Pool & Spa Heaters
Swim in January, not just July.

A propane heater brings a pool up quickly and holds a spa at temperature in an hour rather than a day — which is the difference between using it on a whim and planning around it.
Why propane for this
Propane heats far quicker than a heat pump. A spa is usable the same evening rather than tomorrow.
Heat pumps lose output as the air cools — exactly when you want the heat. A gas heater does not care.
Bring it up for the weekend and leave it off the rest of the week. There is no penalty for intermittent use.
For a spa, gas is almost always the right answer. The volume is small and the temperature rise is large.
The part that gets underestimated
Pool heaters are hungry. A typical unit draws several times what a range does, and a spa heater more again. The gas line and the regulator have to be sized for that draw at the distance from your tank, or the heater will short-cycle and never quite reach temperature.
Tank size matters too. A heater run through a cold snap can empty a small tank quickly, so we will tell you honestly whether your existing tank carries it or whether the job is really a tank upgrade with a heater attached.
