Do You Need a Pool Heater?

Generally speaking, most people don't want to swim in cold water. The right temperature for a pool will vary based on your preference, as well as where you're from. But a pool heater is essential for many homeowners because it allows you to control the temperature of your pool.

During the hot summer months, you may not even need to heat the pool: the sun will do that work for you. But if you want to take a dip during the colder winter months, a heater is essential. To put it simply, a heater allows you to swim year-round. If you've already spent the money required to build a pool, or to buy a home that already has a pool, don't you want to use it as often as possible?

A pool heater is important for ensuring you have control over the level of comfort people have while swimming in the pool. While you may choose to purchase one yourself, it's useful to get the opinion of experts: we can let you know how much power your pool heater needs to have, given the size of your pool. As well, we can help you find the quietest pool heaters.

Which Pool Heater is Right for You?

There are three different kinds of pool heaters, which are distinguished by how they're powered: electric pool heaters, gas pool hearts, and solar powered pool heaters.

Electric pool heaters are popular because they're cheap to maintain. That said, they're somewhat expensive to purchase initially and they heat your pool slowly. Gas pool heaters are a cheaper initial purchase, and they heat your pool more quickly. That said, they usually add more to your monthly heating costs. Solar powered pool heaters are a great option for eco-conscious homeowners, though they're usually the most expensive heater to initially purchase. Depending on the amount of sun they get, they can sometimes be the cheapest option long-term.
