Has Your Aging Pool Heater Been Acting Up? Should You Repair or Replace It?

November 5, 2023 Andrew 0 Comments

With so many advancements in pool heaters in recent years we’re often asked here at Water Pure Florida whether it makes more sense to repair or replace aging equipment that sits in place. In most cases, the overwhelming ansher is that replacing to new will be most cost-effective There are a few reasons why replacing an old pool heater is often smarter than repairing it. Let’s take a closer look:

Efficiency: Older pool heaters are typically much less efficient than newer models. This is because technology has improved over time, and newer heaters are able to transfer more heat to the pool water while using less energy. This means that replacing an old heater can save you money on your utility bills.

Reliability: Older pool heaters are more likely to break down, and repairs can be expensive. Replacing an old heater with a new one can give you peace of mind knowing that your pool will be heated reliably for years to come.

Warranties: New pool heaters typically come with long warranties, which can protect you from expensive repairs or replacement costs.

Environmental impact: Older pool heaters can be less environmentally friendly than newer models. This is because they may emit more pollutants and use more energy. Replacing an old heater with a newer, more efficient model can help you reduce your environmental impact.

Here are some specific examples of the benefits of replacing an old pool heater:

• A new gas pool heater can be up to 85% efficient, while an older model may be only 60% efficient. This means that a new heater can save you up to 35% on your energy bills.

• A new electric pool heater can be up to 500% more efficient than an older model. This is because electric heat pumps use electricity to move heat from the air to the pool water, rather than generating heat directly.

• New pool heaters are also more reliable than older models. They are less likely to break down, and they come with longer warranties.

• New pool heaters are also more environmentally friendly than older models. They emit fewer pollutants and use less energy.

Overall, the benefits of replacing an old pool heater outweigh the costs. A new heater can save you money on your utility bills, give you peace of mind knowing that your pool will be heated reliably, and reduce your environmental impact.
