Is It Time to Replace Your Pool Heater?
You should replace your pool heat pump when:
- It’s 10–12+ years old and facing a $1,000+ repair
- You’ve had two or more repairs in the past two years
- The compressor or heat exchanger has failed
- It’s running constantly but can’t hold temperature
- It’s undersized for your pool
You should replace your gas pool heater when:
- It’s 8+ years old with a failing heat exchanger or gas valve
- Repair costs are approaching 50% of replacement cost
- You’re tired of $200–$400/month in operating costs
- Parts are discontinued or unavailable
Consider switching from gas to heat pump if:
- Your gas heater is at end of life and you want long-term savings
- You’re spending $200–$400/month on gas heating
- You want full year-round temperature control — heating and cooling
Every day without a working heater is a day out of your pool.

Pool Heater Replacement Cost in Florida
Cost Component | Typical Range |
|---|---|
Heat pump unit | $2,500–$6,500 |
Installation labor | $500–$1,200 |
Electrical (if needed) | $0–$1,500 |
Old unit removal | $0–$250 |
Permitting fees | $150–$400 |
Total all-in | $3,500–$9,000 |
What affects your total:
Pool size and required BTU, existing electrical service capacity, distance from panel to equipment pad, pad condition, and unit brand and model.
One thing to know about electrical:
Most heat pumps require a dedicated 208–230V, 40–60 amp circuit. If that’s already at your equipment pad, replacement is straightforward. If new wiring is needed, that’s typically the biggest variable. We’ll explain what your situation requires upfront.
How much is a service call?
Basic diagnostic visits in Florida typically run $100–$250.

Switching From Gas to a Heat Pump?
For a typical 15,000-gallon Florida pool:
| Gas Heater | Heat Pump | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly operating cost | $200–$400 | $50–$100 |
| Annual cost | $2,400–$4,800 | $600–$1,200 |
| Lifespan | 5–8 years | 10–15 years |
| Florida fit | Good | Excellent |
At a fraction of the cost of gas, that’s up to $3,600 saved every year with a heat pump. Over 10 years, that’s as much as $36,000 back in your pocket.
Florida advantage:
Florida’s climate makes heat pumps the best long-term choice. With year-round temperatures averaging 65°F+, your heat pump runs at peak efficiency every month — quietly and reliably.
Full year-round temperature control:
Select models like the Oasis Platinum Ultra Quiet heat and cool your pool, keeping it comfortable all year long.
When gas still makes sense:
Spas needing rapid heat-up, vacation rentals with infrequent use, or Panhandle properties where winter temps regularly hit the 40s.
You've already done the research. You know replacement is the right move.
The next step takes 60 seconds — tell us about your pool and we’ll handle the rest.

La señora Blanca Sanchez es lo mejor que tienen en su compañía, la verdad que es súper amable, atenta en fin es la mejor gracias por ponerla a ella a prestar este servicio
I have a large pool 20 x 36 and Jacuzzi. Last year after consulting with Medallion I went with an Oasis Heat Pump to heat my pool. I can not say enough of how happy I am with the Company and with the Pool Heater. Great service and tech's on the installation and the heater works tremendously. This week, the first week of January, I turned on the heater and within 2 days raised my pool temperature from 62 degrees to 88 degrees. Excellent product and service. Highly recommend Medallion and the Oasis Heat Pump.
I recently called Medallion Energy to have a technician inspect my 10-year-old failed heat pump and provide an estimate for repairs. The initial quote for about $1,000 in parts and labor seemed reasonable, but what impressed me most was how the tech went above and beyond. Instead of just fixing the immediate issue, he continued to thoroughly check the entire system and discovered that the compressor was making noises indicating an impending failure—which would have led to a much more expensive breakdown later. They could have easily taken the $1,000 job and said nothing, but they chose honesty and transparency.The team walked me through several options, including a full unit replacement, and explained everything clearly. They were genuinely understanding, empathetic, and patient while discussing solutions with my wife and me. They even negotiated an outstanding deal that saved us significantly compared to what I'd researched on Google for similar heat pumps. The installation was flawless—they removed the old unit and professionally installed the new one in just one day. Afterward, they took the time to sit with us, walk through the controls, and show us how to customize the temperature settings for the pool and spa separately. My wife and I are absolutely thrilled with the care, professionalism, and support we received from Jim and Brandon. This level of honesty, expertise, and customer-focused service is rare these days. Medallion Energy truly stands out—thank you for making what could have been a stressful experience so positive! If you're dealing with pool/spa heating issues, look no further. Medallion Energy gets my highest recommendation!
