Gas Heater Repair
Gas heaters heat fast but wear over time. We diagnose ignition faults, pressure switches, burners, and heat exchangers, then repair the true cause so your heater fires reliably and brings your water up to temperature whenever you want to swim.
Heat Pump Installation
Heat pumps shine in Florida's climate, pulling warmth from the air efficiently. We install and configure units sized to your pool, giving you steady, economical heating that extends your season without the high running demands of older heating methods.
Heater Ignition Repair
An ignition fault leaves you with cold water and no swim. We troubleshoot igniters, sensors, gas valves, and controls, pinpointing why the heater will not light so we can restore dependable startup and consistent warmth to your pool.
Thermostat and Control Repair
When controls fail, your heater cannot hold temperature. We repair thermostats, control boards, and sensors so the system reads and regulates water accurately, keeping your pool at the setting you choose rather than swinging warm and cold.
Heater Sizing and Selection
An undersized heater struggles endlessly. We calculate the demand for your pool volume and goals, then recommend a properly sized gas heater or heat pump that reaches temperature efficiently and holds it without straining or wasting energy.
Heat Pump Repair
When a heat pump stops warming, comfort disappears. We service compressors, fans, refrigerant circuits, and controls, diagnosing the real issue and repairing it so your unit returns to drawing efficient heat and keeping your water comfortable again.

FAQ's
How long do pool heaters last?
Gas heaters often last around five to ten years, while heat pumps can run ten to twenty with good care. Regular service and correct water chemistry meaningfully extend the life of either type over time.
What is better, a gas heater or a heat pump?
Gas heats fast for occasional use, while heat pumps run efficiently for steady warmth in Florida's climate. With 40+ years of experience, Aqua Fresh Pool Service helps pool owners across Melbourne, Florida choose the right heater.
Why is my pool heater not heating?
Common causes include ignition faults, dirty filters restricting flow, low gas pressure, or failed sensors. We diagnose the true reason your heater will not warm the water, then repair it so comfortable swimming returns quickly.
How long does it take to heat a pool?
It varies with pool size, heater type, and starting temperature. Gas heaters warm water within hours, while heat pumps work more gradually. Proper sizing keeps warm up times reasonable so you are not left waiting endlessly.
What temperature should a pool be?
Most swimmers find the high seventies to low eighties comfortable. Florida caps public pool and spa heaters at 104 degrees for safety. We help you find and hold the setting that suits your household best.
Are pool heat pumps efficient in Florida?
Very. Heat pumps draw warmth from the surrounding air, and Florida's mild climate keeps them working efficiently for much of the year. That makes them a popular, economical choice for steady heating across our region.
Why does my heater keep shutting off?
Short cycling often stems from low water flow, a dirty filter, faulty sensors, or overheating protection tripping. We find why the heater keeps stopping, then correct the cause so it runs steadily and holds temperature.
Can I use my pool heater year round?
Yes. With Aqua Fresh Pool Service maintaining your system in Melbourne, Florida, a properly sized heater keeps your water comfortable in every season, letting you swim on cool mornings and through winter whenever the mood strikes you.
Choosing the Right Heater for Your Pool
Matching Heater to Pool Size
Size drives everything else. We look at your pool's volume before recommending anything, so the heater we suggest is powerful enough to warm your water efficiently rather than an undersized unit that struggles or an oversized one that costs more than your pool actually needs.
How You Use Your Pool
Your habits shape the right choice. Whether you swim daily, only on weekends, or want the pool ready on a moment's notice, we factor in how often and how quickly you want warm water, so the heater fits your real routine instead of a generic assumption.
Heat Pump Options
Heat pumps suit Florida beautifully. Because our climate stays mild, these units draw warmth from the air and heat efficiently for lower running costs, so we often guide owners toward them when steady, economical heating over the season is the main priority.
Gas Heater Options
Sometimes speed matters most. When you want your water warm fast or use the pool irregularly, a gas heater delivers quick heat on demand, so we recommend this route for owners who value rapid warm-up over the slower, steadier approach of a heat pump.
Balancing Cost and Efficiency
The cheapest unit is rarely the smartest. We weigh upfront price against long-term running costs, so the heater you choose makes sense for your budget both on the day of installation and across every energy bill it produces for years afterward.
Guidance You Can Trust
You should not navigate this alone. We walk you through the tradeoffs in plain terms, answer your questions, and recommend what genuinely fits your pool and budget, so a confusing purchase becomes a clear, confident decision rather than a guess you hope works out.
Keep Your Pool Warm Whenever You Swim
The difference between a three season pool and a year round one usually comes down to a single reliable heater. Pool heater repair and installation from Aqua Fresh Pool Service in Melbourne, Florida keeps your water warm and welcoming long after unheated pools have gone cold for the year. Beyond simple warmth, you gain efficient operation, quick warm up, and dependable performance from a system sized correctly for your pool. Whether your current heater needs a repair or you are ready for an efficient new heat pump, we will guide the right path. Reach out through our contact page or quote form, and we will help you make the most of every swimming day.
Why Choose Us
I Know Water
I spent my career as a U.S. Navy submariner, so water is something I've had a feel for my whole life. That instinct is what I bring to every pool I touch, and it's why I've built this business on knowing what's happening in your water before it becomes a problem.
Salt Systems Are My Specialty
Salt systems are what I know best, and most pool guys in Brevard treat them like an afterthought. I understand how the cells wear, how the chemistry drifts, and what actually keeps a salt pool running clean instead of just getting by until the next service call.
41 Years on This Water
I started in the pool industry in 1985, and I've spent those years working pools right here on the Space Coast. I know what our humidity, our sun, and our storm season do to a pool and to the equipment running it, because I've been dealing with it longer than most of my competition has been in business.
A Veteran and a Family Behind the Work
This is a veteran owned, family operated business, and my name is on every job. When you call, you get me. That's the whole reason my customers stay with me and tell their neighbors about us.
