Gas-fired pool heaters remain the most popular system for heating swimming pools. Today you can find new gas-fired heater models with much higher efficiencies than older models. Still, depending on your climate and pool use, they may not be the most energy-efficient option when compared to heat pump and solar pool heaters. Gas pool heaters use either natural gas … continue reading

Most Energy Efficient Natural Gas Swimming Pool Heaters

The efficiency of natural gas swimming pool heaters are measured by their output in Btu (British thermal unit) and is determined by a standard test. Heater efficiency is the ratio of usable output to energy input. For example, an 80%-efficient heater uses $80 worth of useful heat for every $100 worth of fuel. Therefore, it … continue reading
