Albuquerque Pool Pros provides professional pool heaters & heat pumps in Albuquerque, NM for residential and commercial properties across the Albuquerque metro and the Rio Grande valley. Pool heater installation is the single most consequential decision an Albuquerque pool owner makes, because it decides whether you own a three-month pool or a six-month one.
Unheated, our season runs mid-June to early September; with the right heater and a cover, most of our customers swim from late April into October. There are three technologies and they suit different situations.
Gas heaters, natural gas or propane, deliver high output and fast recovery, which makes them the right answer for spas and for anyone who wants the water hot on demand rather than on a schedule.
Electric heat pumps move heat from the air rather than making it and cost far less per degree to run, but they lose capacity as the air gets cold — which in Albuquerque means they are excellent for holding a pool at temperature through spring and fall and unhelpful in January.
Solar is genuinely strong here in a way it is not in most markets: 300-plus sunny days and intense high-altitude insolation make roof-mounted panels an effective and cheap-to-run way to add several weeks at each end of the season, especially paired with a cover.
Plenty of our installs end up as a combination — solar or heat pump on the pool, gas on the spa. Sizing is calculation, not guesswork.
We work from surface area, target temperature rise, exposure and wind, and whether a cover is in use, because an undersized heater runs forever and never arrives while an oversized gas unit short-cycles and destroys its own heat exchanger.
Installation includes correctly sized gas line and pressure, proper venting clearances, bonded and GFCI-protected electrical for heat pumps, integration into the automation system, and freeze-safe plumbing layout.
We also repair what is already out there: ignition and flame sensor faults, pressure switch failures, scaled heat exchangers from hard water, and the extremely common no-fire call that turns out to be a dirty filter starving the heater of flow.
And we will say it again because it is the best money in the category: buy the cover. It is the cheapest heat you will ever get.
With 15+ years of experience, our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — gunite and shotcrete shells, PebbleTec and polished quartz interiors, flagstone and travertine coping, high-efficiency heat pumps and gas heaters, variable-speed pumps, cartridge and DE filtration — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Albuquerque and nearby communities including Rio Rancho, Santa Fe, South Valley, Los Lunas.

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, PebbleTec and polished quartz interiors, flagstone and travertine coping, high-efficiency heat pumps and gas heaters, 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 Albuquerque 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 Albuquerque metro and the Rio Grande valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
