Now is the time to consider extending your swimming season with a pool heater. You can make your investment last months longer each season. There are several kinds of pool heaters to choose from. The three basic types are solar heaters, gas/propane heaters, and heat pumps. Solar heaters allow you take advantage of the sun’s natural energy. Solar panels are virtually free to operate and super efficient. They are also environmentally friendly. Gas and propane heaters also offer excellent heating capacity. They represent a smaller upfront cost than solar heating so they are great for those on a tighter budget. They are perfect for a water temperature that is consistently comfortable and inviting. Heat pumps take heat from the air and transfer it to the pool water. This makes the heating process ecologically safe, clean, and cost-effective. Heat pumps operate even in the most frigid temperatures for warm water year round. No matter what kind of heating you choose, preparing now will ensure that you are swimming for months to come!
