If you are considering solar pool heating for your home, you will want to consider your pool size, climate, intended usage period, and budget. Something else to consider will be the solar pool heating system brand itself. With many brands to choose from in California, the quality and reputation of the brand is important. At Solaron, after much consideration of the competition, Heliocol is our only choice for pool heating systems. How does this brand stack up to other known brands?
Heliocol vs Other Brands
Heliocol is one of the leading solar pool heating choices in the state of California due to its proven track record in various climate zones across the state. Here are some of the benefits of Heliocol versus other solar pool heating systems.
Established Reputation: Heliocol started in the solar pool heating industry in the late 1970’s, giving them a long record of reliability and innovation. They have continually refined their products and services, creating a strong reputation for quality and efficiency.
- Durability: Heliocol panels are made from UV-resistant polypropylene and use a patented over-molding technique that eliminates the need for adhesives or mechanical fasteners. This reduces the risk of leaks and failures. Competing brands may use similar materials, but without the same quality of construction. Others use cheaper materials that degrade faster under UV exposure and extreme temperatures.
- Efficiency: Heliocol features an individual tube design that provides consistent heating and minimizes the effects of shading on system performance. Other brands use webbed panel designs that are less effective in partially shaded conditions and often do not heat as evenly.
- Installation: Heliocol offers a patented clamp assembly for mounting the solar panels to a roof without the need for roof penetration. This reduces the risk of roof leaks. Other brands still require roof penetration in their installation process and those that offer clamp or strap systems do not have the same security and adaptability as the Heliocol brand.
- Maintenance: Heliocol is proud of its low maintenance requirements due to its durable materials, lack of moving parts, and no clog design. Other brands with more complex designs often require regular servicing and are more prone to clogging or mechanical failures.
- Warranty and Support: Heliocol offers extensive warranties that cover performance and manufacturing defects, backed by strong customer support from Northern California’s Solaron. Competing brands often provide shorter or less comprehensive warranty coverage with little customer support. And if you choose a DIY setup, you basically have no customer support.
- Cost-Effectiveness: While Heliocol may be more expensive initially, the durability and low maintenance needs of the system provide better cost-effectiveness over time. Other brands’ initial costs may be lower, but shorter lifespans increase the long-term costs.
With all of these benefits, it is clear to see why the professionals at Solaron make Heliocol their top choice. If you are a homeowner looking to extend your swimming season with a solar pool heating system that promises durability, efficiency, and minimal maintenance, then Heliocol is the brand to choose!
