Pool Heating: Plan It from the Start
Jun 6, 2025

Build a Pool You Can Actually Use All Year

A great way to make sure you’re using your pool year-round is to include heating as part of your pool build. Whether you go for solar, gas or electric heating, it’s an easy way to get more value and enjoyment from your swimming pool across more months of the year.

With pool heating installed, you’ll be able to enjoy a comfortable water temperature well into the cooler months. A dip in warm water is a great way to start a chilly day or unwind after a busy one. Pool heating is especially useful if you plan to swim most days of the week, even when the weather cools down.

You’ll love knowing you’re getting the most out of your fibreglass pool, with the option to adjust your water temperature to suit you.

Types of Heating Options for Fibreglass Pools

There are a few main types of pool heating systems. The best choice depends on your location, lifestyle and how often you plan to use your pool.

Heat Pumps

Heat pumps use electricity to heat your pool, with two types available: standard and advanced inverter technology. Inverter technology allows the heat pump to reach higher temperatures efficiently, reducing energy use and environmental impact.

They’re a great option if you swim regularly and want a consistent water temperature.

Gas Heating

Gas heaters are the best option if you want fast results. They heat the water quickly, which makes them perfect for plunge pools, spas or pools used occasionally. If you don’t use your pool daily but want it warm when you do, gas heating could be the right fit.

Pool Blankets and Covers

While not a heating system on their own, pool blankets and covers help retain heat in the water and reduce running costs. They can also cut down the time it takes to heat your pool, making them a useful addition.



Why It Matters at the Planning Stage

When you’re designing your fibreglass pool, it’s worth thinking about heating from the start. It’s much easier to include heating during the build than trying to add it after your pool is finished. Your pool builder will help you choose the best heating option based on your climate and how you plan to use your pool.

Make the Most of Your New Pool

With heating added to your new pool, you won’t be limited to the hottest summer days. You’ll get more time in the water, more comfort and more value from your investment.

Your local Narellan Pools Builder can guide you through the best heating options and include the right solution in your fibreglass pool build. That means less planning for you and more time to enjoy your pool, earlier and for longer each year.
