To all our friends in Nevada:

We want you to know that we have thousand of heat pumps in the western states and Nevada is the 16th most popular state for our heat pumps in the United States.
We have some campgrounds, motels and resorts who have removed their working gas heaters and installed heat pumps. Also many newly constructed homes are starting out with heat pumps. Some of our customers use our heat pumps with the hot gas defrost to heat in temperatures below 50 degrees. We still find that many pool contractors only know about gas heaters and that some of our customers have been given a hard time about their decision to use a heat pump by their local heating professionals. In over 24 years in this business and almost 7 years on the Web we have not had one customer from Nevada who regretted his decision to use a heat pump to heat their pool.
In fact we find that once somebody gets one in a certain area, they convert their friends and neighbors away from gas and oil to the most efficient technology available to heat pools; heat pumps.

I live in Las Vegas and had just purchased an 15x30x52" above ground pool in August by the middle of September it was much colder than normal for this time of year and our water temp. dropped to 60 degrees. I went in search of a pool heater and after checking out all different types I decided on a Heat Pump. There was just one problem, I went to about 7 different pool stores and they either didn't know what one was or they said they don't work in our climate its not humid enough, one company said you can't heat an above ground pool because the sides are metal and it would never work. They all said gas was the way to go. That's when I called you. I received my Hayward hp1100 in the second week in October. We installed it in 1 day. Although we did make 7 trips to home depot. The day we turned it on the water temp was 60 degrees. We ran the unit for 48 hours non stop and was swimming in it 2 days after we turned it on at a temperature of 94. We keep a solar blanket on the pool at night and when we are not swimming and it is now Nov 19 and we went swimming last night in 90 degree water. The high day air temp is in the mid 60s and the low at night has been in the mid 40s. I run the pump all day to keep it at this temp. But it is way cheaper than using a gas unit. So many people have pools in Las Vegas and they really should know about heat pumps. They work great, my family is thrilled that we can probably swim all year.


Thank You So Much
