Perks to Having a Propane Spa Heater

There are several different types of spa heaters. Each of these heaters has its pros and cons. If you are looking to add a new spa, or change out the heater on an existing spa, you should consider a propane heater. There are several benefits associated with propane heaters- comfort, cost and convenience are the top three. The following information should help you to make your decision.

Initial Cost & Cost of Ownership

A propane spa heater is a better deal financially, especially over the lifetime of the spa. However, you may pay a little more up-front to purchase a propane spa heater. The cost of installation is about the same as other types of heaters. However, over the course of ownership, you will find that the cost to operate the propane spa heater is much less than electric heaters and heaters that use other types of fuels. In fact, a propane spa heater will likely pay for itself over the lifetime of the heater. Many estimates show that a propane spa heater costs around 1/3 less to operate than an electric spa heater. This can save you thousands of dollars, depending upon frequency and duration of use. You can enjoy your spa without paying astronomical utility bills to do it.

Convenience & Efficiency

A propane spa heater will heat the water in the spa much faster than an electric heater. With electric heat, you have to wait for the water to heat up. In addition, you may have to let the heater run through a few cycles to get up to the temperature you desire. This is frustrating and takes away from the enjoyment of your spa. No one wants to have to remember to start the heater hours before they enjoy the spa, and no one wants to stand around impatiently waiting for the heater to do its job. With a propane heater, you will have a continuous supply of hot water, and the water is hot nearly instantaneously. This allows you to enjoy your spa anytime you want without a lot of hassle.

Environmental Concerns

It is important to choose a heater that uses a fuel source that is environmentally friendly. Much of our electricity is produced from coal or nuclear sources. These fuel sources may not be the safest or friendliest for the planet. Propane is safe for you, your family and your pets. It is also clean and releases minimal pollutants in the air. Experts agree that propane is one of the cleanest burning and most environmentally friendly fuel sources. This will allow you to enjoy your spa without worries about harming our planet.

Size & Comfort

A propane spa heater is generally much smaller than its electric counterpart, thanks to its increased efficiency. This will allow you to purchase a smaller model and avoid having a big eyesore of a heater marring the beauty of your peaceful spa area. You will have hot water at your fingertips so you can enjoy a peaceful oasis in the comfort of your own home. You'll never have to plan a huge weekend out of town for peace and quiet; you can have it whenever you wish.
