Pool heater repair is the most-mentioned job in our Google reviews.

Scheduling was easy and accommodating, and communication was outstanding, especially the day before and the day of service, with text notifications that they were on their way. They were very kind and knowledgeable and had our pool heater up and running in no time!"
"Couldn't be happier. Jason from Bates HVAC came out on a Sunday evening (you read that right) to address issues with our furnace. He was on time, courteous and got us back up and running as quickly as possible. So happy, we're having him back for a furnace tune up next week."
"Branden did a terrific job fixing our pool heater in Fairfield. He was on time (actually early which was fantastic), friendly and easy to talk to and answered all the questions I threw at him. I highly recommend the team at Bates HVAC!"
"Jason at Bates HVAC did a great job for our AC unit. He showed up early, knocked out the problem quickly, and price was more than fair. Thank you Jason for getting our AC unit running again! Highly Recommend !"
"We just purchased a pool heater and couldn't get it going. I called Bates HVAC for help and found out that we were out of their service area. I talked to Heather and she said Jason might be able to help us with troubleshooting over the phone. He found out what the problem was and guided us on how to fix it. It now works great."
