Once a year
A yearly look at your pool heating system catches the small problems that turn into a cold pool. Call 866-412-4218 to schedule.
Call 866-412-4218Solar pool heating is simple equipment, and that is part of why people forget about it. It sits on the roof, it runs with the pool pump, and for long stretches it just works. The trouble is that the wear happens slowly and out of sight. A clamp loosens. A tube develops a pinhole. A sensor drifts. By the time anyone notices, there is water on the roof or the pool has gone cold, and a lot of systems get shut off right there.
An annual inspection is how you avoid that. We look at the whole system once a year, fix the small stuff while it is still small, and tell you what to keep an eye on.
A solar pool heater inspection from AllSolar Energy covers the parts that tend to cause trouble:
We also clean the panels and can replace worn small parts during the same visit, and we explain anything bigger before doing it.
If your solar pool heater was installed by a company that is gone, an inspection is the easiest first step. AllSolar Energy looks at systems from any brand and any installer, and we have served more than 18,000 customers across 17 Florida counties since 1999.
Request ServiceIn Florida, pool heating systems run all year, so there is no special season for a checkup. Pick a date and stick with it, about twelve months apart. If you already see a problem, do not wait for that date. A small leak is easier and less costly to fix now than after it has run for months.
A lot of the pool heaters we inspect were put in by another company, sometimes one that is no longer in business. That is fine. We work on any brand, and if your installer is gone we can take over the system and become the company you call from then on.
We keep a record of what we find each year, so over time you get a real history of your system instead of a guess. That record also helps when you are deciding whether a worn panel should be replaced or can wait another season.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Watch for water running off the panels, a pool that needs more water than usual, a solar valve that never seems to change position, or a pool that stays cool on sunny days when it used to warm up. If you notice any of those, give us a call rather than waiting for the next inspection.
Once a year is a sensible schedule for most homes. Call sooner if you notice a leak or weak heat.
We check the collectors, headers, mounts and straps, roof plumbing and penetrations, the solar valve and actuator, the controller and sensors, and the pump and filter. We also clean the panels and can replace small worn parts during the visit.
They need less than many pool heaters, but they are not maintenance free. The plastic parts and fittings wear over time in the sun and in chlorinated water, so a yearly look helps catch problems early.
Yes. We inspect and service solar pool heating from any brand and any installer.
Some AllSolar Cares plans include an annual onsite inspection. See allsolarcares.com/plans for the current details. You never need a membership to schedule an inspection.
A service request from your Solar Home already carries your address, your equipment and your history, so you are not describing your system from memory on the phone. Free to create, and you never need a membership to request service.
Free to read first, no account needed: what you can safely check yourself before calling anyone, what a diagnostic visit involves, and what to have ready.
