Services
Solar pool heating services in Southern California
Install it, repair it, replace it, pull it off for a reroof, or tell you straight what shape it's in — our own crew doing all of it since 1981, across Riverside, Orange, and San Bernardino counties.
Each of those has its own page: installation, leak and no-heat repair, warranty panel replacement, removal and reinstallation for roof work, and system inspection. Whatever brand is on your roof and whoever put it there, we'll work on it — anywhere in our Southern California service area.
New system
Solar pool heater installation
A system designed for your roof and your pool — panel area equal to about 80% of the pool's surface, mounted, plumbed, and tuned by our own crew in one to two days. No gas line, no monthly bill: your existing pump sends water through the panels and the sun does the heating.
Most Southern California installations run $5,000–$10,000 depending on pool size and roof layout, and the quote is firm after a free on-site design visit. You can also lay out a system on your own roof online and see the price before anyone comes out. Want to pay over time? Ask us about financing — call (951) 276-8286.
- 12-year panel warranty, 1-year full warranty on our work
- Automatic control set to the temperature you pick
- Exposed plumbing painted to match the house
Leaks and no-heat calls
Solar pool heater repair
Dripping panels, wet roof tiles, a pool that won't warm up — tell us what you're seeing and we'll track it to the source, on the roof and at the equipment pad. Most repairs are done the same visit, and we test the fix before we leave.
We work on every part of the system — panels, plumbing, valves, controls, and mounting hardware — on any solar pool heater, whether we installed it or not.
- Leak detection and repair, panels and plumbing
- Valve, vacuum-relief, and automation problems
- Systems installed by others — welcome
Warranty work
Solar pool panel replacement
Our panels, like most other leading brands, carry a full 12-year manufacturer's warranty. If one fails inside that window the panel is covered, and we handle it for you — the inspection, the claim paperwork, a like-for-like swap, and a full system test before we leave.
Past warranty? You get a straight answer. Panels last 12–20 years, so sometimes one new panel is right — and sometimes the honest math says new system. We'll walk you through both numbers.
- Warranty inspection and claim paperwork, handled
- Like-for-like swap and a full system test
- 1-year warranty on the replacement work we do
Roof replacements and remodels
Solar pool panel removal for a roof replacement
Getting a new roof? We pull the panels before the roofer starts, cap the plumbing, and label and store every piece — then put it all back to spec and pressure-test the system once the new roof is on. Re-roofing, a remodel, or new equipment under the array: any brand, whoever installed it.
We schedule around your roofer's timeline, not the other way around, and we'll coordinate with them directly if you want us to.
- Careful removal and plumbing capping
- Labeled storage — everything goes back where it came from
- Reinstallation with a full pressure test
Checkups and pre-purchase
Solar pool system inspection
Buying a home with solar on the roof, or wondering about an aging system? We check panels, plumbing, valves, mounting hardware, and controls, then hand you a plain-language report — what's healthy, what to watch, and what needs attention now.
No sales pitch attached. The report stands on its own, and you decide what happens next.
- Every component, roof to equipment pad
- A written report in plain language
- Pre-purchase inspections welcome
Not sure?
Match what you're seeing to the right service
- No system up there yet — or the pool is never warm enough to use. Start with installation.
- Water dripping off the roof or spraying from a panel while the pump runs. That's a repair call.
- A split or blistered panel on a system under 12 years old. Likely a warranty replacement — we handle the claim.
- A roofer is coming and the panels are in the way. Book a removal & reinstall around their schedule.
- Buying or selling the house, or it's been years since anyone looked at the system. Get an inspection and a plain-language report.
Still not sure? Call (951) 276-8286 and describe what you're seeing — that's usually enough. Advice is free.

FAQ
Questions about choosing a service
Yes — four of the five services on this page apply to a system we didn't install: repair, warranty panel replacement, removal and reinstallation for roof work, and inspection. Servicing other people's systems is a large share of our work and always has been. If you inherited a system with the house and don't know what you've got, start with an inspection and a written report.
Start with what you can see. Water dripping off the roof, a valve that won't switch, or a controller that isn't calling for heat is a pool solar repair. A split or blistered panel on a system under 12 years old is usually a warranty replacement. Panels are 12–20 year parts, so on an older array a single new panel can be good money after bad — that's when we price a new system beside the repair and let you compare the two. If you'd rather not guess, an inspection settles it. Each service page goes deeper, and our general FAQ covers cost, payback, and how the system works.
We handle it. We inspect the panel, put the claim paperwork together with the manufacturer, swap in a like-for-like panel, and test the system before we leave — you're not chasing anyone by phone. Panels carry a 12-year manufacturer warranty and our own work carries a 1-year warranty; the details are on the replacement page and our warranty page.
Yes. The panels, plumbing, and mounting hardware all sit on the surface the roofer is replacing, so the array comes down first and goes back up after. We cap the plumbing, label and store every piece, reinstall to spec, and pressure-test the whole system — scheduled around your roofer's timeline. If the panels are already near the end of their life, that's the natural moment to replace them rather than pay for roof access twice. Full details on removal and reinstallation.
If you already know what's wrong — a visible leak, a dead valve — go straight to a repair and save yourself a step. An inspection is for when you don't: buying a house with panels already on the roof, taking over a system nobody has looked at in years, or deciding whether an aging array is worth keeping. You get a written report in plain language covering panels, plumbing, valves, mounting hardware, and controls, and no sales pitch attached to it.
It depends which service. A design visit for a quote is usually on the calendar within a few days of your call. Most repairs are finished in one visit, and a new installation takes one to two days once it's scheduled. If water is spraying off the roof right now, turn the valve to bypass the roof or shut the pump off before you call — that stops the damage while you wait. We cover our whole service area with our own crew.
