"I went on Angie's List to see which pool service provider had the best ratings.  Though I traditionally have used the same contractor that installed my pool, I decided to go with the provider that had the highest ratings on Angie's List.  Happily, I was very happy with the service provided.  Last fall, Scott the owner sent out some employees to measure the precisely measure the pool.  In the early Spring, AquaHaven (AH) came back to make sure the measurements were correct.  AH sent me information via e-mail as to the different styles and types of liners that they carried.  I scheduled AH to come back in the Spring do install the liner.  AH set up a sump pump the day before installation to drain the pool.  It took approximately 10 hours to drain 18,000 gallons.  The pump was submerged and had a cut off switch so I really did not have to do anything.  Two highly skilled and professional workers showed up promptly at 8:00 a.m. the next day and finished draining the pool.  They then worked quickly to remove the old liner, prepare the metal sides and redo the flooring and walls of the pool.  Some of the pool floor and walls had deteriorated over the past 12 years so the workers quickly redid the entire damaged services leaving the pool floor and walls smooth.  The new vinyl liner was then put in place.  The workers were careful not to damage the pool floor which they had just repaired.  Once the liner was put in place, they put in vacuum blowers to remove any excess air and began filling the pool with water.  They then cleaned up completely hauling away the old liner, debris and any equipment they had brought.  After filling the pool floor with sufficient water to cover the first steps, AH came back the next day to remove the vacuum blowers.  The pool is now completely filled with water and is beautiful.
The pool liner cost approximately $1,500 and the labor, other material and tax ran around $2,700.  This was similar in cost to other contractors.  Scott, the owner, checked with me by phone the next day to see if everything was okay.  
I believe AH provided excellent service and an excellent product.  I would highly recommend them for this type of work in the future.

"The purchase process took several months as I took the opportunity to educate myself about the current technologies. Tri-City, via Synergy in Ballantyne, was extremely helpful and provided a no-pressure experience. I spoke to several vendors and received quotes from five. All of the quotes were higher than my final cost. The installation process was not painless as there were some issues with equipment failure. However, the vendor did their level best to minimize the impact upon me and made everything right without complaint."

"Called about leak Sunday morning. Plumber came out Monday, determined it needed replacement and notified Choice, who approved claim and permitted plumber to order new water heater. Thursday new water heater was installed. Was kept updated every day by both Choice and the plumber. Workers left my garage clean and I have hot water. Very satisfied and have recommended Choice Home Warranty on the Nextdoor app."

"The technician did an excellent job. It did take a while to get the repair finished, but that was due to Bertazzoni delivering the parts. I have had multiple problems with this particular appliance. My range now works better than it did when new, but I have a feeling that even if I have continuing problems with it, American Home Shield will just repair rather than replace due to the cost of the range. By the way, I'm not exactly sure of the date of the repair."

FAQs for swimming pool heaters installation and replacement projects in Chapel Hill, NC

Yes, you can add a heater to an existing pool. A pro can retrofit a heater to nearly any in-ground or above-ground pool. Adding a heater allows you to start the swim season earlier, finish it later, and maintain a steady water temperature in between. Many owners schedule the job during a larger pool upgrade, but it also works as a standalone project. Professional installation ties the new unit into the existing pump and plumbing for safe, efficient operation.

Most owners switch the heater on a day or two before they plan to swim, then shut it down afterward. Reaching the target temperature can take 24 to 72 hours, depending on pool size and outdoor conditions. Using a cover while the heater is off helps hold the heat and keeps energy costs in check.

Pool heaters can freeze if left exposed to extreme conditions. Freezing can damage internal heater components, potentially leading to costly pool repairs. Cycling water, covering the heater, and regular maintenance help prevent freezing. Sealing or winterizing your heater also protects it during the season—this involves draining water from the heater and its components.

Pool heaters operate with lifespans spanning from seven to 30 years. Gas and propane models last seven to 12 years, while electric and solar heaters perform efficiently for up to 30 years. Consistent professional maintenance and routine inspections extend the heater’s life and improve its performance, ensuring a safe and reliable heating system for your pool.

Before hiring a pool heater installation contractor, conduct thorough research by reviewing online feedback and gathering recommendations from trusted sources. Contact multiple professionals to discuss pricing, request references, and understand the complete installation process. This careful evaluation ensures you select a qualified contractor who delivers high-quality service and a successful installation.
