Hi everyone, my heater is or has been on the fritz for some time. It's pretty old and probably near end of life, but also probably serviceable. It's an older Hayward, dont' have the model offhand.
I wanted to know what I could expect to pay for a new heater and installation (assuming same spot, no new significant routing/plumbing, gas or wiring.)
We really don't use the heater often and in fact haven't used it in the 3 yrs we've owned the house. However, I might consider using it if (a) I could open the pool earlier in the year and close later and (b) if it didnt cost an arm and a leg to warm the pool up occasionally.
I just bought a new variable Pentair pump last year as well as an entirely new filter, so my heater is the only "old" thing presently.
Thanks!

- What can I expect to pay for a long lasting heater?
- How much does it cost roughly (I can provide gas cost if you know the formula) to raise temperature 1 degree in a 32k gallon pool?
- Does it make sense to buy a higher end super efficient model if I only intend to use for early/late season the majority of the time?
- Should I just try to service my existing heater and keep it going
Thanks!
