Is there a brand you recommend? What type of heater/heat pump, Electric versus Gas, is best for SWFL? Is there a brand you recommend?
Electric versus Gas:
Gas may be a better option in the Northern states but in SWFL Electric is the preferred option. Below are pros and cons.
Electric
Pros:
- Lower upfront costs: electric heaters have lower installation costs.
- Lower maintenance: electric heaters require less maintenance than gas.
- Safety: electric heaters don’t have the same safety concerns as gas heaters regarding gas leaks or carbon monoxide which can lead to dangerous situations.
- Environmental: electric heaters are generally more eco-friendly.
Cons:
- Potentially higher operating costs, especially if you don’t have a high-efficiency electric heat pump. **Pool Repairs Plus holds a high quality standard and only offers high-efficiency electric heat pumps that are not only Made in the USA but locally in SWFL, Gulf Stream and Built Right Pool Heaters. Pool Repairs Plus is a licensed distributor and installer for both companies and can recommend which will be best for your needs.
- Slower heating: electric heaters may take longer to heat compared to gas heaters.
