Good to know in Houston

Houston pool equipment sits in heat and humidity, and storms can cause power surges that damage pumps and controls. Many pools run a pump 8 to 12 hours a day in summer, which wears motors faster. Variable-speed pumps are common now because they cut power bills.

Replacing pumps, heaters, lights and salt systems needs a Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) Residential Appliance Installer license. New electrical circuits need a licensed electrician.

Questions about pump and heater repair

Should I repair or replace my pump?

If the motor is old or repair costs near half a new pump, replacement often makes sense.

Why does my heater not light?

Common causes are a dirty igniter, a pressure switch or low gas flow. We diagnose first.

Can I save power with a new pump?

Variable-speed pumps often use much less power than single-speed models.

Is a licensed installer required?

For pumps, heaters and lights, yes. Texas requires a TDLR license for that work.
