In South Florida, we are lucky to have warm temperatures all year round. However, sometimes our water temperature may not reflect that. At Treasure Pools, we specialize in creating the most custom and ideal swimming pool and backyard oasis for your needs. When it comes to swimming pool heaters, we also have various options for homeowners to choose from. Here we discuss some of the most popular options.
A gas heater has historically been the most commonly used pool heater in homes. As technology and homes begin to change, so is this. In order to support a gas swimming pool heater, the home must have access to gas or a direct gas line. These units are very high powered and can give you the most heat output.
Another option for homes is an electric heater. These are the most commonly used currently. They are not as powerful as the gas heaters, but do work well. Being that they are not as powerful, they are typically used for spas or hot tubs.
The newest addition to the bunch is an A/C heater. These are a more popular option for South Florida homeowners as they can additionally cool the water in the summer when temperatures can reach upwards of 100 degrees! With this heater, you will get the best of both worlds.
Now that we have reviewed the types of heaters, we also like to note that being energy efficient is avery important as well. Homeowners can install a solar system to their house as well as a heater. The solar panels will heat the water 8-12 degrees temperature difference, resulting in only having to use your heater to heat a few most degrees. This is happening naturally during the day vs. having to run a heater at all times (which can get quite costly). This route is the most energy efficient and economical for homeowners.
