My natural gas pool heater is 30 years old. I am surprised it has lasted this long, but it would not surprise me if it would spring a leak one day. So I am saving up my $ for a replacment heater.
Location: Central Minnesota.
Electric rate = $0.08720 per KWH
Gas rate = $0.00908 per cu ft.
Solar cover is not an option since I use tight woven heavy duty safety cover (kids/pets/wild animals).
Solar panels not an option due to space.
Pool info in my signature. Anyone have recommendations of a heat pump or a natural gas heater in my situation? Cost to run one versus the other for the same BTU output?
