Pool Heaters - Gas or Electric?
We are looking to install a pool heater for our inground pool. 28x12; Approx 8000 Gal.
We had the electric panel upgraded in anticipation of getting an electric heater, but now we're thinking gas may be a better option. Already know we'll need to install a gas line if we go that route. Upfront costs are one thing. We'd rather get an understanding of performance benefits/issues of each and monthly/annual operational and maintenance costs. We do plan to run the heater during the colder FL winter temps. Pros? Cons? Thoughts? Open to suggestions, but solar is not on the table. |

We have had 3 heat pump heaters and one solar in different homes over the last 25 years. The heat pumps have been fantastic! And very reasonable on electric bills.
Check on solar, but I don't think in heats enough in the winter. Something about only so many degrees above outside temperature.

Interesting. I hadn't thought about cooling it in the summer. More research coming up. Thank you!

Agree with the heater/chiller option. I also use a liquid cover and my costs have been minimal.
