Solar Pool Heater Q & A for Residents of Sarasota, FL
If you own a pool in Sarasota, Florida, then having a solar pool heater installed is well worth your time looking into. The Florida Solar Energy Center, a research institute affiliated with the University of Central Florida, provides a wealth of information regarding solar pool heating technology and its many benefits. The FSEC has compiled a list of frequently asked questions that it has received over the years from swimming pool owners interested in “going solar.” Some of those questions and the FSEC’s answers to them are summarized and reproduced below: Q: How does a solar pool heater work? A: When enough sunlight is available, the pool water is pumped through a series of roof-mounted solar energy collectors, where it is heated to a more comfortable swimming temperature and then returned to the pool. Q: How expensive is it to heat a pool using a standard gas or electric heater? A: Heating an average-sized residential pool in Sarasota, FL, will likely cost about $1,500 a year when an electric heater is used. Heaters utilizing natural gas cost maybe one-third that much to run per year. Q: How much money can you save by having a solar pool heating system installed instead of a gas or electric system? A: Fully installed, a typical solar pool heating system will cost between $2,000 and $4,000. Following a payback period of one-and-a-half to seven years, you will enjoy naturally heated pool water for free. Factors affecting the length of your payback period include the cost of the system, the amount of sunlight your collectors receive, and building code requirements.

From what I saw in the beginning and the end, there was a huge difference. It was a job well done. It worth my time and money. And everyone should give it a try.
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.
The experience with all aspects from the presentation to installation and inspection was great. Glenn who presented was kind, informative and extremely helpful in finding the right system for us. The installer Robinson was extremely professional with the installation did a great job and John was also great in explaining the finance and perks!! Overall 10/10
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.
Great customer service. Jean Amaro was especially helpful and took care of my issues and concerns personally. Technicians were friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend their services.