Excellent company and service!
Thermostat not working on my pool heat pump...called customer service...the service was exceptional...friendly and very responsive..Entire team, Ricky, Shelley, Tiffany, Denise excellent. Denise walked me through a possible fix and it worked. Thank You.
The team was a great help. Helped me to get my heater working as well as walking me through the process after hours thanks again!!
Total scam. I put in a request through Aqua Comfort. These guys called. Ricky walked me through what he thought was issue over the phone. My heat pump actually was working when I turned on for him. I ordered parts anyway $425 just in case it was a fluke it was working but still happened again. Parts came I decided to return parts as my pump was still working fine. I decided to look them up in case I ever needed them. They charged me $234 for a $30 part and $174 for a $7 part. I called this morning to return. He forgot to tell me when I ordered that on the Docusign you to sign after you pay there are no returns or refunds. I would have been happy to paid some thing for the time on the phone with me taking my pump apart myself. But a 10x plus over charge is ridiculous.
Everyone was extremely professional and very helpful in getting our pool heater back up and running. Great team with expert skills that was able to pinpoint the problem & give us serval options on how to resolve. Cannot thank Jim, Tiffany, & the rest of the team at Medallion enough!
Dear Medallion Energy Team, I wanted to extend my sincere thanks and appreciation for the exceptional service you provided. You went above and beyond to resolve my issue, and your dedication, professionalism, and willingness to help did not go unnoticed. It’s rare these days to find a company so committed to customer satisfaction, and I am truly grateful for the way you handled everything. You’ve earned my trust and my highest recommendation. With heartfelt thanks, Robert Guadagnoli ⸻ Let me know if you’d like to add any specific names or details.
Called Medallion’s main office in FL (from Virginia), unsure if they’d be able to help me many states away. I received a prompt call back and Denise helped me (I’m sure it was obvious I’m a pool heater neophyte) attempt to diagnose my problems over the phone. Once we established on-site work/review would be needed, Denise provided me with a local service partner’s contact info. I called the service provider and they came same day. I’m very impressed with their kindness, service and nationwide network. Highly recommend.
I had a great experience with help from Medallion Energy. They helped me obtain and install a new motherboard for my pool pump heater which I could never have done on my own. Denise talked me through it on the phone while I was literally inside the machine and she was extremely patient, friendly and helpful and all of the communications were clear and helpful and the new system lasted a long time!
I have had multiple excellent experiences when contacting Medallion Energy for my pool heater. Jim and Shelley have always been both gracious, patient, resourceful and knowledgeable about my problem. I always feel confident that they will have the solution and they always have one. Thank you both for all of your help. You define great customer service.
Had an issue with my heater; pool company said I needed a new motherboard. Thanks to Denise at Medallion Energy was able to walk us through a fix! Thank you Denise!
Tiffany was amazing! Totally floored by her exceptional service. Saved me a ton of money with her support, patience and expertise.
I called them to ask what needed to be done to fix the HP3 error that constantly happened on my pool heat pump. Two days later I got the response that I needed a new pressure sensor. They took my information and told me that they will test and calibrate the sensor prior to shipping, once I paid for it online, Just a few days later, the sensor arrived, with full instructions. The repair was easy, provided that you have two people, one to hold the heat pump cover up, the other to do the actual work. The fact that I was actually able to make the repair myself instead of being required to hire a "Swimming Pool Professional" was a pleasing and rewarding experience.
Working with Medallion Energy was a great experience. After 12 years our heater quit heating the water. When I called the number I had for the Heater Manufacturer I was connected to Denise at Medallion Energy. I explained what was and wasn't happening and she was able to diagnose my problem and made the necessary recommendations. When the parts arrived, I called and set an appointment with them. It was very reassuring to have someone so patient and knowledgeable on the phone when doing the repair. Denise and Jim helped me get the parts changed out correctly and warned me of all the little things to watch out for on the job. It was easy and worked. It is very nice to get help. Better yet, they answer their phones and return calls. They are a real pleasure to do business with and I highly recommend them.
