Electric Pool Heater

There are many pool heater options, including electric, solar, gas, and propane. However, not all pool heaters are suitable for every application. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, making it challenging to choose the best one to suit your pool needs. You may be curious about how exactly our electric pool heater in Cape Coral, FL works, but before we go into the logistics, it’s essential to note that there are two types of electric pool heaters: electric heat pumps and electric resistance heaters.

Electric Resistance Heaters: Electric currents are generated from electric resistance heaters. Electric resistance heaters can quickly convert electrical energy into heat through the addition of a heating element or metal resistor that runs throughout the unit. The heat is absorbed as the water flows through the system and over the heating element, and the heated water courses back into the pool. The cycle will continue until the desired temperature has been reached.
Electric Heat Pumps: A heat pump is the other type of electric pool heater. A heat pump sources heat from the ambient air and transfers it to the water. There are coils inside the heat pump, and within those coils are liquid refrigerants. When the heat that has been pulled from the air comes in contact with the coils inside, the liquid refrigerant turns into a gas and then travels through a compressor which then moves the condenser that heats the water.

Future with Solar

Beyond requiring electricity, electric heat pumps and electric resistance heaters don’t have very many similarities. For example, electric resistance heaters can perform sufficiently regardless of the outdoor temperature and are ideal for fast, intermittent pool heating since they source their heat from electricity. Electric heat pumps are more suited for constant heating and are much more energy-efficient than electric resistance heaters. The energy costs of an electric heat pump during warm weather can be up to 85% less than electric resistance heaters, but as soon as the outdoor ambient air temperature drops below 60℉, its efficiency decreases.

The Cost Of Installing An Electric Pool Heater

The price of installing an electric pool heater varies, depending on the heater’s size and if any additional components are needed, i.e., electric run to pool equipment and concrete pad. The cost to install an electric pool heater is within a typical range of $3,000-$5,000, including installation labor. The additional components can add about $1,500 if needed. Depending on multiple factors, including the size of the heater, how often you run your heater, etc., it can cost an additional $100 to $600 per month!

The Process:

  • Consultation: We assess your energy needs and recommend the best battery solution.
  • Installation: Our certified technicians install and configure the system.
  • Ongoing Support: We provide maintenance and monitoring to ensure optimal performance.

The Benefits Of Solar Electric

The choice is yours. Heat pumps provide fairly reliable temperatures most of the year, but at a cost, as long as you plan ahead. Solar pool heaters reliably heat your pool a certain number of degrees above an unheated pool every day of the year, but cannot achieve a set temperature if it exceeds the capability of the system. Solar pool heaters and electric heat pumps are both weather-dependent technology in different ways, and at some times solar pool heaters and electric heat pumps may not be able to work at all. For example, solar pool heaters do not work at night, so pool heating needs to be done during the day. Heat pumps don’t work when the temperature gets very cool, and if they do they cost an arm and a leg to operate.
Solar pool heaters can complement an electric heat pump very well (or vice-versa). If your budget allows, you can install both systems. The solar pool heater will do the heavy lifting by heating your pool every day and maintaining higher average temperatures so your heat pump will run less (far less). Automation systems can make this marriage work seamlessly. It is a common situation to have a homeowner or commercial owner that is tired of high electric bills install solar panels to reduce the electricity costs. In fact, in many situations where we add a solar pool heater to an existing heat pump, owners report never using the heat pump again, or use the heat pump only for spa heating. In the end, the combination, or hybrid system as we call it, can be the best of both worlds. Unlike solar energy, which is affected by levels of sunshine or gas heaters that can be affected by extreme temperatures, electricity is a constant in our day-to-day lives. This makes the electric pool heater the most reliable pool heater you can own, but can be costly to run, especially if you like your pool very warm. So another significant benefit of electric pool heaters is their versatility, you can pair both an electric pool heater and a solar pool heater together, saving you money! This is a significant perk for those who live in areas where the summer air can cause pools to morph into extra-large hot tubs.
