Gas Pool Heaters
Which gas pool heater is the most efficient and reliable, available in Ontario?
We are putting in a pool in Ontario and will need a heater. Can someone advise the most reliable and efficient brand of gas heater to buy? Who has the best warranty? Thanks.
Hayward or Jandy are two of the most popular ones available. Either one is a good value…
I’m a salesman in the propane business, and I have a heat pump pool heater on my 16 x 32 in-ground! I would never go back to a fuel burning pool heater! They just use way too much fuel!
Heat pump Pool Heaters are more expensive to buy, but your operating costs are next to nothing. Basically all they have is a fan and a compressor to run, so it’s using about as much electricity as a deep freezer when it’s operating. A propane or natural gas heater is going to be somewhere between 250,000 and 400,000 btu’s depending on the size of your pool. Let’s look at that for a minute. The average furnace is about 80,000 btu’s so you will be using anywhere from 3 to 5 times more fuel than your furnace does when it’s operating!!! Run a 400,000 btu pool heater for 5 hours and you’ve burnt about $50 worth of propane at today’s price.
I sell pool heaters and propane, but I always make sure my customers understand exactly how much fuel that these things burn. In my personal opinion it is a very expensive way to go. If you are planning on staying in this house for a while I would spend the extra money on the heat pump. You will be happier in the long run! Hope this helps!