I have been a Medallion Energy Customer for a number of years. They have always been courteous and professional in my dealings with them. They are very friendly and care about the customer needs. I recently had a pool heater replaced. Medallion worked with me to deliver and install the new heater and haul away the old one. The pricing was great! The technician that did the install was super. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. The whole process could not have gone any better. The heater has been operating at peak efficiency and is quieter. I highly recommend Medallion Energy.
My heat pump had suddenly stopped working, the pool was installed about 3 years ago. I called the installer, they came out and looked, then I got a call from an Authorized repair tech, who gave me a quote that gave me sticker shock. So off to Google I go looking for a replacement fan motor and found Medallion Energy. I called up and talked to Denise, she was awesome, helped to diagnose and confirm the problem. Was very confident I would be able to perform the repairs. I placed my order. The next day Denise called me and told me that they information they had for my model heat pump was not clear on which motor was needed. (this was greatly appreciated, I'm an auto tech and have gotten wrong parts so many times.It was very refreshing that Denise and Medallion cared enough to ensure I was getting the correct part the first time) She gave me her cell number and I sent her a picture of the numbers on the motor. She got it sent out to me quickly. Then when I went to replace the motor I had a concern, sent Denise a text on Saturday evening and she replied immediately! And then sent me a text on Sunday morning to follow up! I was blow away with her customer service on off hours like that. Any further needs I know who I will be calling first, Medallion!
It was the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and I had been trying in vain to get our pool up to the desired temperature and our family was arriving the next day from a cold and rainy climate. Tiffany had been a big help once before when I had an issue with the automation, but given the holiday, owner Jim Diroff had given his staff an early day and I was in a panic because nothing seemed to work. Tiffany didn’t leave me hanging. Owner Jim texted me and said he had heard from Tiffany and felt he knew what my problem was and to call his cell. I did and well, he was right, after asking me for some photos of our piping and valves, he quickly diagnosed and guided me to a fix. Within hours, our very large pool was on its way to a toasty 87 degrees, right where our family likes it. He and Tiffany saved our holiday, we will be forever grateful. Thank you Tiffany and Jim, you and your Medallion Energy team are the best! Charles in Miami
Medallion Energy is amazing! Denise Diroff, one of the owners of the company, takes tremendous pride in Medallion's reputation and came to my rescue when I had an issue with my pool heater. I would recommend this company to anyone in need of their services.
Jim & Denise were most helpful in getting my heat pump up and running. My initial call to Medallion Energy was simply and inquiry about my faulty unit. Before long, the correct parts were in the mail. Jim provides awesome customer support once the part arrived, explaining not only what needs to be done but also why which will give you a better understanding of the unit you are fixing. A much deserved 5-star review to Medallion Energy!!! Thanks Jim & Denise:)
I needed pool heater parts as my heater was not properly working. When I called Medallion, I was immediately helped by Shelly helped me troubleshoot the likely cause over the phone. Ordered the inexpensive parts and they did not work but turns out they needed to be replaced years ago so i was happy to replace them. When I called back, Shelly got Jim involved and he spent 1 hour on the phone with me diagnosing the parts needed and he was spot on. Parts arrived in a couple of days and the heater now works. I could not believe that they would take this much time with me and walk me through the procedures step by step saving me a few thousand dollars. This is my pool heater company for life....as good a job at service as i have seen! Thanks Jim and Shelly. I will be in touch when the need arises again.
I live in VA and have had a couple of minor issues with my 12-year old Aqua Comfort pool heat pump. All I need to do is pick up the phone and the staff at Medallion Energy diagnose the problem and ship me the parts I need. They are all fantastic, knowledgeable, and bend over backwards every single time. Even Though I’m hundreds of miles away!! Be patient with them as they are well worth the wait.
