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.

Excellent company, thorough, responsive, and all around amazing!! I'm so happy with my new A/C unit, attic turbine, and solar hot water heater. It has already saved me money on my electric bill.

This company worked very hard to remove my very old water heater. They did an excellent job installing my new one. Very professional, and kind. Willing to answer my questions also. Thank you.

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% disappearance 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!

My experience with the team at Florida Energy Water & Air has been very positive throughout the whole process. I purchased the water treatment and air purification systems for my new home. Jack, the sales representative, did a very impressive job making the 2-hour demo fun, engaging, and interesting. I had no idea how much time had passed until it was over because he did such a great job keeping my attention. The installation was performed by Robenson a few hours later that same day! He was very professional and did a great job with the installation. I wasn’t a big fan of drilling a hole through my garage to run the water pipe, but he made the hole as small as possible and it looks like the house was built that way. He and his partner did a great job cleaning up after themselves. Finally, John was very friendly, professional, informative, and helpful during the post-installation quality inspection. Overall, it has been a very positive experience.
