New Orleans Pool Builders provides professional pool heaters & heat pumps in New Orleans, LA for residential and commercial properties across Greater New Orleans and the Northshore. Pool heater installation and repair in New Orleans covers gas heaters, electric heat pumps, and, unusually, pool chillers, because in this climate the problem is sometimes that the water is too warm rather than too cold. We size equipment from surface area, target temperature, and cover use rather than from a brochure, and we repair what you already own before recommending a replacement. Start with heating, because it is what extends the season at both ends. An electric heat pump is the right default here and it is not close. Heat pumps move warmth out of the air rather than generating it, and their efficiency depends on ambient air temperature, which in southeast Louisiana is mild for most of the year. That means they run at a small fraction of the operating cost of gas across March, April, October, and November, which is exactly the shoulder season you are trying to buy. Their limitation is speed, so treat one as a set-and-hold tool rather than a heat-it-tonight tool. A natural gas heater delivers heat now, which is the only argument that matters for a spa on a cold January evening, and it costs the most per hour to run. The combination we install most often is a heat pump for the pool and gas for the spa. Now the thing nobody outside the Gulf South talks about: pool chillers. By late July, a pool in full sun here can sit in the high 80s, which is not refreshing, it is soup. A chiller, or a heat pump with a reverse cooling cycle, pulls the temperature back into the low 80s and genuinely changes how much you use the pool in August. It is a niche product almost everywhere else and a reasonable purchase here. Sizing beats brand every time. Undersized heaters run constantly and never catch up, which is the most common complaint we get called out to, and oversized gas units short cycle and burn through ignition components. A cover changes the calculation more than any equipment choice, because evaporation is where the heat goes. We also service what you have: ignitors, flame sensors, pressure switches, thermostats, control boards, gas valves, and the venting that gets blamed for everything else.
With 15+ years of experience, our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — gunite and shotcrete construction, hydrostatic relief valves for a high water table, PebbleTec and quartz interior finishes, travertine and brick coping with glass waterline tile, variable-speed pumps and cartridge or DE filtration, saltwater chlorination — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve New Orleans and nearby communities including Metairie, Kenner, Gretna, Harvey.

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 construction, hydrostatic relief valves for a high water table, PebbleTec and quartz interior finishes, travertine and brick coping with glass waterline 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 New Orleans 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 Greater New Orleans and the Northshore means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
