Here at Horizon, we hear a lot of comments from our customers. The ones that choose to install solar heating generally have similar reasons for selecting this form of pool heating. Here are the answers that most of them give for their choice:
- Help Prolong Our Swim Season: Though this could be the answer given for any type of pool heating system, it is still the most common reason we hear for choosing solar. When you have a tempting swimming pool in the backyard, you want to be able to dive in and enjoy it. When it’s icy cold, this just isn’t possible.
- Cut Our Energy Bill: This is the most obvious reason customers choose solar. They want to cut down on their energy costs. Traditional pool heating systems use expensive fossil fuels. Though solar can cost a bit more to install, it’s a one-time cost. Once installed, there won’t be a heating bill to pay.
- Less Maintenance: Solar heaters do not need to be serviced as often as traditional heating systems. It’s smart to have an annual checkup, but generally they save you the hassle and the cost of frequent maintenance.
- They Are Green: For some of our customers this is the most important reason to choose solar heat. Solar systems don’t require fossil fuels, and so they don’t release pollutants into the atmosphere. With an emission-free solar system, you can enjoy a warm pool and feel good about yourself for being good to the planet.
- Solar Systems Last Longer: The average lifespan of a solar heating system is 15 to 20 years. Traditional systems average seven to ten. That means that solar offers a big cost savings in the long run.
