A propane pool heater lets you swim earlier in spring, later into fall and on the cool summer evenings that come with living near the coast. Wrightington Propane supplies propane for pool and spa heaters across the South Shore, and we take care of the propane side of the job: sizing the tank, running the gas line and keeping your heater fueled all season.
Why Heat Your Pool with Propane?
Propane pool heaters warm water quickly, so you can heat the pool when you want to use it instead of running equipment around the clock. They also hold their output on cool, cloudy or windy days, when heaters that pull warmth from the outside air slow down. That makes propane a good fit for South Shore pools, where a chilly May or September night can drop the water temperature fast.
- Fast heat-up when you decide to swim
- Steady performance in cool or damp weather
- A longer swim season on both ends of summer
- One fuel for the whole property if your home already uses propane for heat, hot water, cooking or a propane fireplace
Sizing Your Propane Tank for a Pool Heater
Pool heaters use more propane than most household appliances, so the tank needs to keep up. If your home already has a propane tank, we’ll look at your combined usage and tell you whether it can handle the pool heater too or whether a larger tank makes sense. For a new setup, we’ll recommend a tank size and location and handle the propane tank installation, aboveground or underground, along with the permits.
Gas Line Hookups to Your Heater
We run the gas line from your propane tank to the pool or spa heater and make the connection, so the propane side of your system is installed safely and to code. If you’re adding other outdoor propane equipment at the same time, like a grill, fire pit or outdoor fireplace, we can plan those lines together.
Never Run Low Mid-Season
A pool heater can use propane quickly during a cold snap. With automatic propane delivery and a wireless tank monitor, we see your level and schedule a delivery before you run low, so the water stays warm when you have guests over.
Pool Heater Tips to Save Propane
- Use a pool cover when the pool isn’t in use. Most of a pool’s heat escapes from the surface, and a cover holds it in.
- Set a comfortable temperature and leave it there instead of making big jumps.
- Heat the pool before you plan to swim rather than keeping it hot all week.
- Shelter the pool from wind with fencing or plantings where you can.
Propane Pool Heater FAQs
Can my pool heater run off the same tank as my house?
Often, yes, as long as the tank is sized for both. We’ll review your usage and let you know if a larger tank is a better choice.
Do you deliver propane for spa and hot tub heaters?
Yes. We supply propane for pool and spa heaters and can run the gas line to either.
How much propane does a pool heater use?
It depends on the size of the pool, the temperature you keep, the weather and whether you use a cover. Tell us about your setup and we’ll help you plan your tank size and deliveries.
Do you serve my town?
We deliver throughout the South Shore and nearby Cape Cod towns, including Plymouth, Duxbury, Hingham, Marshfield and Sandwich. See all the towns on our service area list.
