What to know about Pool heating
Heating a pool is usually sold as a comfort decision and is actually a regulated one. The ABCB Housing Provisions set out, in the energy efficiency part, what may heat a swimming pool in a new or altered house: a solar heater not boosted by electric resistance heating, a heater using reclaimed energy, a gas heater, a heat pump, or a combination of those. Simple electric element heating, the cheapest thing to buy and the most expensive thing to run, is written out of the list.

How to choose pool technicians in Hervey Bay
- Choose a company that works on your type of pool or hot tub, whether it's in-ground, above-ground or a spa.
- For a new pool, ask who handles the permit, the fencing requirements and the electrical and gas connections.
- Make sure electrical and gas work for heaters, pumps and hot tubs is done by licensed trades.
- Get a written quote that covers excavation, backfill, equipment, decking and site restoration.
- For openings, closings and maintenance, ask exactly what each visit includes.
Questions to ask pool technicians before you hire
- Who will get the permit, and what fencing or gate rules will I need to meet?
- Who will do the electrical and gas hookups, and are they licensed?
- What equipment do you recommend, and why?
- What does the warranty cover for the pool shell or liner, the equipment and your installation?
- How will you get equipment into my yard, and how will you restore the lawn afterwards?
- What is included in an opening, closing or maintenance visit?
