Pool Heater Repair Services in Peoria
Ignition Troubleshooting
If your heater clicks but won't light, we diagnose and fix issues with igniters, flame sensors, and gas valves to get the fire burning safely again.
Error Code Diagnostics
Modern heaters display complex error codes. Our technicians know how to interpret these codes and replace the exact failing sensor or board.
Flow & Pressure Switches
Heaters have built-in safety switches that prevent firing if water flow is too low. We test and replace faulty pressure switches and bypass valves.
Heat Pump Repair
In addition to gas heaters, we service electric heat pumps. We check refrigerant levels, clean evaporator coils, and repair compressor electrical issues.
Control Board Replacement
Lightning strikes and power surges can fry a heater's main circuit board. We safely replace damaged boards and ensure proper wiring connections.
Rodent Damage Repair
Mice and rats love to nest inside warm pool heaters, often chewing through wires. We clean out nests and repair damaged wiring harnesses.
Brands/Materials We Work With
We service and repair all major brands of pool heaters, including Pentair (MasterTemp), Raypak, Hayward (Universal H-Series), and Jandy (JXi). Our technicians are familiar with the specific quirks and common failures of each manufacturer's models.
When a repair requires new parts, we use OEM components, from thermal regulators to control boards, ensuring your heater operates safely and efficiently. If a replacement is needed, we install high-efficiency Cupro-Nickel heat exchangers designed to withstand harsh water chemistry.
How a Pool Heater Repair Visit Works
Safety Check & Diagnostics
We start by ensuring the gas and electrical connections are safe. Then, we run the heater through its startup sequence to pinpoint exactly where it fails.
Clear Written Quote
Once we identify the faulty part (whether it's a sensor, board, or valve), we provide a free written quote for the repair before any work begins.
Professional Repair
Our technicians replace the broken components, clean out any debris inside the cabinet, and secure all wiring and gas connections.
Testing and Verification
We fire up the heater, verify that it reaches the set temperature without shutting off prematurely, and ensure there are no gas or water leaks.
Warning Signs You Need Pool Heater Repair
- Heater Clicks But Won't IgniteIf you hear clicking but no whoosh of flames, the igniter is trying to work but the gas valve may be closed, or the pilot tube is clogged.
- Soot or Black SmokeBlack soot around the exhaust vent indicates incomplete combustion, usually caused by poor airflow or a dirty burner. Turn the heater off immediately.
- Water Leaking from the CabinetA puddle forming under your heater often means the internal heat exchanger has corroded and cracked, which is a major issue.
- Error Codes on DisplayModern heaters will display codes like "LO FLO" or "AGS". These are built-in diagnostics telling you exactly which safety switch has tripped.
Repair vs Replace
Because pool heaters are complex appliances mixing water, electricity, and gas, safety is our top priority. If your heater is relatively new and simply needs a sensor or igniter, a repair is the obvious choice.
However, if your heater is over 8 years old and the copper heat exchanger has corroded and started leaking water, repairing it is usually not cost-effective. In these cases, we offer complete heater replacement services. We provide a free written quote after we see it, ensuring you have all the facts before making a decision.

Pool Heater Repair FAQ
Why won't my pool heater turn on?
A heater that won't ignite can be caused by several issues, including low water flow, a bad pressure switch, a faulty thermostat, or a blocked gas line. We test the entire system to find the exact cause.
Do you repair both gas heaters and electric heat pumps?
Yes, our technicians are fully trained to diagnose and repair both natural gas/propane pool heaters and electric heat pumps.
Why is my heater clicking but not igniting?
Clicking without ignition usually means the igniter is working, but there is an issue with the gas valve, a dirty flame sensor, or a blockage in the pilot tube.
How long does a pool heater last?
With proper water chemistry and regular maintenance, a quality gas pool heater typically lasts between 7 and 10 years.
Why does my heater turn on and then immediately shut off?
This is known as short-cycling. It is often caused by a dirty filter restricting water flow, a bad high-limit switch, or an internal bypass issue.
Can you replace my old heater with a new one?
Absolutely. If your heater is beyond economical repair, we can safely remove it and install a modern, high-efficiency replacement unit.
