Swim Season Doesn't Have to End in September
Nothing worse than a beautiful October day and your pool's too cold to use. You spent all that money on a pool, but can only enjoy it three months? That's crazy.
Just fixed a heater in Westwood yesterday. Family was closing their pool early every year, missing gorgeous fall swimming weather. Their heater had been broken for two seasons - they just assumed it was "too expensive" to fix. Turned out to be a $200 pressure switch. Now they're swimming til November.

Why Pool Heaters Fail in Bergen County
Pool heaters take abuse. Chemicals, weather, neglect - they endure it all. Most people don't even think about maintenance until water stays cold.
Heater Killers We See Every Spring
-
Mice nesting in heaters over winter
-
Corrosion from improper chemistry
-
Leaves and debris clogging everything
-
Freeze damage from poor winterization
-
Spiders in gas orifices (seriously)
-
Electrical components corroded
That gorgeous pool in your Westwood backyard? The heater's probably suffering right now. Sitting there through winter, collecting problems, waiting to fail when you first fire it up in May.
What to Do Right Now (Before We Arrive)
Check the Obvious
Is gas valve open? Pilot lit? Electrical breaker on? Filter clean? These solve half our service calls. Save yourself service charge.
Test Your Water Chemistry
Bad chemistry destroys heaters fast. pH too low eats heat exchangers. Too high causes scaling. Both mean expensive repairs or replacement.
Clear Around Heater
Needs airflow. Leaves, mulch, pool toys blocking vents cause problems. Mice love cluttered areas for nesting. Keep it clear.

Hidden Money Drains
Running constantly but not heating? That's hundreds in wasted gas monthly. Corroded heat exchanger? Dangerous carbon monoxide risk. Undersized heater? Never reaches temperature, runs forever.
Had a Demarest customer whose gas bill was $800/month. Heater was only 40% efficient from scale buildup. New heater cut bill by 60%.
Diagnostic Testing First
Check gas pressure, water flow, combustion efficiency. Test safety controls, verify venting. Measure temperature rise. Data tells truth.
Repair vs Replace Analysis
Sometimes $500 repair makes sense. Sometimes better to upgrade. We calculate efficiency gains, expected lifespan, total cost comparison. Honest recommendations.
Safety Inspection Always
