Does Solar Pool Heating Add Value to Your Home?

Homes are investments and everything you do to them comes with a return. Remodeling a kitchen or adding more energy efficient appliances are all great ways to not only improve the comfortability of your home, but also the overall value of your home. So it begs the question; does adding solar pool heating to my home increase it’s value? Is it worth the investment for me to install solar pool heating? Solar Pool Supply has the answers!

Does Solar Pool Heating Add Value to Your Home?

Yes! Potential homeowners are always looking for ways to save and to get the most bang for the buck. By purchasing a home that not only already has a pool installed, but that also has solar pool heating installed is a huge plus, because it means the potential homeowner won’t have to have solar installed themselves. Convenience is key and the less work that someone has to do, the more likely they are to invest in the project. According to the Retail Insight Network, “78 percent of consumers say they value convenience more today than they did before the pandemic.” The more convenient it is for potential home-buyers to just move in without having to hire a crew to install solar or any other addition, the more likely they are to purchase a home with these improvements pre-installed.

Solar is good for the environment as it keeps you from using natural gas-heaters, helping to further reduce your carbon footprint, and potential homeowners love that.  People are house hunting for eco-friendly homes. According to a recent study by the National Association of Realtors (NAR), 59% of buyers want an environmentally friendly home.* The NAR’s reporting’s also found that 69% of commercial and residential realtors documented that listing homes as being energy-efficient was either very, or somewhat valuable.  People care about the environment, they care about being eco-friendly and they care about purchasing homes that can save them money, as well as do the least amount of harm to the environment as possible.

By installing solar pool heating, not only are you protecting the environment, but you are also installing savings for yourself and whomever moves in after you. Because solar pool heating has virtually zero operational costs, you can expect to pay roughly $60/year to heat your pool with solar alone. According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL0), every dollar saved on energy through solar increases a home’s value by nearly $20!* If you were to heat your pool with natural gas, you could expect to pay nearly triple the price you'd be paying for solar pool heating. This means that you could potentially save thousands of dollar over the lifetime of your solar pool heating system, while also dramatically increasing the value of your home! That is a monumental chunk of change to pass up on.

Installing solar pool heating brings in instant savings and ROI if you are planning on selling your home in the future. By adding an eco-friendly heating option that also saves money, you can significantly increase your homes comfort and value. Adding solar pool heating is an excellent investment.