Jim and Denise were extremely helpful when a chipmunk decided to nest in our heater causing a small electrical fire. Denise asked us to text pictures and Jim was able to tell us exactly what parts we needed. Then in an effort to save our labor day weekend they worked feverishly to overnight us the parts. Unfortunately, the post office had computer issues and the parts didn't get here until Tuesday. But as soon as the parts arrived Jim made himself available after hours to walk my husband through the repair. Jim's knowledge of our heater was so impressive, the repair went seamlessly and the heater is working great. We have been able to enjoy the pool the last couple of weekends thanks to Jim and Denise. I also could not believe how extremely friendly they both were, has to be the best customer service I've ever had. Thank you again Jim!

FAQs
How much does pool heater replacement cost in Florida?
Replacement typically runs $3,500–$9,000, covering the unit, labor, permitting, and any electrical work needed. The biggest variables are pool size, required BTU output, and whether your electrical service needs upgrading. You’ll always get a written estimate before we start.
Is it worth replacing a pool heater?
It depends on age and repair cost. If your heat pump is 10+ years old or facing a $1,000+ repair, replacement usually wins financially. If it’s under 8 years old with a single component failure, repair likely makes more sense. [See our pool heater repair services →]
How many years should a pool heater last?
Heat pumps typically last 10–15 years in Florida with proper maintenance. Gas heaters last 5–8 years. Florida’s year-round pool season means heaters work harder than in seasonal climates, which affects lifespan. Regular annual maintenance extends life significantly.
What causes a pool heater to fail?
The most common causes are restricted water flow (dirty filters, closed valves), electrical component failures (capacitors, control boards), refrigerant issues in heat pumps, and igniter or heat exchanger problems in gas heaters. When multiple components fail in a short period, that’s usually a sign the unit has reached end of life.
Can I replace my pool heater myself?
The electrical hookup requires a licensed electrician — heat pumps need a dedicated 220V/50-amp circuit. Refrigerant handling requires EPA 608 certification by law. DIY replacement also voids most manufacturer warranties. Professional installation protects your investment from day one.
How much is a pool heater for a 20,000-gallon pool?
For a 20,000-gallon pool in Florida, plan on a 90,000–110,000 BTU heat pump — typically $3,000–$5,500 for the unit itself. All-in with labor, permits, and electrical, budget $5,500–$8,000 depending on your site conditions. We size every replacement before recommending anything.
What size heat pump do I need?
Pool size is the starting point. Pools up to 15,000 gallons need 50,000–75,000 BTU; 15,000–25,000 gallons need 75,000–110,000 BTU; 25,000–35,000 gallons need 110,000–140,000 BTU. Beyond pool size, key factors include pool cover use, wind exposure, screened enclosure, and attached spa. We calculate the exact requirement before anything is ordered.
Is a heat pump better than a gas heater for Florida?
For most Florida pool owners, yes. Florida’s warm climate keeps heat pumps running efficiently year-round at $50–$100/month vs. $200–$400+ for gas. Heat pumps also last significantly longer. Gas makes sense for spas needing rapid heat-up, vacation rentals with infrequent use, or Panhandle properties where winter temps regularly drop into the 40s.
Is a heat pump or gas heater better for Florida?
For most Florida pool owners, a heat pump is the better long-term choice. Florida’s warm climate keeps heat pumps running efficiently year-round, with operating costs of $50–$100/month vs. $200–$400+ for gas. Heat pumps also last significantly longer. Gas makes sense for spas needing rapid heat-up, vacation rentals with infrequent use, or Panhandle properties where winter temps regularly drop into the 40s.
How long does pool heater replacement take?
Most residential replacements are completed in one day once permits are approved. Permitting typically takes 3–7 business days depending on your county.
Do I need a permit to replace a pool heater in Florida?
Yes. Electrical and plumbing modifications require permits under Florida building codes. We handle the permitting process as part of the replacement — you don’t deal with the county paperwork.
Do you replace customer-supplied units?
Yes. If you’ve already purchased a heat pump, we’ll install it. We confirm the unit is correctly sized for your pool before installation day.
What warranty comes with a replacement?
The unit carries the manufacturer’s warranty — typically 1–5 years depending on brand and model. Our installation labor is covered by our workmanship warranty of up to 90 days. If something isn’t right with how we installed it, we come back and fix it.
Your pool should be warm and comfortable.
