The single automation installation job split, stated head-on first
| Frame | What it counts | 2026 band |
|---|---|---|
| Frame A | standard system row, installed | $4,000-$6,000 |
| Frame A | basic system row, installed | $2,500 |
| Frame B | total installed row, by tier | $800-$5,500 |
| Equipment frame | equipment hub FAQ line, installed | $1,500-$3,500 |
This cluster prices the single pool automation installation job alone, by system tier. Named apart, never a row here: the pool equipment replacement hub (whole-pad replacement), the pool equipment upgrades page (a payback ranking in which automation is one row), the pool pump repair cluster (item 1759) and the pool heater repair cluster (item 1761) -- single-equipment repair tickets an automation install may accompany but never includes -- and smart-home installation (whole-home systems, a different field). The site own equipment-frame lines stand named apart too: the equipment hub FAQ line at $1,500-$3,500 installed and the upgrades page line at $2,000-$5,000 for a full system, neither blended into either frame.
Frame A lines, as reported: the installer tier frame, by tier
| Frame A tier line, as printed | 2026 band |
|---|---|
| Basic scheduling row | $2,500 installed |
| Standard multi-feature control row | $4,000-$6,000 |
| Premium integrated row | $6,500-$8,500 |
| Exact cost read row | by equipment controlled |
Frame A counts an installer tier table: the exact cost on a given pool is read by the equipment the system controls, and the tier rows stand apart inside the frame.
Frame B lines, as reported: the equipment-plus-install frame, by tier
| Frame B line, as printed | 2026 band |
|---|---|
| System equipment row | $500-$4,000+ |
| Total installed row, by tier | $800-$5,500 or more |
| Upgrades page line, equipment frame | $2,000-$5,000 for a full system |
| Equipment hub FAQ line, equipment frame | $1,500-$3,500 installed |
Frame B counts an equipment-plus-install build-up, and the two standing site lines stand inside it named as equipment-frame lines, never blended into either frame. The frames count the same job on different bases -- an installer tier table in Frame A (basic systems at $2,500 installed, standard systems at $4,000-$6,000, premium systems at $6,500-$8,500) against an equipment-plus-install build-up in Frame B (system equipment at $500-$4,000+, total installed at $800-$5,500 or more by tier). The standard system is counted two ways across them -- named as frame differences on every page, never averaged.

What do the standing site lines print at, as reported?
The equipment hub FAQ line prints automation at $1,500 to $3,500 installed, and the upgrades page prints $2,000 to $5,000 for a full system. Each stands named as the equipment-frame line it is, never blended into either frame.
Is an automation install the same purchase as replacing the equipment pad?
No. This cluster prices fitting a control system to an existing pool equipment pad. Whole-pad replacement stands on its own hub, named apart here.
