Solar Pool Heating Vs. Heat Pump Pool Heating

When looking at pool heating, there will be 2 types of systems that you will be looking at. Solar pool heating and heat pump pool heating. So which one should you choose?

Both of these systems will have their benefits and downfalls. When it comes to solar heating, the benefit you think of immediately is free power. And while you do get free power, the solar system itself often comes at a high price, and replacement parts for when parts fail will also come at a high price. You will also need a solar specialist to sort the problem out, as not just anyone can do it. Also you have to remember that the sun must be out for the system to generate power, so during winter months when you need it most, it’s likely that you want get much heating.

When it comes to heat pump pool heating, no you don’t get free power, but the systems cost is by far less expensive to begin with, and maintenance and ongoing costs are minimal. The systems are very reliable and rarely ever break down. But, should you need a part repaired or replaced, they are easy to source and replace and come at a low cost.
