Pool equipment installation and upgrades
Upgrading pool equipment is one of the few home improvements that pays you back. A variable-speed pump alone saves $600 to $1,200 a year in San Diego thanks to SDG&E's TOU pricing. We install professional-grade equipment, dial it in correctly, and warranty the work.

What do homeowners ask about Equipment Install?
Is a variable speed pump worth it?
In San Diego, absolutely. SDG&E's TOU rates penalize peak-hour energy use heavily. Running a VS pump at low speed for longer hours costs a fraction of what a single-speed pump costs during peak. Payback is usually 2 to 3 years, and most now meet CA Title 20 requirements.
What brands do you install?
Primarily Pentair and Hayward, plus Jandy for automation. We pick brands based on reliability, parts availability, and warranty support, not just what has the biggest rebate.
Do you handle permits and gas line work for heaters?
Yes. We coordinate permits and work with licensed gas fitters for natural gas or propane heater connections.
