Efficient Ways To Heat Your Florida Swimming Pool
If you live in Florida and have a swimming pool you may be looking for efficient ways to heat your Florida swimming pool so you can extend your swim time. Using a swimming pool heat pump will serve to heat the water in an energy-efficient way.
How does a heat pump work?
A heat pump transfers heat from one area to another, through electricity. A heat pump doesn’t generate heat. It uses the ambient air to heat the pool water by pulling the air into a heat pump, warming it and transferring that heat to your pool water. To maximize savings you will want to work with a pool professional to assure the heat pump you have installed is properly sized to your unique pool.

Bigger isn’t necessarily better when it comes to sizing a heat pump for your swimming pool. The proper sizing will depend on myriad factors which include:
- The average temperature you’d like the pool water to be
- Know the average temperature of the coldest month where you live, and for the month you want to use the pool
- How much will the temperature of the water have to rise, during the coldest month you want to use the pool, to get it to the
temperature you want for the water - What is the square footage of the swimming pool
- Where is the pool located? What are the wind and sun conditions of the pool’s location? For example if it’s protected from wind and in the sun it will take less energy to warm the water than if the pool is completely shaded and in a windy location
Invest in a heat pump that has a high energy efficiency rating.
