In our area, we have plenty of warm, sunny weather to enjoy, but fluctuating temps can make the swimming season feel shorter than intended. Spring mornings can be frigid, fall evenings can swiftly cool down, and even summer storms can cause pool water temps to dip. This is where pool heaters come in, allowing you to get the most out of your swimming time.
Pool Heaters Offer Increased Control
A pool heater allows you to open your pool earlier in the spring and swim through the fall. Instead of waiting for a few hot days to naturally warm the water, you can swim anytime you want to. This increased control is especially beneficial for families that use their pools in the evenings, host weekend gatherings, or wish to exercise on a regular basis.
Options for Pool Heaters
Homeowners can pick from a variety of heating options. Heat pumps transfer heat from the surrounding air and are an energy-efficient option for North Carolina’s comparatively moderate environment. Gas heaters heat water quickly, making them ideal for pools that are used sporadically or on short notice. Solar pool heaters use solar energy; however, their efficiency varies depending on the weather and available installation space.
Pool Heaters and Pool Covers
Combining a heater with a quality pool cover can help you get even more out of your pool. A cover reduces evaporation and prevents heat from leaving overnight, keeping the water warmer and potentially saving electricity.
