Re: Heat Pump or Gas or. Solar
Welcome to the forum.
I'm thinking that a 'classic' heat pump in Toronto won't work too well because of the cooler outside temperatures just when you need it. By classic I mean using air to warm the evaporator. If you tap ground heat to warm the evap then it may work OK. This is my gut feeling and a real analysis should be done to determine performance. A heat pump won't change the pool temp quickly.
Gas, depends on the price of gas in your area. It has the quickest recovery.
Solar, usually the cheapest in the long run and if you have space to build one yourself then the cost gets really cheap. Again, no quick recovery.
Hope this helps a little.
