Luckily\nfor us, we have summers that coast seamlessly into fall. The temperatures in September\nand even early October are typically quite warm. If you\u2019ve got a pool at home,\nthen you\u2019ve got a decent amount of time before you have to kiss afternoon swims\ngoodbye for the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing about summer turning into fall though\u2014it means that the temperatures are going to start to cool off a little. If you need a <a href=\"\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">pool heater in Gainesville, FL<\/a>, you can come to our experts. We understand what it takes to give you great pool heater service. We\u2019ll make sure you\u2019re set for the year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2>How to Choose the Right Pool Heater<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve done your research into a pool heater, then you\nknow that there are quite a few variables that go into choosing the right\nsystem. We\u2019re here to help you find exactly what you need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Understanding Pool Heaters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First, let\u2019s get into the biggest question that we hear from\nhomeowners: \u201cReally? A pool heater in Florida?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look, we get it. We have warm weather here in Gainesville, FL. In fact, the weather is so warm that you could comfortably take a dip throughout most days in the summer. But what about those other days? We\u2019re talking about those hot, muggy days that have a decent amount of cloud cover. It\u2019s hot and sticky enough to the point where you want to submerge yourself into a body of water, but it\u2019s not so hot that you want the water to be freezing cold like you would on a summer day. This is where a pool heater comes in for us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pool heaters aren\u2019t just for our neighbors up north. They\u2019re\nfor those of us who want: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>To swim in any season <\/li><li>To increase the value of your pool or overall\nproperty<\/li><li>To swim no matter what time of the day it is\n(early mornings and evenings open up!)<\/li><li>To swim in warm water no matter what the\ncircumstance is<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We understand why you\u2019d want a pool heater and we\u2019re going to match you with the perfect unit. We want you to have your own know-how too, though. Here are a few things that you should consider when looking for a pool heater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Type of Heater<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pool heaters are just like any other type of HVAC system. You\u2019ve got a ton of options. You can go with a standard, gas-powered pool heater, or you can go one of the alternate routes and choose a heat pump or solar-powered pool heater. We\u2019ll help you figure out what\u2019s right for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Your Climate<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We live in Florida. This means that we live in a subtropical climate with lots of sunshine which means a solar-powered pool heater could work for you much better than it would for someone living in a cold-weather state. Knowing your climate helps you know your needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Your Needs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How often are you going to use your pool heater? How long\nare you going to need it on average? How many people swim in your pool on a\nregular basis? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are all questions that you need to consider before you\nbuy a pool heater. We\u2019ll help you determine your needs and crunch the numbers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"\/contact\/schedule-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Contact Affinity Gas today.
