Over the course of the install Intermountain Aquatech maintained the timelines they promised, the cost they quoted out, and a strong level of professionalism and communication through the entire process. The Project Manager Curtiss and His team Josh, Tim, Saul, and Danoto, took care of us through every step of the process. Curtis ensured that we were always informed on what to expect through each step of the process. The team was top notch in being responsive to questions and concerns if they came up. Kevin did a great Job on our design and helping to walk us through all the options available to us during the pre-build process. The entire team worked hand in hand with our local municipality and other third party vendors to make sure timelines were met and we were getting the highest level of attention to our project by all involved. I would recommend the third party vendors they use for any job as well. Finally, Kaitlyn and her team ensured that billing and invoicing was always correct and quickly addressed any questions that we had regarding costs and payment. I appreciate all that was done to get us into our pool! During our pool contractor search we met with multiple companies for bids. Intermountain Aquatech was the best priced ( by far) and had the most experience of all the companies we had bid our job. Curtiss, thank you for all you did through this process we are excited about the outcome and what we get to enjoy for years to come. We greatly appreciate all you put into the project! Brad, thank you for taking the time through the sale process to hear us out on what we were looking for.

He was very efficient and quick with his work, super kind and seemed to really care about his job! He also was really great with explaining what everything meant and what the levels should look like for each, which that helped a lot with my understanding of how all the chemical stuff works and that was great! ![google](https://aquatechutah.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-social-reviews/assets/images/icon/icon-google-small.png) [Jeff Snow](https://search.google.com/local/reviews?placeid=ChIJjYbR0H6IUocRj_zQR3Ao2us) June 4, 2026 Curtis came out today and fixed my problem with my Pentair system at a minutes notice!

He cheerfully helped me find the part I needed, which took some effort since it was an obscure part and I did not know enough about the brand to help him. I've always had great customer service at Aquatech and will be back! ![Happy family enjoying warm water in backyard pool.](https://aquatechutah.com/wp-content/uploads/customer-testimonial-pool-heater.png) **Mini Case Study:** **Problem:** A homeowner in Draper struggled with a failing solar heater. **Solution:** We replaced it with a [Pentair](https://aquatechutah.com/equipment-parts/pentair-aquatic-systems/) natural gas system sized for their inground pool. **Result:** Heating costs decreased, swim season was extended by three months, and water temperature remained consistent at 82°F.     ## ## Why Ignoring Pool Heating Costs More Than You Think Without a reliable pool heater, you’re limiting your pool’s use to only the warmest weeks. Cold water discourages regular use, shortens the season, and can even lead to mechanical strain if your system runs inefficiently. The cost of waiting? Fewer memories made, higher maintenance headaches, and wasted investment in your pool.   ## The Benefits of Choosing the Right Pool Heater ![Cold empty pool showing the cost of neglecting a heater.](https://aquatechutah.com/wp-content/uploads/trusted-pool-heaters-utah.png) ✔️ **Certified Experts** Trained specialists who size and recommend the right system for your unique pool. ✔️ **Trusted Brands** [Pentair](https://aquatechutah.com/equipment-parts/pentair-aquatic-systems/), [Hayward](https://aquatechutah.com/equipment-parts/hayward/), Jandy, Raypak, and Coates are recognized for their reliable performance and long lifespans. ✔️ **Flexible Fuel Options** Natural gas is used as the standard, with propane conversions made as needed, and electric units are installed by licensed electricians. ✔️ **Consistent Comfort** Enjoy warmer water in spring and fall, not just peak summer.   ![Trusted pool company serving Sandy and Utah neighborhoods.](https://aquatechutah.com/wp-content/uploads/ignoring-pool-heating-costs.png) ## Trusted Across Sandy, the Wasatch Front, and Beyond - Over 40 years of pool and spa expertise - Industry certifications and safety compliance - Quality guarantees and manufacturer [warranties](https://aquatechutah.com/warranties/) - Recognized service provider across Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho - Dozens of 5-star customer reviews   ## Our Pool Heater Services ![Warm backyard pool with consistent comfort from heater.](https://aquatechutah.com/wp-content/uploads/reliable-pool-heaters-sandy.png) **In-Ground Pool Heaters** The majority of our systems are designed for inground pools, built for efficiency and durability. **Above-Ground Pool Options** Our smallest heaters may work with above-ground pools. Customers are responsible for proprietary fittings, usually purchased directly from the manufacturer.     **Fuel Flexibility** - **Natural Gas Heaters**: Fast, reliable heating - **Propane Heaters**: Ideal for areas without gas lines - **Electric Heaters**: Best for smaller pools, always installed by licensed electricians **Trusted Brands** - Pentair (primary recommendation) - Hayward - Jandy - Raypak - Coates ## Frequently Asked Questions ### [What size pool heater do I need?](#) The right size depends on your pool’s surface area, depth, and your local climate. A general rule of thumb is that larger pools require higher BTU (British Thermal Unit) heaters. For example, a 20,000-gallon inground pool may need a heater in the 250,000-300,000 BTU range, while smaller above-ground pools may only require 50,000-100,000 BTU. Choosing the wrong size can lead to wasted energy or slow heating times. During your consultation, we calculate the exact BTU needed so your pool reaches and maintains the right temperature without overworking the system. ### [Do you install electric heaters?](#) Yes, we can supply electric heaters, but installation must be done by a licensed electrician. Electric models are best suited for smaller pools and spas. They take longer to heat compared to gas or propane, but they may be a fit if you want a low-maintenance option and don’t mind slower heating cycles. Safety is critical, which is why we always recommend certified electricians for these units. ### [Can my above-ground pool use a heater?](#) In some cases, yes. Our smallest gas or electric heaters can be paired with above-ground pools. However, many above-ground pool manufacturers use proprietary fittings and connections that only they sell. Customers are responsible for sourcing those fittings before installation. If you want to explore heating an above-ground pool, we can advise you on heater compatibility and sizing, but the fittings must come from the original pool manufacturer. ### [Do you offer solar heaters?](#) No. We do not sell or install solar heaters. While they can provide some efficiency in the right climates, we’ve found that gas, propane, and electric heaters are more reliable in delivering consistent, on-demand warmth, particularly in Utah’s variable weather. Our focus is on proven solutions that extend your swim season and keep your water comfortable without compromise. ### [How long does a pool heater last?](#) Most modern gas or propane pool heaters last 7-10 years with proper care. Electric heaters can last slightly longer if maintained well. Regular maintenance, including cleaning filters, checking [water chemistry](https://aquatechutah.com/bioguard/), and annual inspections, can extend lifespan beyond a decade. The brand you choose also matters. Pentair, Hayward, Raypak, and Jandy heaters are known for durability and are backed by manufacturer warranties. ### [How much does it cost to run a pool heater?](#) Operating costs depend on the heater type, pool size, and how often you heat the water. Gas heaters are the fastest but can cost more to run if used daily. Propane can be more expensive than natural gas, depending on local fuel costs. Electric heaters are generally less expensive upfront but can take longer to warm water, which increases energy use. On average, homeowners spend $200-$400 a month in peak season for gas or propane, while electric heaters may range lower depending on usage. We provide clear cost guidance during consultations so you know what to expect.   ## **Serving Sandy and Areas Around the Intermountain West** We proudly serve homeowners and businesses in Sandy, Draper, Salt Lake City, Ogden, Provo, and across Utah, with extended coverage into Wyoming and Idaho.
