If you've decided that your swimming pool would benefit from having a heat pump, you should contact a plumber to assist you with this. Here are some reasons why.

They might be able to get a tradesperson's discount from a swimming pool heat pump supplier

If you decide to buy the pump yourself and go shopping for it on swimming pool heat suppliers' websites, you'll have to pay the standard retail price for it. However, if you contact a plumber and arrange for them to order this heat pump for you, they may be able to purchase it for a lot less if they order it from a tradesperson's supply shop.

If they can do this, you might then be able to afford to get a more expensive and much higher-quality heat pump that is highly efficient and powerful. If you get an efficient heat pump, this will allow you to keep your pool-heating bills fairly low, which could prove very useful if you like to use your pool in the winter and want the water to be comfortably warm even on cold days. As such, having one that delivers the heat you need without consuming vast amounts of electricity could be very handy. In short, even though you'll need to pay the plumber a fee, you could end up making big savings on your electricity bills in the future if you involve this professional in your project.

Your pump's warranty will remain valid if you have the plumber do the installation

Most warranties for plumbing and electrical items that require installation stipulate that these items have to be fitted by a plumber or an electrician; if this stipulation is included in a warranty, then it will not be valid if the unqualified owner of the item decides to install it themselves.

As such, if the plumber installs the heat pump for you, the warranty that came with the pump will remain valid. This will mean that the heat pump supplier will provide a replacement pump, at no cost to yourself, if the one you have develops a fault or breaks down before the warranty period ends. This would make the replacement of the pump quick and easy and would mean that if you happened to be low on cash when it broke, you wouldn't have to put up with swimming in a cold pool until you could afford to get a new one.
