The type readings, priced apart by frame
| Repair type | Frame A reading | Frame B reading |
|---|---|---|
| Heater repair | $200-$700 | $150-$700+ |
| Pump repair | $300-$1,000 | $300-$1,000+ |
| Jet repair | $150-$500 | $150-$500+ |
| Leak repair | $200-$1,500 | $200-$1,500+ |
Each reading is one frame counting of one repair type in one job, never blended across types or frames. The heater lane and the pump lane stand apart on every table here, and a per-type row is never folded into a whole-spa ticket on this page.
The panel, shell, and line rows, priced apart inside each frame
| Row | Frame A reading | Frame B reading |
|---|---|---|
| Control panel row | $300-$1,200 | $300-$1,000 panel and board row |
| Shell row | $300-$1,200 | no shell row by that name |
| Plumbing row | $150-$500 | in by-type rows |
| Electrical row | $100-$450 | in by-type rows |
| Blower row | no blower row | $150-$500 |
| Thermostat row | no thermostat row | $100-$300 |
Rows present in one frame and absent in the other are printed as absent rather than filled from the other frame. The blower and thermostat rows stand in Frame B alone; the shell row stands in Frame A alone.
The totals behind the rows, priced apart
| Total line, as published | Frame | 2026 reading |
|---|---|---|
| Typical job, verified projects | Frame A | $181-$567 |
| Average job, 2,871 verified projects | Frame A | $350 |
| Technician labor, per hour | Frame B | $75-$200 |
| Filtration row, by type | Frame B | $75-$500 |
| Spa lights row, by type | Frame B | $75-$200 |
| Exterior cabinet row, by type | Frame B | $150-$1,000 |
The totals count the whole job behind the type rows: a type row prices the type lane, a total line prices the job, and no page adds type rows into one blended total. The frames count the same pump job on different bases -- a verified-project band at $300-$1,000 in Frame A against a by-type table row at $300-$1,000+ over hourly labor in Frame B. That difference is named as a frame difference on every page here, never averaged.
The neighbours named apart
Scope readings price apart on the companion guide. Named apart, never a row here: the hot tub installation ticket, hot tub removal, swim spa installation and repair, pool equipment repair, and whole-spa replacement packages, each in its own lane.
