How Long Will a Heat Pump Extend Pool Season?

Swimming in a pool is an incredibly special activity that brings families closer together, allows for better physical fitness, and so much more. It’s no secret that closing the swimming pool for the season is actually a big deal to many homeowners, quite like saying goodbye to an old friend. More and more pool owners are seeking energy-efficient pool heating options to keep their swimming season going a little longer and start back a little sooner.  How long will a heat pump extend pool season? While it varies slightly across climates, on average a pool owner can expect to enjoy comfortable swimming pool water 30 days sooner and about 30 days longer, stretching the pool season by two whole months.   

How a Heat Pump Works to Extend Pool Season

While gas and electric pool heaters use energy to generate heat, a heat pump works by taking the existing heat from the surrounding air and using it to create a warm, inviting swimming pool. The system pulls the air in and uses an evaporator coil paired with a fan to pull the warmth from the air itself. It is then sent through a refrigerant house inside the unit, transforming it from a liquid state to a gaseous state. Next, it’s on to the compressor to increase the pressure and the temperature.  After the warm gas goes through the compressor compartment, it is moved to a heat exchanger, which allows the heat to be added to the pool’s water. This cycle continues until the swimming pool reaches the desired temperature.   

Energy Savings

Because heat pumps only use energy to power the compressor and fan, they save much more on energy than gas or electric pool heating options. Not only will a pool have the ability to stay open longer, but pool owners will also save money in the process.
