4 Signs It’s Time to Upgrade a Swimming Pool Heat Pump

Time to Upgrade a Swimming Pool Heat Pump.
Pool owners across the country are discovering the amazing benefit of having a heated pool for those cool summer evenings and the extra months that can be added to the swimming season. As pool heating options go, there’s no question that a pool heat pump is one of the best; it’s energy-efficient and incredibly effective at heating the water in colder temperatures. Over the last few years, heat pumps have advanced in energy-efficient technology, among other things and it may soon be time for pool owners to upgrade a swimming pool heat pump. Here are 4 signs that it’s time to consider a new pool heater.

1. Energy Costs are Rising 

Because one of the most attractive features of a swimming pool heat pump is the energy efficiency, pool owners can look to a rising energy bill as a sign that their current heat pump is losing the ability to effectively heat the water in a cost-reducing way. As a heat pump ages, it loses efficiency and requires more energy to heat the water in your pool. This can result in higher energy bills and a less comfortable swimming experience. AquaComfort heat pumps can save almost 10 times more energy than other leading pool heating options. 

2. Strange Sounds 

The heat pump is making strange noises: If you notice your heat pump making strange noises, such as rattling or squealing, it may be a sign that the unit is in need of repair or replacement. These noises can indicate that the bearings in the motor are worn out or that the fan blades are damaged.

3. Inefficient Heating

The heat pump is not producing enough heat: If your heat pump is not producing enough heat to keep the water in your pool at the desired temperature, it may be time for an upgrade. This can be caused by a variety of issues, including a worn-out compressor or a clogged air filter, but if the heat pump is older, it could be a sign that it’s time to upgrade to a newer unit.

4. The Unit is More than 10 Years Old

Energy efficiency technology has come a long way in the last decade. If the heat pump is older than 10 years, it may be time to consider an upgrade, even if it seems to be working fine. Not only will pool owners discover cost savings they didn’t know were possible, but they will also likely be surprised at how quickly newer heat pumps can achieve a comfortable temperature, along with how effective they are at heating in colder temperatures than previous models.
