Local, so we get there fast

We keep our trucks, our parts and our people in Riverside County.

That means a quick response. A leak reported in the morning can often be seen the same day or the next. If you know what's wrong, the repair request form is the fastest route; if you're starting fresh, the system designer prices a layout on your own roof first.

  • Same-day and next-day service calls are easier here than anywhere else we work
  • Our own crew on your roof — we don't subcontract installs
  • Most installations finished in one to two days, pipe painted to match the house
  • 12-year panel warranty, plus a full year on our work
  • We'll gladly service a system somebody else put up

Measured, not promised

The pool in our live charts is a Riverside County pool

Most companies tell you what solar pool heating should do. We publish what ours actually does, minute by minute, from a working installation right here in the county — same sun, same dry nights, same inland climate as your backyard.

Two unheated pools are logged right beside ours — one in full sun, one in shade — so every comparison is a measurement, not a model. No solar blanket and no pool cover on ours either: every degree in the charts came off the panels. Scroll back through past days, or download the raw data and check our arithmetic.

The inland problem

Hot afternoons. Cold mornings. Short season.

Nobody in Riverside County argues about whether we get enough sun. The trouble isn't the afternoon — it's everything on either side of it. Our air is dry and cools off hard after dark, so an open pool gives back overnight much of what the day handed it. That's why the water can feel uninviting at seven in the morning in July, in a valley where the patio is already too hot for bare feet.

The bigger gap is spring and fall, when the days are still long and bright enough to heat water and the air simply isn't doing it. An unheated pool here is comfortable from about early June to late September. With a properly sized system it's about mid-April to late October, and with a cover on at night, March into November. Watch it happen, or read how solar pool heating works.

Riverside County towns we cover

Our shop is here, and we cover the whole county. A few notes on what we see, town by town.

Riverside

Riverside has every kind of roof this trade sees: barrel tile, composition shingle, low-slope, and two-story homes with a long run down to the pool equipment. We install new systems and handle solar pool heater repair in Riverside all over the city, and when an array finally gives up, we'll tell you whether one panel or a full replacement is the right fix.

Temecula

Barrel tile and architectural committees in town, acreage and ground-mounted arrays in the wine country. We install, repair and replace panels across both.

Corona

Hillside lots and two-story homes can put some distance between the equipment pad and the panels. That's a design question, not a dealbreaker, and plumbing distance is already priced into our instant estimate. We cover Eastvale, Jurupa Valley and Norco too.

Murrieta and nearby towns

Newer homes, and a lot of solar still young enough to be under warranty. We also cover Canyon Lake, Lake Elsinore, Menifee, Wildomar and Winchester.

Moreno Valley and Perris

Plenty of good pools here have nothing heating them yet. Already have a system and want it checked before you spend money on it? Book an inspection.

Hemet, Banning and the mountain towns

We cover Aguanga, Banning, Beaumont, Calimesa, Hemet, Idyllwild and San Jacinto. On acreage, the panels can often go somewhere other than the roof.

Rural and wine-country properties

When the roof isn't the right answer

Two things stop a rooftop system: the roof faces the wrong way, or something shades it half the day. On a quarter-acre lot that's a hard stop. On acreage around Temecula, De Luz and Aguanga it rarely is — there's open land with better sun than the house has.

So we build the array on a rack framed to the pitch we want: full southern exposure however the house was sited, panels you can walk up to, no roof penetrations. Trenching the lines back to the equipment pad is ordinary work for our crew — racks on open land, hillside racks and trenched runs are all in the install gallery.

San Diego County

Fallbrook, Bonsall and Rainbow

We cover all three. The land here is a lot like rural Temecula: groves, slopes and acreage, where the sunniest spot often isn't the roof, so the panels often go on a rack in the yard.

Elsewhere in San Diego County, call and ask, and we'll tell you straight away whether we can get to you.

Riverside County questions

Faster here than anywhere else we work — the shop is in the county. Across the valley cities a same-day or next-day visit is often possible, and Idyllwild or Aguanga is still a single trip. Call (951) 276-8286 or send the repair request form and we'll tell you what day we can be there.

You don't have to take our word for it. We log our own Riverside County pool about once a minute and publish every reading on the live data page, beside two unheated pools measured the same way. The difference shows most in spring and fall, when an unheated pool is too cold to enjoy.

Often yes, and on the bigger properties around Temecula, De Luz and Aguanga it's frequently the better system. We build a rack pitched and aimed the right direction and trench the lines back to your equipment pad. Photos of real ones are in the gallery.

Beyond Riverside County we cover San Bernardino County, Orange County, the High Desert, Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley, the San Gabriel Valley, and Fallbrook, Bonsall and Rainbow in San Diego County. Every town we cover is listed on the service areas page.

Yes. Our online system designer works from satellite imagery of your own house — you place panels on your actual roof and it prices the system, plumbing distance included. A firm quote still follows a free on-site look.
