Heat Pumps Long Island
Energy-efficient pool heat pumps from AquaCal, TropiCal, and Hayward. Sized for your pool, installed by a team with 25 years on Long Island.
Pool Heat Pumps That Pay for Themselves
A heat pump does not burn gas or propane. It pulls warmth from the outside air and transfers it into your pool water. That is why it costs a fraction of what a gas pool heater costs to run each month.
For homeowners in Bay Shore, West Islip, Babylon, and Deer Park who swim regularly from May through September, a heat pump is the most cost-effective way to keep the water comfortable all season. You set the temperature and the unit maintains it quietly in the background.
We install and service heat pumps from AquaCal, TropiCal, and Hayward across Nassau and Suffolk County. Every unit we sell gets matched to your pool volume, your property layout, and how you actually use your pool. Browse our full range of pool products to see what else we carry.
Heat Pump Brands We Carry
Three manufacturers we trust. Each one built for residential pools and tested in Long Island conditions.
AquaCal HeatWave SuperQuiet
Our top-selling heat pump. The SuperQuiet series runs so quietly you barely notice it. A pure titanium heat exchanger sits at the core, which means it handles salt systems and chemically treated water without corroding. If you run a saltwater chlorine generator, this is the unit we recommend first.
TropiCal Heat Pump
A dependable, efficient heat pump that fits any budget. The TropiCal is a solid choice for homeowners who want reliable pool heating without paying top dollar. It heats consistently through the swim season and holds up well in the humidity and salt air that Long Island properties deal with every summer.
Hayward HeatPro
High performance and energy efficient. The HeatPro runs quietly and maintains steady water temperature without the monthly gas bill. It comes standard with Hayward's Ultra Gold corrosion-resistant evaporator fin, which is built specifically for coastal environments. For pools in Lindenhurst, Copiague, Amityville, and anywhere near the Great South Bay, that corrosion resistance matters.
How a Pool Heat Pump Heats Your Water
A heat pump works like an air conditioner in reverse. It uses a fan to draw in warm outside air, passes that air over an evaporator coil filled with refrigerant, and the refrigerant absorbs the heat. A compressor then concentrates that warmth and transfers it into the pool water through a heat exchanger.
The process does not create heat from scratch. It moves existing heat from the air into your pool. That is why heat pumps use so much less energy than gas heaters. You are not burning fuel. You are relocating warmth that is already there.
- Works best when outside air temps stay above 50°F
- Heats gradually and maintains temperature consistently
- Uses about 1 unit of electricity to move 5 units of heat
- Monthly operating cost is a fraction of gas heater costs
- Pairs well with a solar cover or safety cover to reduce heat loss overnight
How We Size a Heat Pump for Your Pool
An undersized heat pump runs constantly and never gets the water where you want it. An oversized unit costs more upfront than it needs to. We get it right the first time.
Pool Volume
We calculate your total gallons based on pool dimensions and depth. A 15,000-gallon pool needs a different BTU output than a 25,000-gallon pool. This is where most online calculators get it wrong because they do not account for depth variations and irregular shapes common on Long Island properties.
Property Conditions
Wind exposure, shade from trees and fences, and how much direct sunlight hits the pool surface all affect heat loss. A pool in an open backyard in North Babylon loses heat faster than a fenced-in pool in Islip surrounded by hedges. We factor that in before recommending a size.
Your Usage Pattern
How often you swim and what temperature you want determines how hard the unit has to work. A family that swims every day at 84 degrees needs more capacity than someone who uses the pool on weekends at 80 degrees. We match the unit to how you actually live, not a generic chart.

Heat Pump or Gas Heater?
Heat pumps and gas heaters solve the same problem differently. Gas heaters burn fuel to create heat fast. They work in any temperature and can raise your pool 20 degrees in a few hours. Heat pumps move heat from the air into the water gradually. They cost less to run but take longer to reach target temperature.
If you swim regularly from May through September and want the lowest monthly bill, a heat pump is the better choice. If you heat on demand, swim into late October, or need the water warm for a weekend party on short notice, gas is the way to go. Some homeowners run both. Check our gas pool heaters page if you want to compare options side by side.
Keeping Your Heat Pump Running Right
Heat pumps need airflow to work. Leaves, grass clippings, and debris that collect around the unit restrict the fan and reduce efficiency. We check heat pump operation during weekly pool maintenance visits and flag problems before they turn into expensive fixes.
Routine maintenance includes clearing the area around the unit, cleaning the evaporator coil, checking refrigerant levels, and testing the thermostat. A heat pump that gets annual service runs more efficiently and lasts 10 to 15 years. One that gets ignored usually starts having problems around year 5 or 6.
If your current heat pump is not keeping up, cycling on and off, or making unusual noise, call us for pool repair. We service all the brands we sell and most of the ones we do not.
