Heating Pools Affordably in South Florida Homes

By Alexandra Tarallo

Now that temperatures are starting to drop, you might be thinking about heating your South Florida home’s pool so you can enjoy it throughout the winter months.

Don’t be discouraged if you think it’s too expensive.
There are many ways to heat your pool without breaking the bank.

Here are a couple of useful tips to help maximize the potential of your South Florida home this winter.

One of the best investments you can make is on a pool solar cover or blanket. This floating cover insulates the surface of the pool water conserving heat. In consequence your heater runs for a shorter period of time and drastically reduces your energy costs.

Solar heating panels are also a great way to heat you pool. Florida’s winter months tend to be the sunniest, and using the free energy from the sun will only cost you purchase and installment of the panels, not to mention that solar heating does not pollute the increasingly fragile ecosystem.
