Appreciate it. Lots of variance in experience it seems. Definitely don't want to be dealing with the hassle and cost of changing every two years.

For those with heaters in SE Louisiana or similar climates, how often are you using them and do you think they are worth having?

We purchased our house last year with a pool/spa. I did not think we would get much use out of the heater but it turned out using the spa on a cold winter night has been my favorite part of owning a pool.

The heater also allows you to extend your swim season significantly. My pool temp right now is 78°F the kids will swim in it but it isn't very comfortable. I can turn on the heater on a Friday night and cut it off in the am and the temp much more comfortable through the weekend.

Heat Pump >>> Gas Heater

Gas is expensive to operate, the heat exchangers are shite and the overall unit has way too many parts. AquaCal is a great heat pump. They make units that cool the pool too. I have a AquaCal on my pool but not the cooling unit. My pool is deeper than desired which keeps the pool cool on its own.
