My suggestion on off season heating is to invert your circulation hours to run at the coldest time of the night. By generating your warm water at night you'll lose less to transfer and let the daytime high temps help maintain the pool temp. Although you'll lose a little it won't be as bad as running the heater during the day and losing your water temp overnight.

I'm turning on our heaters tomorrow night so we can have a reasonable temp for the kids next week while their out of school for Spring Break.
I'll then nurse the temp until we come into the season where they're not necessary. In my area, SE Texas, this is usually around mid April to early May.

See ya
