Heliocol Solar Pool Heating is the Answer!
If you are researching solar pool heating systems, Heliocol products deserve a close look. At Solaron, we proudly install Heliocol solar pool heating systems only throughout the Bay Area, Sacramento, and Northern California. We are dedicated to helping homeowners enjoy warmer pool water and an extended swim season without skyrocketing energy bills. To help in your consideration of a Heliocol system, here are some of the most common questions from pool owners exploring solar heating.
How does solar pool heating work?
Heliocol systems use the sun’s natural energy to warm your pool water. Your existing pool pump circulates water from the pool up to the solar collectors installed on your roof or another sunny area of your property. As the water flows through the panels, it absorbs heat from the sun before returning to your pool at a warmer temperature. It’s a simple process that runs automatically and works seamlessly with your current pool equipment.
What does a Heliocol system cost?
The price of a Heliocol system depends on your pool size, roof layout, and installation requirements. We assure you that solar pool heating is far more affordable than gas or electric heaters over time. Most homeowners appreciate that Heliocol systems deliver strong long-term savings. Solaron offers a free solar analysis to determine exactly what your pool needs and to provide a personalized quote.
How long do Heliocol systems last?
Heliocol systems are built for long-term performance. In fact, they last longer than the amount of time the average homeowner stays in their house! They’re manufactured with durable materials designed to handle Northern California’s weather conditions and come backed by a 12-year warranty. With basic care, it’s not unusual for a Heliocol system to perform reliably for decades.
Do solar pool heaters need maintenance?
Heliocol systems are designed to be low-maintenance and easy to live with. Like any pool-related equipment, it’s important to occasionally check that the panels are clear of debris and that water is flowing properly. We find that routine upkeep is easily handled by the homeowner or their pool service company.
How much warmer can my pool get?
Results are directly related to your location, pool size, and weather patterns. Most homeowners see a temperature increase of about 10–15 degrees Fahrenheit. That difference allows an extended swim season and far more comfortable water throughout the year. Heliocol systems can also cool a pool if it gets to hot by circulating the water at night when the air is cold.
Do Heliocol systems work on cloudy days?
All solar pool heaters perform best in full sun, but the collectors continue to capture available solar energy even when the skies are overcast. Because of their efficient design, Heliocol systems remain effective across a wide range of weather conditions, making them well-suited for Northern California climates. You can expect to get good use from your solar pool heater from March to October.
