Similarly one may ask, how do I choose a heat pump for my pool?
Figuring on a temperature increase of 1-1.25 degrees per hour, you can use the following equation to get an approximate heat pump BTU requirement:
- (Surface Area) x (Temperature Increase) x 12 = (Minimum BTU Needed)
- (14 x 28) x 20 x 12 = 94,000+ BTU.
- Aqua Cal – Is one of the oldest and largest manufacturers of heat pumps.
Electric swimming pool heaters differ quite a lot from gas in terms of costs. The units tend to be more expensive upfront and the cost of installation is a bit more because of their intricacies. However, electric is usually cheaper in the long run.

| Labor | $500 – $1,000 |
| Total Cost | $2,500 – $5,000 |
Should you oversize a pool heat pump?
Generally speaking, you should oversize the heat pump as much as possible. You’ll never regret going too big, as doing so means warming the pool at a faster rate without running the heater as much.
How long does it take to heat a pool with a Hayward heat pump?
Are pool heat pumps worth it?
Heat pump pool heaters cost more than gas pool heaters, but they typically have much lower annual operating costs because of their higher efficiencies. With proper maintenance, heat pump pool heaters typically last longer than gas pool heaters. Therefore, you’ll save more money in the long run.
What is a comfortable pool temperature?
How do I calculate what size heat pump I need?
30 BTU of heating output per 1 sq ft of living space.
For every sq ft of living space, you need about 30 BTU of heating output. That means, for example, that for a 1,000 sq ft home, you would require a 30,000 BTU heat pump (that’s a 2.5-ton heat pump).
At what temperature does a pool heat pump stop working?
Most Heat Pumps will work if the temperature dips below 60, but will automatically shut off if the temperature reaches 45 – 50 degrees Fahrenheit. By shutting off automatically, Heat Pumps prevent damage that can occur when the air gets too cold.
