What size heat pump do I need for my pool?

The size depends on your pool volume, whether you use a pool cover, shade, wind exposure and above-ground construction. As a guide: pools up to 30,000L suit a 10-13kW unit; up to 40,000L a 13kW; up to 50,000L a 17kW; up to 60,000L a 21kW; up to 80,000L a 28kW; up to 100,000L a 35kW. Without a pool cover, we generally upsize by two sizes to offset overnight heat loss. Contact our Brisbane or Gold Coast team for a tailored assessment.

How much does it cost to run a pool heat pump?

Running costs depend on pool size, usage frequency, and whether you use a pool cover. Without a cover, costs can exceed $2,000 per year. With a pool cover, the average Brisbane or Gold Coast family pool typically costs $400-$800 per year. Our inverter heat pumps have a COP of up to 15.4 - almost triple that of a standard heat pump - making them significantly cheaper to run.

How long does it take to heat a pool with a heat pump?

In cooler months, we recommend running the heat pump for 48-72 hours initially to bring the water up to your desired temperature. After that, 8-10 hours per day will maintain it. Using a pool cover overnight makes a significant difference to heating speed and efficiency.

Can I run a pool heat pump from my rooftop solar panels?

Yes. We set the heat pump on timers so it runs during daylight hours when your solar panels are generating electricity. This can dramatically reduce running costs and is a popular setup for customers across Brisbane and the Gold Coast who already have solar installed.

What are the benefits of a pool heat pump over gas heating?

Heat pumps extract warmth from the surrounding air rather than generating heat, delivering up to 15.4 units of energy for every 1 unit of electricity used (COP 15.4). Compared to gas, they offer lower long-term running costs, quieter operation, year-round reliability and no gas supply required. They are the most energy-efficient way to heat a pool in Queensland.

Do I need special electrical provisions for a pool heat pump?

If you do not have existing pool heating provisions, we integrate the heat pump with your filtration system so water flows through the filter, then the heat pump, then the chlorinator and back to the pool. If you want the heat pump to run on its own independent timers, a link device can be added. We handle full installation across Brisbane, Gold Coast and surrounding areas.

How long does a pool heat pump last?

With proper maintenance and correct water chemistry, pool heat pumps typically last 10-15 years. Our units are built with Mitsubishi components and independently tested by TUV Rheinland for energy efficiency and durability.

Do you install pool heat pumps in Brisbane and the Gold Coast?

Yes. That Pool Heating Company supplies and installs pool heat pumps across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Ipswich, Toowoomba, the Sunshine Coast and Tweed Heads. We specialise in residential and commercial installations and offer a free quote.

Recent Pool Heating Reviews

Shawn Brady

Highly recommend That Pool Heating Company! Dee and Nick were fantastic to deal with — professional, friendly, and great with communication from start to finish. The whole process was smooth and the quality of work was excellent. Couldn’t be happier with the result!

Craig Henwood

Nic and Dee offer exceptional service. They came out to service my Madimack Pool heater, found a fault, sorted the part under warranty and we’re back within a week to repair it. Reasonable price and very helpful. They are now my chosen pool heater parts and service providers.

Can't speak more highly of my experience with "That Pool Heating Company". Their quote to replace my solar pool heating system was very competitive. The installation quality was perfect and the back up service I got after the install was second to none. I can highly recommend Nick and Dee to anyone looking to add or upgrade their pool heating equipment. Mick - Toowoomba

Shelley Mason

Such a great job done for our pool heating . Appreciate the hard work and friendly staff

Rachel R

Fantastic service from start to finish. I recently moved into a house which had solar heating for the pool. I had it serviced by Noah from That Pool Heating a company and was made aware the system was old and what to watch out for should the system fail. Noah was professional, helpful and friendly. I enquired about an upgrade and Dee is so efficient, quick and helpful…every company needs a Dee! I received a quote and when I decided to proceed it was booked in quickly. Sam installed my new system. Sam was also super helpful, professional and friendly. The system definitely makes a huge difference compared to my old system. An absolutely brilliant company with great staff and a great product…I highly recommend their services.

Peter Haase

Great service from day one, the system is so easy to use and the temperature has gone up by 3 degrees in under 2 days. I can’t thank these people enough. A big thank you to Sam and Dee. No pressure sales and an easy install. You can tell they are a family company.

John

Dee and Nick were both fantastic to deal with. They helped us out very quickly and there customer service was outstanding. I'd highly recommend them

Michael Cox

The team from That Pool Heating Company were great to deal with from start to finish and got my 15 year old system back up and running in a couple of hours. Sam was very knowledgeable [and brave climbing up the ladder 2.5 storeys to access the solar!] Highly recommend

Gunes Sonmez

I would have liked somewhat better comms during quote and upto installation, but Sam, things worked out fine and on the day, did a seamless, installation with attention to details. The products supplied are quality as well. Pool is now finally frequented by the kids. Thank you Dee and Sam.

Daryn Lewis

That Pool Heating Company have just installed a solar heating system to my newly constructed pool and I could not be happier. I used this company a few years ago for a solar system at my previous home and after such a great experience back then, I had no hesitation in using them again. I’m happy to say that the experience this time around was still top notch. Dee is a pleasure to deal with, and the installer was skilled, polite and professional. The solar technology has progressed much further than my last system – it’s only been a couple of weeks since the end of winter and we’re already swimming in our balmy warm pool! If you want to deal with a company that has integrity and still understands the importance of providing a very high level of customer service, then look no further. I highly recommend That Pool Heating Company.

FAQs

What types of pool heating options are available?

You’ve got a few great ways to heat your pool:

Solar pool heating warms your pool water using roof-mounted panels that capture the sun’s natural energy.
Heat pumps draw heat from the surrounding air to maintain a steady water temperature.
Pool covers and rollers lock in warmth, reduce water loss and cut energy use by preventing heat from escaping once your pool is heated.

At That Pool Heating Company, we install and service all three options, helping you choose what suits your pool, lifestyle and budget.

How does solar pool heating on the Gold Coast work?

It starts by using your pool’s filtration system to circulate water through roof-mounted solar collectors. As the water passes through the panels, the sun’s energy warms it before it flows back into your pool. A controller monitors roof and water temperatures, switching the system on or off to maintain comfort. With sunshine most of the year, Gold Coast solar pool heating is an efficient and affordable way to keep your pool warm longer.

What factors determine the best pool heating solution for my pool?

The right pool heating system depends on how you use your pool and the surrounding conditions. Things like pool size, location, sun exposure and your preferred water temperature all play a role in deciding whether solar, a heat pump or a mix of both will suit you best.
