Florida Pool Heating has over 40 years of experience and is one of the most trusted names in pool heater service throughout South Florida. We are an authorized Gulfstream dealer with a reputation for excellence in service and customer care. Homeowners across the region turn to us for heater diagnostics, repairs, and full system replacements.
This model is known for its durability and quiet operation. Still, Florida’s coastal environment and heavy pool use can impact even the best systems over time. Salt exposure, humidity, and inconsistent water chemistry can slowly reduce the efficiency of your heat pump. Signs that your SQ120R might need service include temperature that fluctuates more than usual, louder fan or compressor operation, unresponsive controls, or system cycling without fully heating the pool. If your unit has recently triggered a digital fault code or stopped responding to your automation system, a deeper diagnostic may be needed.
Addressing these issues early helps avoid unexpected system failure and extends the operating life of your equipment.
The SQ120R delivers approximately 117000 BTUs of heating power and is designed to operate with both standard and saltwater pools. It uses eco friendly R410A refrigerant and features a titanium heat exchanger for maximum resistance against corrosion. With a flow rate range that supports most residential setups and a weather resistant exterior, it is built to perform year round. Its quiet scroll compressor and microprocessor controlled interface make it a popular choice for homeowners looking for comfort without disruption.
Even with these strengths, regular service is essential to keep your heater running as efficiently as possible in the long term.
Our licensed technicians begin every visit with a detailed on site system evaluation. We assess the heat exchanger, sensors, refrigerant level, flow rate, and electrical integrity. If a component has failed or is showing signs of degradation, we will walk you through the findings and recommend the right path forward.
We frequently resolve issues involving capacitor failure, fan motor problems, pressure switch alerts, and digital board malfunctions. We also inspect for restricted flow, clogged coils, or sensor drift that could be affecting performance. Most service calls are completed in a single visit. For specialty components, we work with AquaCal approved suppliers to ensure fast turnaround and proper fit.
If your unit is less than ten years old and the problem is isolated, repair is typically the best and most cost effective option. However, if the system is over a decade old, showing repeated issues, or falling behind your pool’s needs, we will help you weigh whether an upgrade makes more sense in the long run.
You will receive a detailed breakdown of your repair options and a side by side comparison with available replacement models. We offer practical advice, not sales pressure. The goal is to keep your pool comfortable and your equipment working without unnecessary costs.
When you contact us, we schedule a time that fits your availability. Our technician arrives promptly, inspects your SQ120R, and runs a complete diagnostic. We explain the results clearly and help you understand what needs to be done. With your approval, we perform the service or coordinate a replacement based on your needs. Afterward, you will receive documentation and support for ongoing care
We are here to protect your investment, improve your pool experience, and deliver straightforward service every time
