What to do next
- Check the contractor's license on the Arizona Registrar of Contractors contractor search before hiring.
- Ask which Arizona classification applies, such as CR-6 Swimming Pool Service and Repair or KA-5 Dual Swimming Pool Contractor.
- Request a written quote that separates labor and materials, since licensing is required once they exceed $1,000.
- Ask whether the heater repair requires a permit, because a permit triggers the license requirement regardless of price.
