LED retrofit,
or full color upgrade.
Most Utah pools still run 500-watt incandescent niche lights from the original install. A modern LED retrofit cuts the bulb energy by 85%, lasts 7–10x longer, and (if you want) gives you color and app control. We retrofit or fully replace.
Every visit, every line spelled out.
- Existing-fixture diagnostic — niche corrosion, GFCI/breaker check, bonding inspection
- Bulb-swap LED retrofit (Pentair Amerlite, Hayward Universal, Jandy 12V compatible)
- Full-fixture replacement with sealed LED units (Pentair Intellibrite, Hayward ColorLogic, Jandy LED)
- App-controlled color systems where compatible with existing automation
- GFCI breaker upgrade or installation if required
- Bonding wire inspection — required by code, often missed in original installs
- Permit pull on full-fixture replacements where jurisdiction requires
What actually happens once you hit send.
$129 diagnostic (credited toward install). We check niche condition, GFCI, bonding, voltage, and existing fixture compatibility.
Sometimes the right answer is a $400 bulb swap; sometimes it's a $1,500 full niche replacement because the niche is corroded. We tell you honestly.
Bulb swap: 60 minutes. Full niche: 2–4 hours, requires partial drain to below light niche. Color systems with automation integration: 1 day.
On-site demo of the new system — manual modes, scheduled scenes, automation app integration if compatible with your existing controller.
The Utah-specific part of this service.
- Older Ogden pools (pre-2010) still have the original 500W incandescent niches. The bulbs cost $35 to replace and burn out yearly; an LED bulb costs $150 and lasts 7–10 years. Payback under 2 years on bulb cost alone, before electric savings.
- Utah's freeze cycles take a toll on niche conduit. We see corroded conduit on roughly half the niche replacements we do. That's an electrical-safety issue, not just cosmetics.
- Most pool service companies aren't licensed to do the electrical work — they punt to a separate electrician. We do both under one trip, which keeps the price honest.
- Color systems are mostly worth it for outdoor entertaining. We tell you when the upcharge from white-LED to color is and isn't worth it — usually a function of how often you swim at night.
The questions we get for this one.
Can I retrofit an LED bulb into my old incandescent fixture?
Does an LED retrofit need a new GFCI breaker?
How much do LEDs save on my electric bill?
Will the color light work with my existing automation?
What about fiber optic — should I upgrade?
Other things we tend to handle.
Equipment repair
Most repairs come up mid-summer, which is exactly when you don't want a broken pump.
Automation install
Pentair IntelliCenter, Hayward OmniLogic, or Jandy iAquaLink.
Saltwater conversion
Salt generators give you softer water, no chemical lugging, and about seventy percent less chlorine cost long-term.
Alright, let's get your pool on a route.
