"Millennium gave me both an estimate & a schedule for a pool renovation ( i.e. resetting, mortaring & cleaning flagstone pool deck & coping stones, replacing decorative tile, replastering pool, replacing light, & installing new mesh cover) and very closely stuck to that schedule & estimate. All work was completed in about a month. A project manager was assigned & stayed in contact throughout the project, ensuring all questions were timely answered & that project timetable was met. A very professional job! I would highly recommend them."

"Leader (1st) garage wall plug shorted on a Sunday and because it fed the other 2 plugs (along with the freezer, TV, phone,  and a seperate  fridge), I called Coles.  He said it would be $125 to come out on a Sunday so I figured around $150 to replace the wall plugs.   He came out, replaced the 3 plugs and the tolal I paid was $250.  All I could think of was it must be $125 to come out AND $125 for the work.  He could have told  me the extra  cost up-front.

"Amazing company! Fast, dependable, fair pricing, and consistent. I first called them a few years ago after getting the run around from 2 other pool companies about repairing a hole in the sidewall and replacing my liner. Within 2 days of my call they came to evaluate the situation. The following Monday they came to repair, midweek came to treat water, and by that Friday we were swimming again. I will not use anyone else!"

"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."

"Well, the first time the replacement was ordered it was the wrong one, which of course, delayed the installation a week. When it was finally installed I had to pay an additional $850 for code upgrades. This I was not informed of by Home Shield. Then we noticed that there was water on the garage floor and found that the pipe coming in from the wall was leaking at the wall so had to call the plumbing company back out to fix it. They first tried to say it was not their fault but since there wasn't a leak before they installed they did fix it. I have used Home Shield a few times before and never had a problem. Some of the companies they use are not the best so you have to research them before you commit. I have found HS service to be good if you do your homework. At the end of the day I was without hot water for almost 3 weeks but it was do to the plumbing company they sent out."

FAQs for swimming pool heaters installation and replacement projects in Richmond, VA

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.
