Swimpool 360 diagnoses and repairs all types of pool heaters across Toronto and the GTA. Gas heaters, heat pumps, and solar heating systems. Ignition failures, heat exchanger issues, thermostat faults, pressure switches, and refrigerant problems - our technicians fix them all. Fast response across the GTA.
Swimpool 360 repairs all three main types of pool heating systems used by GTA homeowners. Pool heater repair covers gas heaters (natural gas and propane), which are the most common and can fail due to ignition component failures, heat exchanger scaling from high calcium water, gas valve faults, thermostat calibration drift, and pressure switch failures. We carry common gas heater parts and can complete most repairs in a single visit. Our full pool repair services cover all equipment types across the GTA.
Heat pump pool heaters are increasingly popular for their efficiency. Typical pool heat pump repair Toronto calls involve refrigerant charge loss, compressor faults, frozen evaporator coils, fan motor failures, and control board issues. Solar pool heater repairs involve manifold leaks, collector tube blockages, sensor failures, and control valve issues. As a trusted pool heater GTA service provider, Swimpool 360 handles all three heater types across the region.
Gas heater igniter assembly failures, thermocouple replacement, pilot assembly service, and electronic ignition board diagnosis. The most common gas heater fault resolved quickly with the right parts.
Calcium scale accumulation inside the heat exchanger reduces heat transfer efficiency and can eventually crack the exchanger. Descaling with acid flush restores heat output and extends heater life significantly.
Thermostat recalibration, temperature sensor replacement, and high-limit sensor service. A faulty sensor can cause the heater to under-heat, overheat, or cycle off prematurely. Often resolved in a single visit.
Gas valve failure prevents the heater from receiving adequate fuel. We diagnose and replace faulty gas valves on natural gas and propane heater models. All gas work performed by qualified technicians.
Heat pump pool heater service including refrigerant charge verification, compressor testing, evaporator coil cleaning, fan motor inspection, and control board diagnosis. All heat pump brands serviced.
Spring heater reconnection and inspection at pool opening. Burner inspection, heat exchanger check, all connections verified, control panel test, and run test to verify the heater reaches set temperature before the season starts.

For any swimming pool heater repair Toronto homeowners need, the heat exchanger is the most expensive component and the part most often damaged by poor water chemistry. A heat exchanger in a gas heater exposes pool water to high temperatures that accelerate the effects of any chemical imbalances. When pH is chronically high (above 7.8), calcium in the water precipitates and forms calcium scale on the heat exchanger walls. This scale acts as insulation, forcing the heater to burn more fuel to achieve the same heating output, eventually causing the heat exchanger to overheat and crack. When pH is chronically low (below 7.2), the water is mildly acidic and corrodes the heat exchanger metal directly, causing pinhole leaks and premature failure.
Heat exchanger replacement typically costs $800 to $1,500 for a gas heater and is usually not economical for a heater over 10 years old. The single best way to protect your heater investment is consistent water chemistry maintenance, which is exactly what Swimpool 360's weekly pool maintenance plan provides. Clients on maintenance plans rarely face heat exchanger failures from chemistry damage. For pools with naturally hard water in the GTA, we also recommend a phosphate remover and a regular scale inhibitor as part of the chemical program.
When a pool heater reaches end of life or suffers an uneconomical failure, GTA pool owners face a choice between replacing with a gas heater or upgrading to a heat pump. The right answer depends on how the pool is used. For gas pool heater repair Ontario or replacement, gas models heat pool water quickly regardless of outdoor temperature and are ideal for pools used occasionally, for heating spas, or for heating pools in the shoulder season when air temperatures are below 10 degrees Celsius. A 200,000 BTU gas heater can raise a typical 60,000-litre pool by 10 degrees in 6 to 8 hours.
Heat pump pool heaters extract heat from outdoor air using a refrigerant cycle. When air temperatures are above 15 degrees Celsius, a quality heat pump achieves a coefficient of performance (COP) of 5 to 7, meaning it produces 5 to 7 units of heat for every unit of electricity consumed. For pools that run continuously through the GTA swim season from May through September, a heat pump can reduce heating costs by 50 to 75 percent compared to a gas heater. Swimpool 360 installs and services both heater types across the GTA. Our team can assess your pool usage, gas rates, and electrical service to help you make the right replacement decision.
