In some parts of the world, the swimming season is strictly limited to a couple of months in the summer – Louisiana is NOT one of those places.
Here, temperatures that may seem unseasonably warm are actually quite seasonable, and having a Christmas Day with warmer weather has become more of the norm over the past decade, with 7 out of 10 Christmases since 2012 having temperatures above 60*!
Santa Swim Party, anyone?
Even with South Louisiana’s hot and humid climate, though, there are still some days when the water in your pool might feel a little brisk to jump into. That’s why we think installing a pool heater is a must for your Lafayette, LA, pool.
In today’s post, the pool renovation experts at Bask Pools + Outdoors are going to share some of the options available to you when installing a pool heater as part of your swimming pool remodeling project. With gas, electric, and solar varieties, there are so many to choose from — let’s dive into the basics of each!
Gas Heater
Gas heaters offer energy efficiency coupled with high performance and adaptable installation by our pool professionals in Lafayette. They are resistant to chemical corrosion and provide the fastest heat times. Gas heaters are fueled by separate propane tanks or plug right into your home’s natural gas line.
Electric Heater
With lower energy requirements than natural gas and propane heaters, electric heating units are economical temperature control solutions optimized for smaller pools. Their heat pump technology uses less energy than natural gas and propane heaters with the capability to provide ideal water temperatures even in harsh weather conditions. The swimming pool renovation pros at Bask Pools + Outdoors can equip your new pool with this powerful piece of machinery — just ask us how!
Solar Heaters
A solar heating system can help you spend more time in the water while reducing your environmental impact by adding up to 15 degrees Fahrenheit or more to your pool’s water temperature. These systems offer flexible installation options, making them perfect for pool remodeling projects in Lafayette — put it on the roof, on the fence, angled on the ground or wherever else it fits within your yard.
