  • Investing in a solar pool heating system is a smart choice for pool owners in Northern California. Here’s why:

    • Extended Swim Season: Solar heating can extend your swimming season by approximately one month on each end, allowing you to enjoy your pool from early spring to late fall.

    • Consistent Temperature Boost: These systems provide a steady increase in water temperature throughout the season, typically raising pool temperatures by 10-15°F.

    • Cost-Effective: While there is an initial installation cost, solar heating systems have minimal ongoing expenses since they rely on free solar energy. This makes them far more economical than gas or electric heaters over time.

    • Eco-Friendly: Solar systems reduce reliance on fossil fuels, lowering your carbon footprint while heating your pool in an environmentally responsible way.

    • Flexible Installation Options: Solar panels can be installed on your roof or on ground-mounted racks, making them adaptable to various property layouts and maximizing sunlight exposure.

  • Even reliable solar systems may require occasional maintenance or upgrades. We offer:

    • Leak Repairs: Address leaks in tubes, panels, or plumbing joints to restore system efficiency.

    • Panel Replacement: Replace damaged or outdated panels to ensure optimal performance.

    • System Efficiency Checks: Evaluate your system’s performance and recommend upgrades or adjustments to improve heating efficiency.

    • Plumbing Repairs and Valve Replacement: Fix issues with pipes, valves, or other components that may affect water circulation.

  • Proper seasonal maintenance ensures your solar pool heating system remains functional and protected year-round.

    Solar Close (Winterization): At the end of the swim season, we:

    • Deactivate the system and drain all water from the collectors and piping to prevent freezing damage.

    • Remove any programming related to solar heating.

    • Inspect the system for necessary repairs before winter storage.

    Solar Open (Spring Activation) - At the start of the swim season, we:

    • Reinstall drain plugs and reactivate the system.

    • Adjust pump schedules to optimize energy efficiency during peak swimming months.

    • Conduct a thorough inspection to confirm proper operation.
