What to know before you brief builders
Extend the swim season with solar or heat pump heating. Here is the local context that shapes a quote.
Pick the heating type early
Solar is lowest to run but weather-dependent. A heat pump is consistent and efficient. Gas heats fast but costs most to run. Decide before you brief builders so heating is designed in, not bolted on.
Hills microclimate
Hills suburbs (Stirling, Mount Barker, Aldgate, Bridgewater) run cooler, so heating makes a bigger difference there. A heat pump or solar system is commonly specified on Hills pools.

FAQ
Heated Pools questions homeowners ask
Solar pool heating is the lowest to run because it uses the sun, though it depends on the weather. A pool blanket on top dramatically cuts heat loss. For consistent year-round heat, a heat pump costs more to run than solar but far less than gas.
