Ignition & Burner Repair
A gas heater that will not fire usually has an ignition, pilot, or burner issue. We trace the failure and repair the burner assembly so the heater lights reliably.

Hillside Pool & Spa diagnoses and repairs gas and electric pool heaters across Cedar Park, fixing the ignition, sensor, and flow problems that leave the water cold.
A focused pool heater repair visit covers the specific problems that show up on Cedar Park pools. Here is what we handle on every repair.
A gas heater that will not fire usually has an ignition, pilot, or burner issue. We trace the failure and repair the burner assembly so the heater lights reliably.
A heater that runs but will not hold temperature often has a faulty thermostat or sensor. We repair or replace the sensors so the heater holds the set temp.
A heater that leaks or underperforms often has a scaled or corroded heat exchanger. We clean or replace the exchanger so the heat transfers efficiently.
A heater that shuts down mid-cycle often has a venting or pressure switch issue. We repair the venting and the switches so the heater runs a full cycle.
A heater that will not fire or fires weak often has a gas valve or control board issue. We repair the valve and the controls so the heater runs right.
We test the heater and hand you a clear written diagnosis before any repair starts. Knowing the real cause is what keeps a fix from coming back.
Cedar Park pools run Hayward, Pentair, and Raypak gas heaters, and our technicians know the common failures on all three, from the Hayward Universal to the Pentair MasterTemp. We carry the common igniters, sensors, and pressure switches on the truck, so we can often fix a heater on the first visit. Knowing the heater on your pad is what keeps a repair quick and correct. We never guess at a part.
We use genuine Hayward, Pentair, and Raypak igniters, sensors, gas valves, and heat exchangers, because aftermarket parts run hot and fail fast. Every part is matched to your heater model and your gas line. We test the heater through a full cycle after every install. We never substitute a part that does not fit right. For the full scope of our pool heater repair work across the area, see our Pool Heater Repair overview page.
We diagnose the real cause, send a clear written quote, and verify the fix before we leave your Cedar Park backyard.
We check the ignition, the burner, the sensors, and the gas valve, and trace the problem to the actual cause before we recommend a part.
Before any part goes in, we send a straightforward written quote for the repair so you know the plan, no pressure.
We install the part, fire the heater, and confirm it runs a full cycle and holds temperature before we leave.
A failing heater leaves the water cold right when you want to swim, and a cold pool sits empty. These signs tell you a heater repair visit is the fastest fix.
Catching a failing igniter or a scaled exchanger early is what keeps a small repair from turning into a full heater replacement.
We always start with a clear diagnosis, because the right call between repairing and replacing a heater depends on the part, the age of the unit, and the cost of the fix. An igniter or a sensor often just needs a repair, while a cracked heat exchanger or a failed control board usually points to a replacement. We lay out both options honestly so you can choose what fits your pool. There is no pressure to pick the bigger job.
If a replacement is the better path, we send a free written quote after seeing your situation, no pressure, and we match the new heater to your pool volume and your gas line. You approve the scope before any work starts, so there are never surprise charges. Our goal is the fix that lasts, not the fix that gets us out the door fastest.

Heater repair in Cedar Park is shaped by the mix of heater eras and the debris load that chokes flow switches. Here is what we plan around on every repair.
The mature oaks across Forest Oaks and Buttercup Creek drop steady leaf debris that loads up the pump baskets and chokes the flow that the heater needs to fire, which is a common cause of a heater that shuts down mid-cycle. A low-flow trip shuts the heater off to protect the exchanger, so we clear the baskets and check the flow switch as part of the diagnosis. Keeping the baskets clean is what prevents the trip from repeating. The debris load is the first thing we check on a heater that will not stay running.
Cedar Park has a real split between the older gas heaters in Buttercup Creek and Forest Oaks, which see more igniter and heat exchanger failures from years of use, and the newer high-efficiency units in Cypress Canyon and Lakeline Oaks, which see more sensor and control board issues. That mix means we carry parts and test approaches for both modern and legacy heaters on every route. Knowing which generation your heater belongs to shapes how we service it. We never guess at a part.
