As cooler air arrives, it’s easy to feel a little melancholy when looking at your pool. While pool owners in many areas close their pool in the winter, those in locations where the weather remains mild often keep their pool open year-round. Either way, if you want to have a little more swimming time as cooler temps set in, a pool heater might be the perfect solution.
Pros of Pool Heaters
Just like the name implies, pool heaters warm the water in your pool when it is an uncomfortably cool temperature. This can extend your swimming season earlier in spring and later in the fall by bringing your pool to a comfortable swimming temperature even when the air outside is a little chilly.
Not only will you be able to enjoy more time swimming and all the health benefits that come from the extra exercise, pool heaters also add value to your home, making it an investment in your life as a homeowner.
Cons of Pool Heaters
Despite their benefits, pool heaters aren’t a good fit for everyone. Often, determining if you would benefit from purchasing a pool heater depends on your pool use and preferences.
If you’re the type of person who swims at every available opportunity, then investing in a pool heater would be a great choice to give you a greater opportunity to do what you love. But if you only use your pool a few times during the year, then investing in a pool heater may not be the best choice, as you won’t benefit much from the extended swimming season.
