What to know about Pool heating
Heating a pool is mostly a battle against evaporation, and the physics is unforgiving. Water leaving the surface as vapor takes an enormous amount of heat with it, which is why a heater sized for a pool with a cover and a heater sized for the same pool without one are not the same machine. EPA's WaterSense guidance says most heated pools are kept between 78 and 82 degrees Fahrenheit and that, depending on your location, each degree of increase could raise energy costs by 10 to 30 percent, and it notes that solid pool covers, in the case of heated pools, save between 50 and 70 percent of pool heating costs. That makes the cover, not the heater, the first decision.

How to choose pool technicians in Roanoke
- Choose a company that works on your type of pool or hot tub, whether it's in-ground, above-ground or a spa.
- For a new pool, ask who handles the permit, the fencing requirements and the electrical and gas connections.
- Make sure electrical and gas work for heaters, pumps and hot tubs is done by licensed trades.
- Get a written quote that covers excavation, backfill, equipment, decking and site restoration.
- For openings, closings and maintenance, ask exactly what each visit includes.
Questions to ask pool technicians before you hire
- Who will get the permit, and what fencing or gate rules will I need to meet?
- Who will do the electrical and gas hookups, and are they licensed?
- What equipment do you recommend, and why?
- What does the warranty cover for the pool shell or liner, the equipment and your installation?
- How will you get equipment into my yard, and how will you restore the lawn afterwards?
- What is included in an opening, closing or maintenance visit?
Pool heating permits in Virginia
Some pool heating work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.

Pool Contractors guide
Hiring a pool contractor in the United States means answering two questions before anything else: what credential this person is supposed to hold where you live, and what your contract says about money.

Pool Installation guide
Building a pool in an American backyard is two projects running together. One is construction: excavation, plumbing, a shell, an equipment pad, a circuit out to it and a deck around it.

Pool Renovation guide
Renovating a pool is not simply a cosmetic decision, because in several states pulling a permit to remodel resets safety obligations that an older pool was never held to. California is the clearest case.
