The Best Pool Heating Options - Pool Heaters vs. Heat Pumps

Pool heaters and heat pumps make it possible to extend your swimming season and enjoy the warmer water in the pool but how do you decide which choice is best for you?

Let's start talking about the difference between a pool heater and a heat pump. Heat pumps use electricity to capture heat and transfer it from one place to another and they do not generate heat like a gas or propane heater. Gas and propane heaters generally use more energy than heat pumps because they need to create heat, instead of transfer it. Here is what you will need to consider to choose the best option for you.

Consider Where You Live

In order to work properly, heat pumps need to be in an area where the air temperature is about 7 degree Celsius or higher year around. That is because they operate by collecting in the outside air and converting it to heat. The higher the air temperature, the more they can extract and convert in warmer water. Pool heaters, on the other hand, can be used anywhere, regardless of climate.
