How much does a pool heater and installation cost? We've been told by our management company that turning our pool (10x20) into a heated one will up the number of rentals in the shoulder seasons, so we're starting to look into it.
MY pool guy called back, but I missed it. BTW...this is for the pool in Dallas. Hopefully, I can get some info today and I will share what I learn.
I'll bet Joan at Pool Pals would know. She's very knowledgeable.

Not cheap. I will send you a PM on the heater cost and installation. Yes, we did some research and feel that we will get 2-4 addl rentals in the "shoulder" weeks/weekends with a heated pool. We already got 1 booking that said that the heater was a mandatory criteria and 1 pending.
Our pool was installed by Cox Pools when the house was being built, so I just used them (Cox Pools of PCB) for the heater and installation. Their warranty is great and they are a certified service center that stocks the parts for the brand heater.
Okalossa Gas is running the gas line from the main for no charge and then is charging me $500.00 to tie in the heater and inspect and approve everything. Then it is $10.00/mo in the months when no gas is used and actual usage charges for the heating (I'm planning to charge renters $35/day and $250/wk for heating).
Being remote and not living there, has not been a big challenge. Both Okaloosa Gas and Cox have been great to work with and I scheduled our pool maintenance/cleaning at the same time as the Okaloosa engineers site survey so everything went very smooth. Amy at Coastal Pools was great and she answered any of the Okalossa engineers questions.

True.dat. However, another one of our objectives was to keep people not staying at our house from using the heat. We found out this was happening when we had two months with no rentals, yet a huge gas bill. Someone said they saw our hot tub being used, yet they weren't sure that the house was rented. Therefore, we need to keep it all locked up, and then we have to cover the expense of having someone come out, unlock it, turn it on, and then turn it off and lock it when the guests leave. We decided that it's just simpler to charge extra for the heat.tylerT said:
