A warm pool open and ready for guests every morning. Commercial pool heater repair in Long Beach for hotels, HOAs, gyms, and senior-living.
Cold pool water, ignition failures, error codes, and leaking heat exchangers are the heater problems that drive hotel refunds and HOA complaints. Adams Pool & Spa provides commercial pool heater repair in Long Beach for hotels, apartment complexes, HOAs, gyms, senior living facilities, and schools, with 24/7 emergency response and factory-trained service on Raypak, Pentair MasterTemp, Hayward H-Series, Jandy LXi, and Lochinvar units. Whether your heater is a natural gas commercial boiler, an electric unit, or a heat pump, we diagnose the fault, repair the component, and bring the water temperature back to code.
How Much Does Commercial Pool Heater Repair Cost in Long Beach?
Commercial pool heater repair in Long Beach typically runs $350 to $1,200 for ignition, pressure switch, gas valve, or control board work. Heat exchanger replacement or full heater swap on a Raypak or Pentair MasterTemp commercial unit usually falls between $2,500 and $7,500 depending on BTU size. We provide free on-site estimates.
Commercial heater pricing depends on BTU rating, fuel type, and whether the failure is a component or a core assembly. A Raypak 406A ignition module swap sits on the low end. A 2-million BTU Lochinvar with a cracked heat exchanger is on the high end. We break out parts and labor on every estimate so property managers can approve with confidence.
What Are the Signs Your Commercial Pool Heater Needs Repair?
Most commercial heater failures announce themselves before they shut the pool down. When one of these shows up, call before guests start complaining.
What Commercial Pool Heater Problems Do We Fix?

Gas, Electric, and Heat Pump Commercial Pool Heater Repair
Commercial facilities in Long Beach run three different heater categories, and each fails differently.
Natural gas and propane heaters. The workhorse of commercial pools. Fast recovery, high BTU output, and the lowest upfront cost. Most common failures are ignition components, pressure switches, and scale buildup in the heat exchanger. We service Raypak, Pentair MasterTemp, Hayward H-Series and Universal H-Series, Jandy LXi and JXi, and Lochinvar commercial boilers.
Heat pump pool heaters. More expensive to buy but much cheaper to run in Long Beach's mild coastal climate. Common failures include compressor issues, refrigerant charge loss, fan motor bearings, and control board faults. We service AquaCal, Pentair UltraTemp, and Hayward HeatPro commercial heat pumps.
Electric resistance heaters. Less common on commercial pools because of operating cost, but found on smaller therapy pools, spas, and backup systems. We repair element failures, contactor failures, and high-limit faults.
If you're weighing whether to repair an aging commercial gas heater or switch to a heat pump, read our gas vs electric pool heater guide for a cost comparison.
What Commercial Pool Heater Brands Do We Repair?
What Commercial Properties Do We Serve?
Title 24 Energy Code and Commercial Pool Heater Sizing
California Title 24 is the energy code that governs commercial pool heater efficiency, minimum thermal efficiency ratings, and pool cover requirements. It matters on three occasions: when you replace an old heater, when a heater is installed on a new-build commercial pool, and when a health department inspector asks for your documentation.
We size commercial pool heater BTU capacity based on pool surface area, average water temperature, wind exposure, and whether the pool is covered at night. Under-sizing is the most common mistake a property manager inherits from a prior contractor, and it shows up as a heater that runs 20 hours a day and still can't hold temperature. We measure before we recommend.
On a replacement, we'll quote a Title 24 compliant unit from Raypak, Pentair, Hayward, Jandy, or Lochinvar that fits the existing gas line and vent routing. We also flag when a pool cover or a thermal blanket would cut operating cost by 30 to 50 percent, because Title 24 credits properties that use one.
What Does 24/7 Emergency Commercial Pool Heater Service Look Like?
A commercial heater failure is a countdown. Guests complain within hours. Reviews follow within a day. Every night the pool is closed is a refund or a write-up.
Our emergency workflow: You call. An on-call tech answers, gets the heater make, model, BTU rating, and error code, and dispatches from Long Beach. We arrive with the most common commercial parts stocked on the truck: igniters, pressure switches, flame sensors, thermocouples, and control boards for the major brands. Most calls resolve same visit. When a heat exchanger or a gas valve has to be ordered, we give you a real timeline and handle warranty paperwork where it applies.
No other commercial pool repair company in Long Beach publishes a 24/7 commercial heater response commitment. We do.

FAQ Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a commercial pool heater last?
A commercial gas pool heater typically lasts 7 to 12 years. Heat pumps usually run 10 to 15 years. High-use pools at gyms, hotels, and apartment complexes tend to hit the shorter end because run time is long and Long Beach water chemistry is hard on heat exchangers.
How much does commercial pool heater repair cost in Long Beach?
Most commercial pool heater repairs in Long Beach run $350 to $1,200 for component-level work. Heat exchanger replacement typically runs $1,500 to $3,500. A full commercial heater replacement on a Raypak, Pentair, or Lochinvar unit is usually $4,000 to $12,000 installed, depending on BTU size and gas line work.
Why is my commercial pool heater not heating?
Common causes include a failed igniter, flame sensor, or pressure switch, a closed gas valve, a dirty or scaled heat exchanger, a failing thermostat, or a flow issue caused by a failing pump or a dirty filter. We diagnose before we replace anything.
Can you repair a Raypak commercial pool heater?
Yes. Raypak is the commercial gold standard and we service every commercial Raypak model, including the 106, 206, 266, 336, 406, and Hi Delta and XTherm commercial boilers. We stock common Raypak ignition and pressure switch parts.
Do you service heat pump pool heaters for commercial pools?
Yes. We service AquaCal, Pentair UltraTemp, and Hayward HeatPro commercial heat pumps. Heat pump service includes refrigerant diagnostics, compressor service, fan motor replacement, and control board repair.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency commercial pool heater repair in Long Beach?
Yes. Adams Pool & Spa offers 24/7 emergency commercial pool heater service throughout Long Beach and surrounding LA County. An on-call tech answers emergency calls directly.
Can you replace a commercial pool heater to meet Title 24?
Yes. We size, quote, and install Title 24 compliant commercial pool heaters from Raypak, Pentair, Hayward, Jandy, and Lochinvar. We can also recommend pool cover upgrades to reduce operating cost and improve code compliance.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace a commercial pool heater?
If the heater is under 8 years old and the failure is an ignition component, control board, or pressure switch, repair is cheaper. If the heat exchanger is leaking or the unit is 10 or more years old and is past 75 percent efficiency, replacement usually makes more sense.

Heater terms on commercial systems
Commercial heaters interact with the chemistry. Two terms behind every diagnostic.
- Heat pump
-
An electric pool heater that moves heat from the air into pool water. Lower operating cost than gas in mild Long Beach winters; longer warm-up time than gas.
- Alkalinity
-
Total alkalinity is the buffering capacity of pool water against pH swings. Held between 80 and 120 ppm, it stops chemistry from rising or falling on every dose.
