Pool Heaters

Extend Your Swimming Season with a Pool Heater

Why let the cooler months cut your swimming season short? A pool heater is the key to getting the most out of your pool, allowing you and your family to swim comfortably for longer well beyond the typical summer months. Instead of closing up your pool when the temperatures start to drop, a heater keeps the water warm and inviting, giving you more time to enjoy your investment.

For Canadian pool owners especially, a pool heater is a game changer. It can significantly extend your swimming season from just a few short months to nearly six or more months of enjoyment. Whether you choose gas, heat pump, or propane, a pool heater is one of the best upgrades you can make adding comfort, value, and countless more hours of fun in the water for the whole family.

Natural Gas Pool Heaters

Gas pool heaters are available in natural gas or propane models, suitable for both above ground and inground pools. There are two ignition options to choose from: millivolt (standing pilot) or electronic ignition.

Millivolt models use a continuous pilot light and require no electrical connection, though they are slightly less efficient and can be difficult to re-lit on windy days. Electronic ignition models are the modern standard, offering precise temperature control at the touch of a button and greater energy efficiency making millivolt heaters increasingly obsolete.

For eco-conscious owners, Low NOx heaters are an excellent choice, producing lower emissions, faster water warming, reduced operating costs, and the ability to perform reliably at altitudes above 2,000 feet.

Propane Pool Heaters

For pool owners without access to a natural gas line, a propane pool heater is an excellent alternative that delivers the same powerful and reliable performance. Since propane is stored in an on-site tank, these heaters can be installed virtually anywhere, making them a perfect solution for rural or remote properties ideal for Canadian pool owners who want the reliability of a gas heater without a dedicated gas line. Available in a range of sizes and BTU outputs for both above-ground and inground pools, and compatible with millivolt and electronic ignition systems, a propane pool heater is a fantastic and flexible heating solution.

Heat Pumps For Pools

Heat pumps are an increasingly popular and energy-efficient alternative to traditional gas pool heaters. Rather than generating heat directly, they work by extracting warmth from the surrounding air and transferring it into your pool water, making them significantly more energy efficient than gas-powered heaters. For every unit of electricity consumed, heat pumps produce multiple units of heat, making them a very cost-effective long-term heating solution.

Heat pumps work best when outdoor temperatures are above 4 degrees Celsius, making them ideal for spring, summer, and early fall. In cooler regions in Canada. While the initial purchase price may be higher than a gas heater, the energy savings over time make it a smart investment. As an added bonus, heat pumps produce fewer emissions than gas heaters, making them a greener, more environmentally friendly choice for pool owners.
