Enjoy warmer water more often with professional pool heating and pool heat pump installation in Durban.
Durban’s climate is great for swimming — but even here, pool water can feel too cold on windy days, after heavy rain, or in the shoulder months when you still want to use the pool but the temperature drops faster than expected.
Pool heating solves that problem by keeping water at a more comfortable temperature, so you swim more often and get more value from your pool investment.
At Premium Pools, we provide pool heating installation and pool heating repairs in Durban, with a focus on practical, energy-conscious solutions. For many homes, pool heat pumps are the most popular option because they offer reliable heating with good efficiency — especially when correctly sized for the pool and installed in the right location.
Whether you’re adding heating to a new pool build, upgrading an older setup, or your existing heater needs repairs, we’ll guide you through the right option based on your pool size, how often you swim, and your expectations around running costs.
We serve Durban and nearby suburbs including uMhlanga, Durban North, La Lucia, Mount Edgecombe, Westville, Berea, Musgrave, Glenwood, Kloof and Hillcrest, with selective extended coverage into Umdloti and Amanzimtoti where scheduling allows.

Why Pool Heating Makes Sense in Durban
1) Swim more often, not only in peak summer
Many homeowners invest in a pool but only use it when water is “perfect.” Heating makes swimming more consistent — especially in the mornings, evenings, and the months where the weather is still good but the water isn’t.
2) Comfortable water after rain and wind
After heavy rain, pool water can cool quickly. Heating helps stabilise temperature and makes it easier to enjoy the pool even when Durban’s weather is unpredictable.
3) Better value from your pool investment
When a pool becomes usable more often, it becomes part of your lifestyle — not something you “sometimes” use.

Pool Heat Pumps in Durban (The Most Common Choice)
Pool heat pumps are popular because they can provide reliable heating efficiently when installed and sized correctly. The key is not only buying “a heat pump” — it’s selecting the right capacity for your pool and placing it properly for airflow and long-term performance.
We help you understand:
What heat pump capacity is realistic for your pool size
Where to place it for good airflow and a neat finish
How it fits into your filtration setup and daily routine
How to combine heating with simple heat retention steps for better results
Pool Heating Repairs in Durban (When Heating Stops Working)
If your pool heater or heat pump isn’t performing, it usually shows up as:
Water not warming up as expected
Heating that works intermittently
Reduced heat output compared to before
Strange behaviour during heating cycles
Performance changes after weather exposure or wear over time
We provide pool heating repairs in Durban and will recommend the correct next step based on the symptoms and your existing setup.
Heat Retention: The “Secret” to Better Heating Results
Heating works best when your pool holds onto warmth. A good pool cover can reduce heat loss and evaporation, which means:
The heater doesn’t have to work as hard
The pool stays warm for longer
Running costs are often more manageable
If you want, we can advise on combining pool heating with pool covers for better day-to-day results.
What Affects Pool Heating Costs in Durban?
Costs depend on:
Pool size and desired temperature (bigger pools need more capacity)
The type of heating system and installation complexity
Placement and site access (routing, positioning, airflow planning)
Whether it’s a new installation or an upgrade to an existing pool
Whether you’re also adding heat retention upgrades (like covers)
