Gas heaters
ENERGY STAR says the federal efficiency standard for gas pool heaters is 82 percent, and the most efficient models reach 95 percent. Gas works best when you want to heat the pool quickly now and then.

Keep the heat
A cover can cut heating costs by as much as 50 to 70 percent, according to ENERGY STAR.
