Pool Companies & Builders in Texas
These licensed businesses have a pool company or pool builder style name. Texas has no statewide swimming pool contractor license, so the license shown is the TDLR Residential Appliance Installation Contractor license that covers pool heaters and equipment (or a TSBPE plumbing license). Pool companies often install heaters as part of a new pool, remodel or equipment upgrade. Ask each one whether they install the heater type you want.
Why choose this
- Can build or remodel a pool and install a heater as part of the job.
- Pool companies often handle the whole equipment pad: pump, filter, automation and heater.
- One contractor can plan the equipment pad, plumbing and heater together.
Things to consider
- Pool builders may book out far ahead; heater-only jobs may wait.
- Some builders subcontract heater installs; ask who will do the work.
- Gas and electrical connections may need other licensed trades.
Questions to ask
- The contractor's TDLR license number (or TSBPE plumbing license for gas piping), so you can confirm it on the state license search.
- Who pulls the permit (and any separate electrical, plumbing or gas permit) and whether permit fees are included.
- The heater make, model and output, and how they sized it for your pool. Ask them to show the calculation.
- Warranty terms: manufacturer warranty on the equipment and the contractor's own warranty on labor.
- Whether the heater is included in a new pool or remodel quote, or priced separately.
- Equipment pad location, and clearances for a heat pump's airflow or a gas heater's venting.

Frequently asked questions
Can I add a heater to my pool later?
Usually, yes. A licensed contractor can add a heater to existing plumbing. Ask whether your pump, equipment pad and electrical or gas supply can handle it.
Which Texas licenses cover pool heater work?
Texas has no statewide swimming pool contractor license. TDLR guidance says Residential Appliance Installation Contractors (RAIC) may install and replace pool heaters, pumps, motors, automation and other pool electrical equipment on the load side. A new or upgraded electrical circuit needs a TDLR-licensed electrical contractor, and new gas piping for a gas heater needs a TSBPE-licensed plumber, so ask who will do each part of the job.
