Family owned, established 2007, based in Fort Myers. Call 239-933-1008.
Who repairs pool heaters in Estero?
Gold Coast Pools repairs gas, electric and heat pump pool heaters for homes and commercial pools in Estero. We are a family-owned team working out of Fort Myers, and Estero is part of the Lee County area we cover every week.
Here is how a repair visit works. You call and tell us what the heater is doing. We set a time to come out, look at the unit, and find the cause. Then we explain what we found and give you your options before any work begins, so there are no surprises. Read more about our pool heater repair service.
Signs your pool heater needs repair
Most heater problems give a warning before the unit quits. Call us if you notice any of these:
- The pool never gets up to the temperature you set.
- The heater will not start, or it starts and then shuts itself off.
- An error code shows on the display.
- The unit makes a grinding, rattling or humming noise it did not make before.
- Water is pooling around the base of the heater.
- The fan runs, but the water coming back to the pool is not warm.
Catching these early often keeps a small repair from turning into a full replacement.
Should I repair or replace my pool heater?
If the heater is in fair shape and the fix is reasonable, repair is usually the smart choice. When repairs keep stacking up, or the unit is near the end of its life, replacing it can cost less over time. We will tell you honestly which way we lean and why.
If you replace, the new unit will be a heat pump. You can pick a new Built Right heat pump with a full factory warranty, or a factory reconditioned Pentair or Built Right heat pump that costs up to 35% less than new.
Pool Heat Pump Installation in Estero
We install pool heat pumps only. We do not install gas or electric heaters, though we still repair them. Our team handles the whole job, from helping you choose a unit to setting it in place, connecting it, and starting it up so you know it is heating before we leave. See our pool heat pump installation page for details, or browse finished jobs in our photo gallery.
How is a pool heat pump sized for my pool?
A heat pump is sized to your pool, not picked off a shelf. We look at how many gallons the pool holds, its surface area, whether it has a spa, how much sun and wind it gets, and how warm you want the water. A unit that is too small runs all day and still falls short. One that is the right size heats steadily and runs more efficiently. Our pool heating page covers more on how sizing works.
What is the difference between a pool heater and a pool heat pump?
A gas or electric pool heater makes heat by burning fuel or running power through a heating element. A pool heat pump does not make heat. It pulls warmth that is already in the outside air and moves it into the pool water. Because it moves heat instead of creating it, a heat pump uses much less energy to run. That is why it fits Southwest Florida so well, where the air stays warm for most of the year.
Pool Heat Pumps in Estero: New or Reconditioned
Every heat pump we install is either brand new or factory reconditioned. Both are good options. The right one depends on your budget and how long a warranty you want.
New Built Right pool heat pumps
Built Right heat pumps are made in Florida, and service is handled from Punta Gorda, close to home. They are sold only through licensed pool professionals. Key features include:
- A titanium heat exchanger that stands up to pool chemicals

Each new Built Right heat pump comes with 5 years of parts and 5 years of labor coverage. The warranty form must be sent in within 30 days, and the unit must be installed by a licensed pro. See our warranty page for full terms.
Are factory reconditioned pool heat pumps worth it?
Yes, for many Estero pool owners they are. A factory reconditioned heat pump costs up to 35% less than a new one and still delivers strong performance. We offer reconditioned Pentair and Built Right heat pumps from $2,999 installed, with no deposit.
Each one includes a 3-year warranty: parts and labor in year one, and labor in years two and three. These units feature a COP of 5.7 or higher, a titanium heat exchanger, digital controls and a scroll compressor. Learn the details on our factory reconditioned pool heaters page.
