Benefits of solar heating for your Gold Coast home
Ok, so if you live on the Sunny Gold Coast in QLD or somewhere tropical and you want to extend your swimming season, let’s talk about it. Although the air temperature in September is absolutely wonderful with blue skies and that warm breeze, when you step into your pool, it’s absolutely freezing and only the brave get in. Well that’s not enjoyable at all as you now have a swimming pool that you can’t use unless you want to put a wetsuit on!
This is where Solar Pool Heating is the solution and to have it installed. It’s affordable, extends your swimming season, it’s discrete and best of all…it’s energy efficient! Let’s break it down a bit more and explain what the benefits are and why you should opt for Solar Swimming Pool Heating.
Affordability
Ongoing running costs of electric heat pumps can be a bother to many which is why Solar heating is a popular way to go when looking to extend your swimming season. September through April, the sun is nice and high and gives off enough warmth to heat your pool to a toasty 28 degrees, especially when using a pool cover and the pool isn’t in full shade. Having the sun do all the work massively brings your run costs down as the only expense is the booster pump which is generally only a 10amp socket.
Extending your season
Most people are not game enough to swim through the height of winter and we don’t blame them! Although on the Gold Coast, our winter days are clear skies with a low breeze, the water temperature is just too icy to swim comfortably. Solar swimming pool heating will extend the swim season to allow you to get the most out of the warm days until the temperature drops in autumn. If you decide to add a pool cover to your pool, this will act as insulator and keep the water temperature warmer for longer
What pool heating?
Exactly! What pool heating….it’s so incredibly discrete that no one will even know that you have it until they hop in your heated pool. Installed on the roof of your house, pergola or shed, it sits flat and can not normally be seen. We run PVC pipe work up the side of the house which tends to look like a drain pipe and that is about all you will see.
Energy Efficiency
This really goes hand in hand with the affordability aspect due to the only costing after installation is the booster pump. Having the sun do all the work is great for the environment.
