I live in Novato, and recently replaced my pump with a Intelliflo VS while getting Heliocol Solar panels at the same time. The Solar installers installed the pump because I was able to purchase through them, but I did call around and most pool companies (Herbs, Leslies, ect...) will install your pump even if you don't purchase from them. I was getting quotes between $250-$300 for install. Could be more depending on size of job. If I were you, I would buy the pump from a local pool store and they will install for free with purchase. You may end up paying more if you buy separate then have it installed.
