I am mostly trying to figure out who I need to talk to about this -- Plumber, pool contractor, someone else.
We currently have a house with gas heat and water heater and have gas heat to the pool. We can heat the pool and the spa. We bought the house existing so I have no idea where the gas line is for the pool. Specifically, I don't know if it goes through the house or if it is a separate gas line to the pool.
We are going to be replacing our HVAC system and water heater and probably will end up with a heat pump system and tankless electric water heater.
At that point, we could basically turn off our natural gas service but for the pool. I've looked at options in our area and gas heat for the pool is the only feasible option. That's fine.
But, ideally, I would prefer not to have the gas line come through the house if it didn't have to. If it doesn't come through the house then we could simply turn off all gas to the house and wouldn't have to ever worry about safety issues related to gas in the house.
So - what I want to know is:
1. Does the existing pool gas line go through the house? If no, then I assume I could just turn off the gas to the house and leave it running to the pool.
2. If yes, is it economically feasible to re-route it to just go directly to the pool heater?
What I don't know is how do I find out the answers to these questions. Do I ask a plumber or find a pool contractor (we do have a pool service company) or someone else?
