Spa heater
repair services are offered by professionals who can diagnose,
troubleshoot as well as repair hot tubs or spas that are malfunctioning. They
can help you out with swimming pools as well. Now, when it comes to a spa or a
hot tub the usual problems that arise are due to the jets, pump, blower,
heating element and so on. There could also be water leaks. Usually spa
heater repair service providers would come to the site, check the problem,
give you an estimate and then do the repair once you agree.
Hourly rates – Like many other repair services, spa heater repair services might also be based on time plus the cost of
replacing any parts. Average costs generally come to about $60 to $120. Other
than the repairs, companies also provide you with regular maintenance which
would include leak detection, pump, heater repairs and the filter.
Certifications and Qualifications – Technicians
who come to repair spas or hot tubs need to have the skills that are found in
electricians, mechanics and plumbers. You also need to make sure that the
company you choose is insured and licensed. Most repair technicians should be up
to date with the industry changes by attending training by leading manufacturers.
Model and make – The kind of hot tub or spa you have could
also make a big difference in the cost of replacing parts.
Troubleshooting – Sometimes you can help speed up the repair
process by trying and understanding the working of your spa yourself. Some
basic knowledge will go a long way. Check the basic components of your spa. For
example – the water doesn’t heat up, or the jets don’t function properly, the
pump can be heard but the water isn’t being circulated, or water is leaking
near the pump shaft – these indicate a problem in the pump. The water not
heating could also mean the heater need repair. Hot tub blowers have to have
sufficient power and the right voltage to perform flawlessly. Just like any
other heater these may malfunction after about five years or so. If jets are
not turning it might mean that there is a mineral buildup due to hard water. It
is in general a good idea to get familiar with your spa.
Cost saving tactics – The best way to save your money is to avoid
any malfunction. That can be done only with regular cleaning and maintenance.
Also keep the chemicals and cleaning system well balanced.
