Pool Heater Installation in Broward County
Swim Comfortably, Even on Broward's Cooler Winter Mornings
Florida pools don't need heating in July — but from December through February, unheated water can sit well below a comfortable swimming temperature, especially in the early morning or after a cold front comes through. Aqua Pools installs and services pool heaters throughout Broward County, sized and set up to keep your pool usable through every season, not just the hot ones.

Why heat your pool in Florida
It's a common misconception that pool heaters aren't necessary in Florida. In reality, they're one of the upgrades that gets your pool used the most days of the year, not the fewest.
- Extend your swim season. A properly sized heater lets you comfortably use your pool through Broward County's cooler months instead of watching it sit unused.
- Make early mornings and evenings swimmable. Even on warm days, pool water can start noticeably cool in the morning or after the sun goes down — a heater keeps it comfortable on your schedule, not the weather's.
- Support daily use, not just weekend swims. If you swim for exercise or want the pool usable for the whole family regardless of the season, consistent heating makes that realistic.
- Add real value to your home. A heated pool is a stronger selling point and gets meaningfully more use than one that's only comfortable a few months a year.
HOW DOES IT WORK
Types of pool heaters
We install both heat pumps and gas heaters, and which one makes sense depends on how you actually plan to use your pool.
Heat pumps work like a reverse air conditioner — pulling warmth from the outside air and transferring it into your pool water instead of burning fuel. Because Florida's air stays warm enough for a heat pump to run most of the year efficiently, this makes them the most cost-effective way to keep a pool comfortable for everyday, regular use. The tradeoff is speed: heat pumps warm gradually, around 1°F per hour, so they're built for maintaining a consistently comfortable pool over time rather than a fast temperature jump.
Gas heaters burn natural gas or propane to heat water directly, and can raise pool temperature far faster than a heat pump — often reaching a target temperature within a few hours instead of the better part of a day. That makes gas the right call when you need your pool heated quickly for a specific event, or during the occasional Florida cold snap where a heat pump's efficiency drops. The tradeoff is a meaningfully higher cost per hour to run.
Our general recommendation: for pools that get regular, everyday use, a heat pump is typically the lower-cost option to own long-term. For pools that are heated occasionally or need to be ready fast for a specific date, gas is often the better fit. We'll walk through which makes sense for your situation during your free assessment.
Brands We Install
We install and service salt chlorine generator systems from the two most trusted names in the industry.
Installed right: sizing, code, and automation
1. Free On-Site Assessment: We check your pool's volume, existing equipment, and available gas or electrical service to determine the right heater type and size for your goals.
2. Heater Recommendation & Quote: You get a clear, written quote with the recommended heater and the reasoning behind it — heat pump or gas based on how you actually use your pool.
3. Professional, Code-Compliant Installation: Our certified technicians install the heater, handle all required gas or electrical connections, and pull any necessary permits.
4. Testing & Walkthrough: We test the heater under normal operation, confirm it reaches target temperature correctly, and walk you through the controls (and app, if automation-connected) before we leave.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need a pool heater in Florida?
Most Broward County pools sit uncomfortably cool for several months of the year, especially mornings and evenings. A heater is less about surviving winter and more about getting daily, year-round use out of a pool you're already paying to maintain.
Which is better, a heat pump or a gas heater?
It depends on how you use your pool. Heat pumps cost far less to run and are the better fit for a pool that gets regular, everyday use. Gas heaters heat much faster and make more sense if you only need your pool heated occasionally or want it ready quickly for a specific event. We install both and can walk through which fits your situation during your free assessment.
How long does it take a heater to warm up my pool?
Heat pumps typically raise temperature gradually, around 1°F per hour, so reaching a comfortable temperature from cold can take the better part of a day.
Do heat pumps still work on cooler days?
Yes, though efficiency drops as outdoor air temperature drops — heat pumps are most efficient in Florida's typical mild-to-warm conditions and less efficient during the occasional cold snap.
Is a permit really required to install a pool heater?
Yes — pool heater installations in Florida require a permit, along with licensed gas or electrical work depending on heater type. We handle this as a standard part of installation.
Can a new heater be added to my existing pool equipment?
In most cases, yes — heaters are designed to integrate with standard pumps, filters, and automation systems. We'll confirm compatibility during your free assessment.
