As a installer just look at the facts. BTUs are BTUs. The ops are telling you to use gas, ok let's do the math. Your average home furnace is between 60-100 BTUs.
Imagine running 4/6 of them at a time.Second check with your roof contractors because most will void your warranty with non approved penetrations. A new heat pump of today's standard will more than adequately heat your pool in Florida weather! New heat pumps heat down to the 20 degree zone and are deadly efficient if sized correctly!!! Ask the ops how many times there emergency heat comes on in there house through out the winter, I can tell you,only to defrost,and how many times do we have frost. Remember just because everyone else has make ill fated technology related decisions, you don't have to. If heat pumps don't work why are they in stalled in so many homes up north!! Just the facts. They do work!!!
Thanks for the info. I'm getting ready to ditch solar and heat mine with a heat pump.
Can you tell me who you install for?
