It’s a well-known fact that the weather in Florida remains sunny and relatively warm for the vast majority of the year. This has led to a large number of people to live in Florida specifically for the climate, and many homes often have a pool in the backyard. For many, this setup is a dream come true!
“Winter” in Florida can mean temperatures in the 50’s, which isn’t the ideal temperature for most people swimming or enjoying their pool. This is where solar power can be a big help. Solar pool heaters can keep your pool’s water at the perfect temperature without affecting your energy bill and allow you to enjoy your swimming pool throughout most of the year in Florida. These systems usually work best when the desired temperature of the pool is above 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
Solar pool heaters use solar power generated from a set of panels. When paired with a pool cover to retain heat overnight, these systems can be remarkably effective and cost-effective. Because these systems have few to no moving parts, they are also far more reliable than other types of pool heaters, outlasting them by many years and requiring much less maintenance over their usable lifespan.
If you are interested in solar pool heaters, contact a local pool company or solar power company to make an inquiry. They should be more than willing to give you a free estimate and to answer any questions you may have about using solar power to heat your pool.
