Heating Built for Your Pool

A Florida pool sees plenty of use when it's hot out, but the cooler evenings and winter months are a different story. A heater stretches your season so the pool stays usable when the temperature drops, and the right one comes down to your pool's size, how you use it, and what you want to spend running it.

The first choice is the type. Gas heaters warm a pool quickly and work in any weather, making them a good fit if you only heat the pool now and then. Heat pumps cost less to run but heat slowly and pull warmth from the air, so they suit pools you keep warm through the season. We'll also factor in your existing equipment, then walk you through the tradeoff before you decide.

Once you've picked a unit, we handle the install. We put in gas heaters, heat pumps, and electric systems for both residential and commercial pools. Each type connects a little differently, whether that's a gas line, an electrical connection, or a plumbing run, and we take care of that part so it passes inspection. Whatever you go with, we set it up so it runs the way it should from day one.

Our Pool Heater Installation Process:

Here's how a heater install goes from start to finish. Each step keeps you in the loop, so the heater goes in right and you know how to run it once we leave. The whole thing is built so nothing gets rushed or skipped.

Detailed Site Inspection

We start by checking your pool's layout, plumbing, and electrical connections to see what the new heater needs to tie into. Pool size, where the equipment sits, and how you want to heat the water all factor into which unit we recommend. If anything on the pad needs to change to fit the new heater, we flag it before the work starts so there are no surprises.

Professional Installation

Our licensed technicians handle the install itself, setting the unit in place and making the gas, electrical, or plumbing connections. It goes in safe, calibrated, and ready to run. Because the connection work is done to code, the install passes inspection and runs the way the manufacturer intended.

System Testing and Guidance

With the heater connected, we run it through testing, checking for leaks, safe operation, and that it's heating the way it should. Then we walk you through the controls so you can run it yourself. We'll cover how to set the temperature and what's normal once it's running, so you're not guessing the first cold night.

Ongoing Support

We don't disappear once the heater's in. If you need maintenance or run into trouble down the line, we're around to help. You've got the same crew that did the install, so you're not starting over with someone who doesn't know your setup.

Whether it's a single home pool or a larger commercial system, the process works the same way.

Why homeowners trust WTR DR

A heater is a real investment, so it's worth knowing who's installing it. Here's what you can count on with WTR DR.

Tampa-Area Experience

We install heaters across the Tampa area all year, so we know what holds up in Florida heat, humidity, and salt systems. That shows up in the units we recommend and how we set them up. The same goes for placement, since shade, screen enclosures, and salt exposure all factor into where a unit runs best.

Energy-Efficient Solutions

Pool heaters can be a significant investment, but with the right selection, you can achieve long-term energy savings. At WTR DR, we prioritize energy-efficient models that balance performance with cost savings. Our technicians will help you choose a system that fits both your heating needs and budget.

Backed by a Warranty

Every install includes the manufacturer's warranty on the unit, plus our own workmanship coverage for the install. If something isn't right with the install, we come back and make it right. We'll explain what each warranty covers when we hand off, so you know who to call if anything comes up.

Straightforward Pricing

You get a written quote before any work starts, with the cost laid out so you know what you're paying for. The quote is free, and we go over it with you so there's nothing unexpected later.

Energy-Efficient Options

Some heaters cost a lot more to run than others. We'll walk you through the efficient models and how they compare, so you can weigh it against the upfront price and pick what fits. There's no single right answer here, it depends on how often you heat the pool.

What They Say

“I recently switched to WTR DR from a big box service. Significantly better pricing and significantly more attention to detail. Service is top notch and very thorough EVERY service, not just once or twice a month. Sean also re-plumbed all my external piping and replaced a very old filter. It looks AMAZING!..”

I recently added pool service with Sean @ WTR DR and couldn't be happier with the service. Sean is responsive, shows up when he says he going to, and does quality work at a fair price. Below is a picture of my pool that Sean acid washed for me. I didnt realize what a difference it would make, but it looks amazing. Highly recommend Sean and the WTR Dr for all your pool needs.

Sean from WTR DR has proven to be dependable, professional and hard working. We turned to WTR DR after being “ghosted” by 2 other companies since the hurricanes late last year… my pool looked like a black lagoon. Sean explained what had to be done, quoted a better price than others and got the work done. I’d say he went above and beyond getting our pool back into shape. I’d recommend Sean and WTR DR for any of your pool service needs.

I can’t say enough good things about WTR DR! ! I was in a bind with guests coming over and my pool looking far from ready. I called last minute, and they showed up quickly, fully prepared, and got straight to work. In no time, my pool was crystal clear. The team was professional, efficient, and friendly. I truly appreciate their prompt response and high-quality service—lifesavers! I’ll definitely be using them again. Highly recommend!

“I switched to WTR DR due to the professionalism of the organization and their knowledgeable and friendly team. During their very first visit they diagnosed the source of my algae and elevated salt issues that had been an issue for almost a year. They quickly fixed both issues and my pool is crystal clear as it should be!!”
