Extend pool season in Jacksonville with the right heater in 3 simple steps

Cooler nights shouldn’t end pool time. Choose the right heater, set it correctly, and lock in comfort through winter evenings in Jacksonville.

Step 1:
Choose the heater that fits your pool and habits

Match the system to how you actually swim.

  • Heat pump: best for frequent use and steady temps in Jacksonville’s mild winters. Lowest operating cost over time.

  • Gas heater: fastest heat for occasional nights or events. Higher fuel cost.

  • Electric resistance: simple installs, higher bills. Rarely ideal for larger pools.

    Tip: size by pool volume, wind exposure, and desired night temps. Undersizing wastes energy and patience.


Step 2:
Size and set it for efficiency

Get performance without spikes.

  • Confirm BTU capacity based on gallons and exposure

  • Run during warm afternoons to capture free ambient heat

  • Pair with automation to pre-heat before evening swims

  • Use a solar cover to hold warmth 50–70% longer

    Tip: shorter, smarter cycles beat all-day heating.

Step 3:
Lock in savings with proper flow and maintenance

Protect output and longevity.

  • Set pump RPMs to meet heater minimum flow

  • Keep coils and intakes clear

  • Verify sensors and pressure switches

  • Adjust schedules as daylight shortens

    Tip: clean filtration equals faster heat-up and lower runtime.

When to upgrade now

Replace aging units if you see slow heat-up, frequent shutdowns, corrosion, or rising bills. Winter installs avoid peak-season delays and lock in comfort early.
