Many people naturally assume that all pool companies close during the winter (I guess the idea of installing a swimming pool in January does seem a little odd.) However, many pool companies, like ours for example, install inground pools year round.
We have this love/hate relationship with the winter months. It’s a chance to catch our breath from the rush of the pool season, but because people aren’t exactly thinking about swimming when it’s 30 degrees outside, they aren’t beating the doors down to buy pools. Hence, the highly coveted winter discount.
Well, I guess that depends on the pool company. But in our case, yes…you can absolutely save a substantial amount of money with a winter installation compared to a peak season installation.
Our customers will typically save between $3,000-$6,000 depending on several factors:
For us, winter discounts begin around Thanksgiving and end in February.
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
After completing hundreds of winter installations over the years, I can confidently say that it’s a win/win for all parties. The pool company gets to stay busy and the customer saves some serious money. That’s it for now, hope that helped.
