The types of pool heaters we can install vary, including electric heat pumps, gas pool heaters—both natural gas and propane pool heaters —and electric resistance heaters. The right pool heater for your pool depends on your pool size, maintenance costs, and the outside temperature of your pool season. An electric pool heater is often recommended for those seeking higher efficiency, such as the Jandy electric heater, whereas a gas heater can heat the water more quickly but may be more costly to operate. Finding the best pool heater is necessary for chillier months when direct sunlight is not warming the temperature enough on its own.
