"Bill, the owner, was extremely thorough and knowledgeable. He did an excellent job replacing the liner for our above ground pool. He also did some extra things he noticed at no extra cost. I would highly recommend Spartan to anyone who needs work done on pool. It was very refreshing to find someone who still takes pride in their work these days."

"Weâ ve had our pool needs serviced by S&R Pools for many years. Kevin and his staff are very knowledgeable and thorough with regards to our pool. We used to have a baquacil chemical system for our poor and that was causing many algae issues as well as being very costly. Kevin recommended a salt system to chlorinate the pool using good old salt. The system paid for itself in 3-years and the natural salt is easy on the skin and eyes. Recently we had our 18-year old liner replaced and my pool looks brand new. I only use S&R Pools for all my pool needs. They are never too busy to return my calls or answer my inquiries."

"The experience was excellent. I would recommend Schultz bros. to anyone looking to have work done. He arrived on time for both the appointments - estimate and service. We went through the job to discuss what I need to have done and how that could be achieved with to my satisfaction. On the installation day, we re-confirmed the plan and he went to work. As the problem arose, which they always do when doing old work(replacing or installing in older homes) we discussed what to do and how to solve the problem. In the kitchen, we had to install a second GFCI in a double box to get the proper amount of room for wires. The rest of kitchen installation went as planed. For the bathroom GFCI, he had to pull wires to attic, run them over to the bathroom and drop them down the wall. The bathroom installation was pretty straight forward, but was time consuming. After completing the work he checked circuits and finished cleaning up, he also clean up as he work to keep the mess to a minimum. He finished on time and was within quoted price. I was very happy with the quality of the work and his professionalism.

"After purchasing the "Big Deal" for a "Deluxe Home Surge Protection Plus 12-Point Safety Inspection", I was promptly contacted by One Call to schedule my appointment, which was nice. I also appreciated that I was able to correspond through e-mail, since I was out of town. Before the appointment date, I was asked to provide more information on my electrical panel so that (I was told) the electrician could bring the proper supplies. I couldn't find the panel information, so I instead took pictures and sent them. These showed that I had an older style Pushmatic electrical panel.
On the appointment day when the technician arrived, I learned that my electrical panel could not accommodate a whole-house surge protector because of its age. I felt a bit misled about this because I had sent pictures showing that it was an older panel, so they likely knew at that point that they wouldn't be able to perform the installation. Instead, the technician (who was nice and personable) tried to sell me on a new electrical panel to replace my "obsolete" Pushmatic panel. Both options were for 150 amp panels, with the choice of aluminum ($3954, including whole-house surge protector) or copper ($5,766). I was a bit taken aback by this, as this is a major expense and, again, I believe One Call was aware of my older panel and that the surge protector installation I had purchased through the "Big Deal" would not be able to be installed. At the very least, the Big Deal description should have explained that some (I suspect many) panels cannot accommodate this surge protector installation.
At the time of the visit, I did not commit to spending nearly $4,000 on electrical upgrades, as I wanted to research a bit more to find out if the upgrade was necessary (i.e., is my panel a safety hazard if left as-is?) and to find out if the quoted price for a new panel was reasonable. After speaking to my general electrician, I learned that my current electrical panel really doesn't need upgrading (though it certainly wouldn't be a bad idea to do at some point) and that there's nothing in particular about the type of panel I have that should present a safety concern. Moreover, the quoted price of ~$4,000 is very high, as I learned that a 150 amp panel can be installed for closer to $2000 (or less).
In the end, my impression was favorable about the demeanor and friendliness of the employees I dealt with, but I was not happy that the company was not very forthcoming about the fact that the surge protector could not be installed, and instead used the opportunity to try to sell me on an extremely expensive and (arguably) overpriced upgrade. In that sense, I did not get my money's worth.

"We needed a kitchen sink and faucet, a bathroom sink and faucet, and one toilet replaced. In addition, a leaky faucet in our tub/shower required repair. We had a second toilet replaced at a later date. The sinks and toilets were fairly routine and Mastropiero handled them smoothly and efficiently. They were also very helpful in providing specs before doing the job for what we should buy that would fit and be quality. Other plumbers had told us that in order to fix the leaky tub faucet they would have to break through the wall behind the tub. Mastropiero however was able to do it without having to break wall or tile. The job they did is excellent and likely saved us some amount of money and headaches in subsequent repairs. All the jobs are working well and are very attractive. The three technicians who did the work were professional, friendly and polite, and willing to answer all questions. With all the work that houses require over the years, it is nice to be able to rely on a plumber. We will absolutely use them again."

"My house is 110 years old. They were willing to do the job. They weren't afraid of the job. They came in and did it with as little disruption as possible. It's a messy job so it's difficult to do it without disruption. They did it in a timely fashion."

FAQs for swimming pool heaters installation and replacement projects in Hillsborough, NJ

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.
