Solar Pool Heating vs Heat Pump NZ

The simple truth.

If your goal is the lowest running costs, solar pool heating is hard to beat.

A solar pool heating system uses the sun's free energy to heat your pool. Once installed, there are virtually no ongoing heating costs beyond running your circulation pump.

Heat pumps use electricity every time they heat your pool. While they're efficient compared with gas, they still rely on power every day they're operating.

A heat pump provider will discount pool solar in every effort, to sell you a heat pump. Just ask yourself the simple questions, is the sun and the energy it creates powerful enough to heat water. The simple answer is yes. And it will do a better job than most heat pumps. 

For many New Zealand pool owners, that means:

• Lower lifetime running costs

• A faster return on investment

• Longer swimming seasons

• Less reliance on rising electricity prices

Why do some companies recommend heat pumps?

Many businesses don't install solar heating, so naturally they'll recommend the products they sell.

At Pool Solar Heating, we specialise in solar heating because we believe it's one of the most cost-effective ways to heat an outdoor pool in New Zealand.

We're happy to recommend a heat pump if it's genuinely the better solution for your pool—but in many situations, solar delivers the lowest long-term ownership cost.

The right system depends on your pool, location and expectations.

That's why we provide honest advice before recommending any solution.
