I have mentioned to my wife at least 10 times per year that I want to get a pool heater. It is on top of my list to Santa every year but I guess I am chronically on the naughty list. The other day she shocked me with the response of "well find out how much it all would cost and then we will talk". I never expected to get anything other than "no way" so I am stumped.
Does anyone have a list of items I need to research to determine a true all-in cost? I have always assumed I would get a natural gas heater for quick heat-up on random warm days in spring but I wouldn't be opposed to a heat pump either. I would need at least 150k btu for gas but could likely go up to 250k. That is about all the research I have done so far.
I have a gas line for my fireplace starter not too far from my equipment pad. I assume I would need to have another 20A-40A breaker installed if I went the route of a heat pump.
