"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."

"Quality equipment, professional service, great results What I learned from friends, colleagues and family about pool installations is they tend to start late and finish later. This isnâ t necessarily a reflection on the contractor, but rather the uncontrollable factors that affect the timeline and the need to manage multiple customers at once to be a viable, healthy business. The factors that impacted my project were weather, subcontractor labor shortages, and supply chain. I work for a manufacturing company and can appreciate the supply chain and labor challenges â COVID changed the market, and these challenges persist. As a result of all that, a 3-week job turned into 2 months. I wanted to host a grad party and 4th of July partyâ ¦both came and went with the delays and frustrations mounted. Sometimes the stars do align and a job goes exactly as planned, but that wasnâ t my case. During it all, Andrew (owner) stayed in touch and returned my texts if I sent him a question or concern. I say all this upfront for perspective. There are factors outside of everyoneâ s control and (again) I am not the only customer. When pool equipment was late coming in, I didnâ t expect Andrew to halt all other business because, well, there is a business to run still. The easy response is â Delays are not my problem and figure it outâ , but we stayed in constant communication and worked together on getting it to the finish line. When the job finished and we had our first pool party with friends and family, I was 100% happy and reminded myself that we have decades of pool seasons ahead. Just like the delays I experienced when building my home and getting furniture, all is right with the world when it is complete. The wait is worth it. Andrewâ s team was always courteous, took the time to answer all my questions and show me how to use the equipment and apply best practice techniques to maintain the pool during the season. I am amazed at how light touch that maintenance is. Salt systems are a huge part of that, and the Jandy pool and heater systems are intuitive and simple to use. Our pool is approximately 16â x 40â with an 8â deep end and integrated spa and it was bath water in a matter of hours from a cold state. When the iAqualink app was setup and connected to my WiFi network, I could control the pump system and bounce between settings for pool use and pool not in use. The app will also provide information back to the Pool Doctor team as needed to help maintain the system. Part of this ease of use is Andrewâ s team proactively checking in to make sure everything is working properly and the water is treated properly. Basically, my job is to skim, vacuum and swim. Simple and fun! The cement work has brought many compliments â the surface, including the cantilever edging has a slate look to it in terms of texture and color. When it gets another seal coat in the spring, Iâ ll be adding some grit to it for added grip â it can be slippery when wet. The sound system, landscaping, grill gazebo, adjacent patio room, and lights in and around the pool add to the ambiance and create the resort atmosphere that was desired â couldnâ t be happier! Closing the pool took a couple hours and the team walked me through the process to give me a general understanding of what it entailed. Even though Iâ ll use them for openings and closings going forward, I appreciated the walkthrough and understanding that they gave me. So, if I had to start over, would I still go back to Pool Doctor? The answer is yes. The confidence in that answer only grows when I hear from my work colleagues and friends about their pool installation experiences and MORE importantly are the quality results I got. I am looking forward to Spring!"

FAQs for swimming pool heaters installation and replacement projects in Waterford, PA

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.
