Pool Heaters

Hayward Gas Pool Heaters for both above ground pools and in-ground pools offer industry leading efficiency and low maintenance costs. With an induced draft heater for above ground pools and spas that combine state-of-the-art technology with superior performance and ease of operation, to the added technological improvements featuring an electronic direct spark ignition system and an energy-efficient FireTile® lined combustion chamber ensures that a Hayward gas pool heater will outperform and outlast expectations. Gas-fired pool heaters remain the most popular system for heating swimming pools. However, according to heat pump pool manufacturers, gas fired pool heaters are old technology that adds to higher levels of greenhouse gases, mainly CO2, into the atmosphere. To counter those claims you are now able to find new gas-fired heater models with much higher efficiencies than the older models. Depending on your pool usage and climate, it will be necessary to compare all options of pool heaters to determine which will be the most energy-efficient option. With proper installation and maintenance, gas pool heaters typically last five or more years.

Initial price does not include installation or delivery, but these services can be arrange at an additional charge A pool heater is a long-term investment. The most important factors to consider are:

• Initial price (including installation): Did you know that some fossil fuel heaters such as natural gas heaters, though the heater is lower priced than a heat pump, can cost $1000 to $2000 more to install than a heat pump?
• Operating costs: Did you know that fossil fuel heaters (natural gas, propane and oil fired) cost 4-5 times more to heat your pool than a heat pump? See our Heating Cost Comparison for details.
• Ease of operation and maintenance.
• Product life expectancy: Did you know that the life expectancy of a heat pump is twice that of a fossil fuel heater?
• Attractive, durable design: Does the heater compliment your pool/patio design?

A swimming pool heat pump removes “FREE HEAT” from the air and transfers it to the freon via an evaporator. The heated freon passes through the heat exchanger where the heat is transferred to the pool water. The main reason heat pumps are becoming so popular is that they are efficient and effective, offering very significant operating cost savings compared to fossil fuel heaters.
