Without a heater, however, your pool season might be limited to 2-4 months, even in warmer clients. <\/p>\n<p>Most people base the decision on a variety of factors, including local climate, temperature preference and budget. But it\u2019s important to note that, in most areas, your pool temperature may only reach 75 degrees in the warmest months, which is chilly for swimming. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, pool temperatures usually range from 78 to 82 degrees, and children and the elderly may require a temperature of at least 80 degrees.<\/p>\n<h4>Types of Heaters <\/h4>\n<p>There are three types of pool heaters: gas, heat pump (electric) and solar. <\/p>\n<ul>&#13;<\/p>\n<li> Gas-fired models heat a pool quickly, but they\u2019re expensive to operate due to fuel costs. They\u2019re best for pools that are not used on a regular basis. Typically, they\u2019re turned on when the pool is going to be used and turned off afterward. <\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li> Heat pumps rely on electricity to heat the pool. They\u2019re more expensive upfront than gas heaters but much cheaper to operate. They\u2019re not very efficient if the air temperature dips below 50 degrees, but that\u2019s not usually an issue because pools are most often used in warmer weather. <\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li> Solar heaters rely on the sun for warmth. They\u2019re often similar in price to gas heaters and heat pumps, but the operating costs are much lower.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;\n                <\/ul>\n<p>Heaters come in varying sizes and efficiencies, so check with your pool contractor or a local expert to find out which models will work for you. The greater the size and efficiency, the more expensive the heater will be.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image-style\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/businessfinancenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Should-I-Heat-My-Pool-Is-it-Worth-the-Cost.jpg\" alt=\"Pool Heater\"\/><\/div>\n<h4>Pool Heater Annual Operating Costs <\/h4>\n<p>Annual operating costs depend on the type of heater, local energy rates, the size of the pool, the temperature you maintain, local climate, the length of the swimming season and more. This energy department guide offers estimates of what you can expect to pay for gas heat in various U.S. cities. Annual costs range from <strong>$100 to $3,600<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Contrary to what you might think, it\u2019s not always cheaper to heat a pool in warmer clients because the swimming season is so much longer than in colder climates.<\/p>\n<p>The chart also highlights the importance of using a pool cover to trap heat and reduce energy costs. In Chicago, for example, annual operating costs are estimated at <strong>$1,621<\/strong> without a cover and only <strong>$216<\/strong> when a cover is used. <\/p>\n<p class=\"author\"><strong>Author:<\/strong> Ashley Smith<\/p>\n<p>                <!--\n\n<h3 class=\"ctalower\">Find Local Swimming Pool Heater Companies Who Will Compete for Your Business<\/h3>\n\n\n                <iframe class=\"homeadvisor\"  height=\"1500\" border=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homeadvisor.com\/ext\/14857388?gatc=KompareItIframe\" align=\"top\" marginwidth=\"2\" marginheight=\"2\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>--><!--\n\n<div id=\"disqus_thread\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<noscript>Please enable JavaScript to view the comments powered by Disqus.<\/noscript>-->\n              <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Swimming pool heaters can be expensive &#8211; anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000 &#8211; and then there\u2019s the annual cost of fuel or electricity to run the heater.
