Irving Pool Builders provides professional pool heaters & heat pumps in Irving, TX for residential and commercial properties across the Las Colinas and mid-cities area. A pool heater is the difference between a pool you use from June to August and one you use from March to November. On a new build it's the cheapest big upgrade to include, because the pad is already open and the gas line is still a trench rather than a driveway you'd have to cut. Two technologies with genuinely different personalities. Gas is fast. A 400,000 BTU unit will move a 20,000-gallon pool a few degrees an hour and take a spa to 102 in under half an hour, and you pay for that speed at the meter. An electric heat pump doesn't create heat, it moves it out of the air, which makes it three to five times cheaper to run and considerably slower, usually most of a day to warm a pool. It also falls off badly once ambient air drops below roughly 50 degrees, so in Irving a heat pump is excellent from March through November and largely decorative in January. Plenty of our clients end up with a heat pump on the pool and gas on the spa, which is the best of both and the setup we design into most new builds. Sizing is done off surface area and target temperature rise, not gallons. A wide shallow pool loses heat across the top far faster than a small deep one holding the same water, which is why the tanning ledge you love is also the reason your heater works harder. Gas line sizing matters just as much as the heater. Hanging a 400,000 BTU unit on a half-inch line that already feeds a range and a tankless water heater gets you a heater that short-cycles and an owner who thinks it's broken. We run the load calculation and, more often than not, a new line from the meter. When a heater fails it's usually one of three things. A heat exchanger scaled shut by our hard water, which is a chemistry problem wearing a mechanical costume, and the reason we keep calcium hardness and pH in range on heated pools. A failed ignition control board. Or a pressure switch cutting out because flow is low, which is really a dirty filter in disguise. We diagnose first and quote parts second, and we'll tell you when a fifteen-year-old unit is worth a board and when it's throwing good money after bad. On salt pools, specify a cupro-nickel exchanger rather than plain copper. The cheapest heater in the world is a solar blanket. It cuts evaporation, holds a few degrees overnight and costs a rounding error against gas. And the honest one: if you genuinely only swim in July and August, don't buy a heater at all. The pool is already sitting at 88 degrees and what you actually want is shade.

Materials, equipment and how we do pool heaters & heat pumps
The difference between pool heaters & heat pumps that lasts and pool heaters & heat pumps that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with gunite and shotcrete shells, one-piece fiberglass pool shells, PebbleTec and polished quartz interiors, glass mosaic and large-format porcelain tile, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Irving job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of pool work in the Las Colinas and mid-cities area means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
