What Type of Pool Heater Is Best for Tampa Homeowners?
The first decision to make when considering a pool heater for your home is what type of heater you want to get. For most Tampa homeowners, the clear choice is a solar pool heater. Read on to learn about the different types of pool heaters and why a solar heater is the frontrunner for so many Floridians.
Types of Pool Heaters
There are three main types of pool heaters:
- Gas – A gas pool heater burns propane or natural gas to heat pool water as it’s pumped through copper coils.
- Electric – Electric pumps either generate heat using electricity (electric resistance heaters) or extract heat from the air via an electric-powered unit (heat pumps).
- Solar – Solar panels are used to collect the sun’s radiant heat, which is used to heat the water as it passes through the collectors.
Reasons Why Tampa Homeowners Opt for a Solar Pool Heater
While several factors may play a role in a homeowner’s decision – such as the size of the pool and preferred water temperature – the monthly cost of running the heater and the abundance of Florida sunshine almost always steer Tampa homeowners toward a solar pool heater. Whereas a gas or electric heater could cost $200 to $600 per month to run, solar energy is free – and there’s certainly plenty of sunshine in Florida. What’s more, a solar heater is environmentally friendly, as it doesn’t use fossil fuels and produces no waste.

Tony Spinney was an awesome installer! He was on time, very pleasant, and explained everything thoroughly. He was very accommodating. He changed the install layout to fit our system in our tiny 1 car garage. So grateful!
I recently purchased a water conditioning system from Florida Energy and Air, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the entire experience. From the initial consultation to the final installation, the team demonstrated professionalism, knowledge, and a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction.
HIGHLY recommend hiring this staff and company for your home needs.
Tony, the technician/plumber from Florida Energy Water & Air, was most pleasant, knowledgeable, professional. He arrived on completed the replacement of very old water heater including nearly 100% disappeance of the "knocking noise" in less than an hour, and cleaned up the work area very nicely at the end. I highly recommend his and FEWA to anyone needing these kind of services. Thanks Tony !
