Gas swimming pool heaters make pools and spas more inviting, enjoyable and comfortable for your use. The technology advancements on newer heaters make them more efficient, easier to use and much more forgiving to some of the real world variables that are inherent to the wide array of pool and spa dynamics and factors. But sadly, no amount of technology can protect you from an improperly installed or vented heater.
Cutting corners to save money, installing them improperly
and hiring contractors to install your heater without the proper training,
experience and ethical business practices is dangerous. In fact, it can kill!
Take a look at a couple of the following stories and see for what
happens when your expose yourself to dangerous installers:
To properly protect yourself, ensure you verify the following
before purchasing your next heater and hiring your installer:
- Verify Licensing and reputation
- Get a formal proposal which outlines exactly what is included and how the heater will be installed
- Call the manufacturer and see if the company/installer is trained to install the heater and/or work on it
- DO NOT just pick the lowest bid without considering WHY the bid is lower than others
- Ask questions and get the installation manual from the manufacturers website to verify the installation is in accordance with the standards they set.
The price you pay for your next heater may not be nearly as
expensive as the price you might pay should you hire an unlicensed, untrained
and unqualified company to do the works for you. Your family’s safety is more
important than a cheap, improperly installed heater. Please take the time to
verify before you buy. If you need help or have questions, please contact us on
