A note on the numbers

This isn't a cost. It's an investment.

The figures on this page are real and we don't hide them — that's how AE operates. Treat them as planning ranges, not a site-specific quote. Your actual scope and price depend on design, site conditions, materials, and the work each written proposal includes.

When you compare proposals, compare what each includes — the scope, the materials, the exclusions, the warranty terms, and how changes are handled — not just the price tag. A lower total can reflect different scope, so ask each builder to clarify the differences.

Pool equipment replacement in Phoenix, VS pumps, real automation, warranties filed.

AE Outdoor Living replaces pool equipment across the entire Phoenix metro — variable-speed pumps, cartridge and DE filters, gas and electric heaters, salt cells, and full pad rebuilds. Every install uses Pentair, Jandy, or Hayward equipment with manufacturer warranty registration filed within 48 hours.

The honest version: If your bidder is quoting a single-speed pump replacement in 2026, walk away. DOE rules have banned single-speed pump replacements on standard residential pools since July 2021, and any installer still trying to sell one is either uninformed or hoping you are. Variable-speed is code, not upsell — and it cuts your Phoenix pool electric bill 50–80% starting the first month.

FAQ

Common questions.

Variable-speed pump swap (Pentair, Jandy, Hayward): $1,400–$3,200. Cartridge or DE filter replacement: $900–$2,400. Salt cell replacement: $850–$1,800. Full equipment pad rebuild (pump + filter + heater + automation): $6,500–$18,000+. Gas or electric pool heater install: $3,800–$9,500. Every part, labor, and permit line-itemed on the proposal.

Variable-speed pumps past 7–10 years are usually cheaper to replace than repair — new pumps hit 60–80% energy savings that pay back in 2–3 years. Filters past 12–15 years are replacement. Salt cells are consumables — replace when chlorine output drops below 50% at 100% setting. AE's inspection tells you the honest replace-vs-repair call with cost side-by-side.

Yes — as of July 2021, all new and replacement inground pool pumps over 1 THP sold in the US must be variable-speed by DOE rule. Single-speed pumps can no longer be installed as replacements on standard residential pools. VS pumps also cut Phoenix pool electric bills 50–80% vs. old single-speed — real savings, not marketing.

Pentair IntelliCenter, Jandy iAquaLink, and Hayward OmniLogic — full smart-home compatible pool automation with app control for pumps, heaters, salt cells, lighting, water features, and valve actuators. Retrofit onto existing equipment when brands are compatible, full pad rebuild when they aren't. Every automation quote includes control scope and app training.

Single pump swap: 1 day. Filter or salt cell replacement: 1 day. Heater install with gas or electrical work: 2–4 days. Full equipment pad rebuild with new automation: 5–10 days including permits and inspection. Every phase scheduled in the written proposal.

Yes — every install includes manufacturer warranty registration in the homeowner's name (Pentair, Jandy, Hayward all offer 2–3 year warranties that only apply if registered by a licensed installer). AE files registration within 48 hours of install and forwards confirmation. Skipping this is why so many homeowners find out their pump warranty was never active.

  • Licensed, bonded & insured in Arizona. ROC 340966 (R-62) · ROC 341002 (R-3) · ROC 347738 (KA-5) · ROC 211530 (CR-21).
