What it costs to run
Purchase price is only half the picture. A heat pump is the efficient way to heat a pool because it moves heat rather than making it, returning up to 20 units of heat for every 1 unit of electricity. You can read how a swimming pool heat pump works for the detail and what COP means for your running costs. Our 35kW unit runs at around $3 a day, far less than heating the same pool with gas.

What else affects the total cost
The unit price is the main cost, but a few things around it can change the total:
- Power supply. The W17, C24 and H35 Turbo run on single phase power, the supply most homes already have, so most homes need no three phase upgrade.
- Electrical work. Heat pumps generally need a dedicated circuit and older switchboards sometimes need work. A licensed electrician confirms this for your site.
- Getting the size right. A unit matched to your pool volume heats properly without paying for capacity you do not need.
