Services
Solar Pool Heating
Our solar pool heating systems extend swim seasons from 34 months to 79 months using free solar energy. Water circulates through rooftop panels that capture sunlight, requiring no fuel costs. Ideal for Northeast Florida's climate, these systems provide reliable temperature control while eliminating propane or gas expenses.
Heat Pump Pool Heaters
Electric heat pump pool heaters maintain consistent temperatures year-round by extracting ambient heat from air. Operating at approximately $350 annually for 85F pools, they offer efficient heating without fuel dependency. Perfect for supplementing solar systems or standalone use in covered pool environments.
Solar Water Heaters
Our solar water heating systems reduce annual energy costs $300$500 by harnessing solar energy through thermal collectors. Systems include backup heating elements for cloudy periods, combining sustainability with reliability. Qualified installations qualify for federal tax credits and utility rebates.
Heat Pump Water Heaters
Hybrid heat pump water heaters cut energy use by transferring heat from ambient air to water. With lower upfront costs than solar systems and comparable savings, these units integrate with existing plumbing while reducing annual water heating costs by up to 60%.
