Summer pests make for costly winter repairs

When the swim season hits, we tend to forget about our heaters.  I can't tell you how many late-fall season calls I've gotten about heaters not working only to find that, over the summer, rodents found it to be a fantastic place to nest.  Often entire wiring harnesses have been chewed through. Sometimes the cost of the repairs justify replacing the entire heater.  This is costly and avoidable.  

So while you're enjoying the warm weather, just go ahead and fire up that heater from time to time. That should help keep the pests away and your heater healthy for the months that you'll want to use it again.

Manufacturers have taken notice of this rodent issue and are now building their heaters to be less accessible to the various rodents who like to call pool heaters their home. One such model is the Jandy JXI heater.

Not only is it an efficient model with a comparatively small footprint, it's built in a way that lets rodents know there is and never will be any vacancies. As always, contact us for any information regarding your pool/spa heater repair or replacement.
