Gas vs. Heat Pump Pool Heater Options

No matter how you heat your pool, you can count on Hawkins Service Company to offer repairs. We understand the need for having both gas pool heaters and pool heat pumps on the market and have studied how each design works to effectively provide these repairs to get you back in the water. If you are having issues deciding which to buy for your pool, we have listed some considerations for both. We want to help give you a better understanding of what you’re buying:

Gas Pool Heaters

The main benefit of having a gas pool heater is you can run it throughout the entire year and get the same results as long as you have the gas. This extra cost could be seen as a con depending on the price of gas. You can also run these on propane gas, which may be more affordable. So, while the upfront cost is cheaper than a pool heat pump, you will be spending more to keep it going.

 

Another thing to think about is this option runs best in small bursts to heat the water quickly. You will have to turn it off and on to maintain the heat during your dip.

Pool Heat Pumps

These heat pumps run off electricity and are safer for the environment. Pool heat pumps work for in-ground and above-ground pools. These devices take heat from the outside air and transfer it to the water. For it to work at its most efficient operation, the air should be 45 degrees or warmer.

 

And while the initial cost may be higher, you will notice they last longer than gas ones by up to 10 years and cost less to run throughout the year on average.

Understanding the Fundamentals of Pool Heaters

Heat pump systems for your pool work in a similar fashion to the pump that heats your home. Rather than generating heat, a heat pump uses electricity to capture heat and direct it from one place to another. A pool heat pump circulates the pool’s water by passing it through a filter and the heater itself. The fan in the heat pump draws outside air and directs it over an evaporator coil, which absorbs the heat and turns it into a gas. The gas then passes through a compressor to increase its intensity before a condenser transfers heat to the water, ultimately elevating your pool’s temperature.

5 Benefits of Having a Pool Heater

  1. Energy-efficient operation: Heat pump pool heaters use minimal energy to extract heat from the air and move it to the water in your pool.
  2. Extended swimming: They make it possible to comfortably use your pool throughout the year, regardless of weather. The warmer water also makes the pool more comfortable, allowing you to extend your daily swim.
  3. Adds value to your home: Pools are a nice feature that can increase the value of your home. Heated ones make your home even more valuable and enticing to prospective buyers.
  4. Consistent heating: These systems are designed to ensure consistent water temperature throughout the pool.
  5. Longevity: Modern versions are designed to be durable and reliable. Proper maintenance and attention to repairs can ensure your pool heater lasts 10, 20, even up to 25 years.

6 Common Pool Heater Issues

As with all mechanical systems, pool heaters can develop issues as they age. Some of the most common pool heater issues our technicians encounter include:

  • Odd noises: Whistling, banging, or clanking can indicate clogs, loose components, leaks, and other malfunctions.
  • “Sweating”: This can be caused by excessive condensation or a system leak.
  • Failure to initiate: Pool heaters that won’t initiate can be caused by faulty timers, clogged filters, loose wiring, or other issues that require prompt attention.
  • Wrong temperature: This can be due to improper thermostat settings or because of a defective thermostat.
  • Rust: Corrosion and rust on the pool heater can occur due to exposure to both water and chemicals. 
  • Pressure problems: Too little or too much pressure requires immediate attention. These issues can occur due to leaks, component malfunctions, faulty sensors, or a number of other problems.

FAQs

Many Florida homeowners don’t think they need a pool heater. After all, Florida is hot enough on its own. But if you plan to swim well into the fall or open up your pool in the early spring, it’s a good idea to invest in a pool heater. Hawkins Service Company can help you install a new unit and extend your swimming season by a few months.

We purchased our pool through a longtime local company thinking they would be there for us when a repair need arose, but sadly, they were not interested in servicing us and wanted to charge a service all fee, even when we were still under warranty. They recommended we call Hawkins and have them come out instead.…
