Electric pool heating, specifically through pool heat pumps, is an energy-efficient method that uses electricity to transfer warmth from the surrounding air into pool water, rather than generating heat directly. Operating like an air conditioner in reverse, it extracts heat, intensifies it, and transfers it to the pool.

The primary factor; larger pools require higher-capacity pumps (measured in kW or BTUs) to heat efficiently within a reasonable timeframe (typically 12–72 hours).
Colder climates require a more powerful, robust heat pump, often featuring automatic defrost functionality to operate in low temperatures.
Ensure the heat pump can handle the desired temperature rise. A general rule of thumb is to allow 1kW of heating capacity per 4m² of pool surface area.
Higher COP ratings indicate better energy efficiency, resulting in lower running costs.
Inverter heat pumps are more energy-efficient and quieter, as they adjust their speed based on demand, unlike fixed-speed models.
If you plan to swim year-round or in colder months, a larger, more efficient unit is required compared to summer-only use.
Consider the operating noise, especially if the unit is located near living areas or fences.
Choose reputable brands with solid warranties, such as a 5-10 year warranty on the heat exchanger.
Look for titanium heat exchangers that can withstand chlorinated or salt-water pools.
Ensure your property's electrical system can support the unit, and consider ease of installation, warranty length, and availability of support.

A pool heat pump is an energy-efficient, electric device that heats swimming pool water by extracting ambient warmth from the outside air rather than generating heat directly. Working like a reverse air conditioner, it uses a fan to draw in air, a compressor to heat refrigerant, and a heat exchanger to transfer warmth to the pool water.
Full inverter heat pumps are highly efficient, often costing 80% less than standard heaters. Running costs are generally lower than gas heaters, with efficiency measured by the Coefficient of Performance (COP). Costs depend on pool size, ambient temperature, climate, brand and usage.
Coefficient of Performance (COP) is a dimensionless ratio measuring the efficiency of heating or cooling systems (heat pumps) by dividing the useful heat output/input by the energy input. A higher COP indicates greater efficiency and lower energy costs.
Sizing is usually based on the pool's surface area, as this is where the majority of heat loss occurs. Other factors includes season extender or all year-round heating, indoor or outdoor pool, average depth, wind exposure, and desired to achieve temperature. Contact our office to find out which size pool heat pump will suit your needs.
Pool heat pumps typically last between 10–20 years, generally longer than gas heaters, which usually last 5–10 years.
When the desired swimming temperature is reached the heat pump is turned off automatically, it comes back in operation only if the pool temperature is dropped by 1 degrees less than the set temperature. All our heat pumps have the best of inverter technology which allows it to drop to a lower speed and higher efficiency, maintaining an efficient heating process while avoiding consuming excess power.
Yes, a pool cover (blanket) is essential in Sydney to prevent up to 70% heat loss overnight and significantly lower running costs.
All our heat pumps come with the highest quality titanium finned heat exchangers, allowing you to use any type of water chemistry without worrying about the unit’s lifetime.
Heat pumps run 8–12 hours a day during summer and 12–16 hours during cooler months.
Initial heating can take 24 to 120 hours, but once at temperature, the unit only needs to run to maintain it.
Yes, many modern heat pumps can operate in temperatures as low as -10°C, allowing for year-round swimming.
Run during the warmest part of the day (daylight hours) to maximize efficiency.
