Pool Heater Not Heating in Shelter Valley, CA
A Shelter Valley pool showing a pool heater that will not heat usually has a short list of likely causes. No heat, short cycling, or an error code usually points to ignition, gas or airflow, or a scaled heat exchanger. Because Shelter Valley pools contend with extreme desert heat and very hard well water accelerating equipment failure, a technician here checks a slightly different list than one at the coast would. The pros we work with cover Shelter Valley and can usually get out within the week.
