Best For
Longer swim seasons with better control and efficient running.
How hybrid works
Hybrid heating pairs two sources that complement each other. Solar collectors provide low-cost heat during sunny periods, while a heat pump provides backup when solar output drops.
Why it improves the customer experience
Customers get a longer, more predictable swimming season without relying on one technology to do everything. It is especially useful for families who want comfort in spring and autumn.
What we assess
We look at pool size, roof area, shade, preferred swim months, desired water temperature, existing equipment and whether rooftop solar PV can help offset heat pump energy use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is hybrid pool heating the best option?
It is often the premium option for comfort and season length, but not every customer needs it. We compare it against solar-only and heat-pump-only options during quoting.
Can hybrid reduce running costs?
It can, because the solar system handles much of the heating load and the heat pump only supports the pool when extra heat is needed.
