Is $900 to replace the control board on a Mastertemp heater a fair price?
Project Details
My pool pump and heater were zapped by lightning. The insurance adjuster came out and determined that the pump's issue (turns on then zaps out, makes a buzz) is due to wear and tear, not lightning damage, and they don't want to replace the pump or filter. The cartridge filter is universal and can be used with new equipment. I also lost electricity to my pool outlets, dryer, and a TV, which were approved by insurance, but they are disputing the pool equipment. I'm seeking thoughts on the adjuster's assessment.

The insurance adjuster assessed the Mastertemp heater, which has no electricity and cannot turn on, and also shocked someone when plugged in. The adjuster believes the issue is not lightning-related and recommends replacing only the control board. - Heater Model: Mastertemp - Issue: No electricity, cannot turn on, caused electric shock when plugged in - Adjuster's Diagnosis: Not lightning zapped, needs control board - Proposed Work: Replace control board only
