Having a pool is a blessing and a luxury. It turns your home into a resort getaway and every day into a mini-vacation. But if that pool water is terribly cold, you’re not going to get as much use or enjoyment out of it. Swimming season will be limited to the time of year when temperatures are hottest, and you won’t want to jump into the pool early in the morning or late in the evening.

You need a pool heater! With this system in place, swimming season can be all year long. You won’t hesitate to get in the water during the cool early-morning hours. Your yard will be the ideal spot for kids and grandkids to gather. It will even increase the value of your home. But the greatest benefit that you’ll get from having a pool heater is something that might not even have crossed your mind.

Whether you’ve newly gotten a pool, are considering a pool heater for the first time, or simply need a pool heater replacement in Ferry Pass, FL, we would love to help you make your pool the health spa of your dreams.

Ahh, a fireplace. It’s the ideal image of a toasty, cozy, welcoming space.

A gas-burning fireplace can provide that welcoming atmosphere and cozy, homey feeling without getting your living room covered in sawdust, bark bits, and ash. And it can help you to spend less on heating. Not only is a gas-burning fireplace more efficient than one that burns wood, it’s also a cheaper way to heat than your electric furnace. Here’s why.

There are two things about heat pumps that make them absolutely amazing. The first is their efficiency, especially when it comes to heating. Since they only transfer heat rather than having to generate it, they use less energy in comparison to other heating systems such as furnaces.

What good is this amazing system when it can’t do the jobs it’s designed to do? If your heat pump won’t switch modes, there’s one component which is responsible: the reversing valve. We’ll tell you everything you need to know.
