Gas pool heaters do not rely on sunlight or air temperature to generate heat for the pool. Instead, a gas heater will either burn natural gas or propane in a combustion chamber.
Some homeowners prefer gas heaters since it heats the pool quickly. This is because gas heaters are able to produce their own heat. Additionally, the cost of gas heaters varies so homeowners can potentially purchase a gas heater at a lower cost. The typical lifespan of a gas heater is between 7 and 10 years.
Things To Note
Gas heaters are not environmentally-friendly due to their fuel emission and are less energy efficient. In addition, although you can purchase a gas heater at a low cost, it can be expensive to run and have a shorter lifespan compared to other options.
