Why Geothermal Is Best For Pool Water Heating
If you don’t want to cover your pool for the winter months, we can give you a myriad of reasons why geothermal is best for pool water
heating and the number one reason... you can swim almost year-round!
Winter in Englewood, Florida may not be what winter is in other parts of the country, but there still may be times when the swimming pool water is simply too cold. When that happens you wish you had taken the time to talk with someone about how to be able to comfortably swim all winter long in warm water.
Heating the pool water with a heat pump is an economical way to do just that. A geothermal heat pump is energy-efficient and warms the water in the summer, fall, winter and spring. When you can swim year-round it is ideal, right? Who doesn’t want to spend time with friends and family in the pool exercising, having a party or simply relaxing? When you have a geothermal heat pump installed you will be swimming even on the coldest of Florida winter days.
Why Geothermal Is Best For Pool Water Heating
Heat pumps move heat from one space to another and rely on ambient air to help heat the pool water. Even in the winter in Florida, there is still enough ambient air warmth to allow the heat pump to perform its job and warm the pool water.
A heat pump either uses the ambient air or it extracts heat from the stable underground temperatures and sends it to a geothermal heat pump. Geothermal heat pumps are more energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly than any other type of heat pump system.
No matter what the temperatures above ground are, the temperatures underground are always stable. You will pay more upfront for a geothermal pool heat pump but the return on your investment will be realized over time and you will have money back in your pocket!
When you choose to have a geothermal heat pump system installed one of our geothermal commercial or residential service technicians will work with you to help determine the correct size for the heat pump system. Our geothermal installation professionals look at:
- The surface area of the pool
- Average daytime high temperatures
- Nighttime low temperatures
- Wind exposure
- Humidity levels
- How warm you want the average water temperature
Geothermal systems for swimming pools differ from those in a house because a house goes by “tonnage” and a pool heater is measured in BTU output and horsepower.
