didn't want to keep my pool empty at the beginning of the rainy season. Noe and his crew arrived exactly as promised in beautiful clean white overalls. All their tools were state of the art and they wasted no time to open up every single crack and follow the leaks until they got into damage-free territory and no rusty rebars or signs of cracks were found. The cracks were then fixed with high pressure concrete and overlapping sheets of fiberglass. The waterline tiles could be saved and were skillfully covered to prepare for several layers of fiberglass, bonding everything together. The fiberglass was applied with a state-of-the-art machine and the crew worked beautifully together. Without many words everybody knew exactly what to do. It was a joy watching the team performing in their white overalls, looking more like cosmonauts then concrete workers. The construction site was kept immaculate every day, even the demolished concrete was packaged in clean plastic bags and taken off-site. There was never any trash around. My 20 year old glass tiles were sand blasted or glass-pearl blasted and looked like new. There was no mess- up, no false claim, no delay and after only six days the pool looked like new, or better than new. I truly believe, and I got some good guarantees, that the pool was saved and will be good for another 15 years or so and all of that for less than 20K. The surface is extremely easy to clean and will probably use much less chemicals. I have done a lot of construction projects in my life, but this one was one of my best and most impressive experiences I have had. I highly recommend this company. On top of all they are super nice and friendly people to work with. Don't hesitate hiring them if you have similar problems with your pool and have exhausted any other option."

"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"

"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 Santa Barbara, 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.
