A pool heater in Sagaponack is the difference between a pool that is used in May and September and one that is used in August, and it is the most expensive thing on the equipment pad. We put Sagaponack pool owners in touch with one licensed, insured pool company that installs heaters every spring, and we publish the 2026 ranges and running costs so the quote reads plainly.
Heaters in Sagaponack: what's different here
Large estates on open former potato fields running down to the ocean and Sagg Pond, with 20×40 gunite pools, spas, pool houses and automatic covers on the scale of the houses, a few old farmhouses along Sagg Main Street, and almost no tree cover south of the highway.
In Sagaponack the heater lives in salt spray. Specify a cupro-nickel heat exchanger, a cabinet and pad placement out of the wind if the lot allows, and a screened enclosure that still breathes; expect the gas unit to live toward the short end of its 7–12 years. A heat pump, which runs longer and cooler, tolerates the exposure better and costs a third as much to run.
The fields run open to the ocean and Sagg Pond with almost no windbreak, so covers, equipment pads and salt cells see salt and wind comparable to Montauk; Sagg Pond carries Town Trustee jurisdiction and wetland setbacks. Village rules allow construction 7am–7pm with Sundays prohibited, and Saturday hours have been a live local controversy; confirm current hours before scheduling a multi-week build or renovation.
Permits in Sagaponack run through the Village of Sagaponack Building Department; the pool specialist we put you in touch with handles the filing where one is required.

FAQ
Heaters questions
Should I convert my Hamptons pool to salt?
Probably, if you own the pool for the long run and fix the corrosion details. A conversion costs $500–3,500 (about $1,000 typical: a $600–2,000 generator plus $100–500 to install; no draining if the water is balanced). Ongoing chemicals drop to under $100 a year against $175–800 for chlorine, the water is softer, and there is no chlorine to store. The recurring cost is the cell: $200–1,800 depending on which of four sources you believe, every 3–6 years, roughly $200–360 a year. The catch is corrosion: copper heat exchangers, soft limestone or natural-cleft coping, and steel hardware near the water. On the South Fork that means a cupro-nickel heater exchanger and sealed bluestone or porcelain coping, and near the ocean the salt was already in the air anyway.
How does Georgica Pool Co. work, and what does it cost me?
It costs homeowners nothing. You tell us about the pool once, roughly sixty seconds: where it is, what kind it is if you know, what it needs, and when. We put you in touch with one licensed, insured pool company that works your town and does that kind of work, service company or builder as the job requires, and they call you within one business day to look at it and quote it directly. We are a Hamptons-only referral service, not a pool company, and we are named for the pond, not connected to any business or property that shares the name: one company, and nobody else gets your number. Participating companies pay us a referral fee.
