The Heat & Cool Model Changes Everything
You live in Florida for the sunshine, the outdoor living, and the pool in your backyard. So why is that pool sitting empty half the time? Most pool owners only think about heating. However, true comfort requires balance. The Built Right BR135XW H&C pool heat pump unit gives you total control of your pool temperature. You can heat your pool in January. You can chill your pool in August. It is the only way to enjoy your investment year-round.
Most standard heaters only solve half of your problem. They keep you warm during the occasional cold snap. But what about the heat of our brutal summer months? This BR135XW H/C model acts like a climate control system for your water. It pulls heat out of the air to warm your pool. Conversely, it pulls heat out of the water to cool it as well.
Yes, we need heat in the winter months. December through February, the water temperature drops fast. Without a heater, your pool sits unused during some of the most beautiful weather of the year. Visitors come down from up north, and you can’t even invite them to swim.
However, the summer months has a far less talked about problem in southern Florida. The Florida sun feels like a heavy blanket. You expect the pool to offer a cool escape. Instead, the water 90+ degree water feels like a warm bath. It does not refresh you. In fact, it makes the heat feel worse.
So the question isn’t just “How do I heat my pool?” The real question is: “How do I enjoy my pool every month of the year?” The top-rated Built Right BR135XW H&C answers both questions at once. It heats when you need heat. It cools when you need cool. One unit. One investment. Year-round comfort.
Who Is the BR135XW H&C Right For
We recommend this unit for Florida pool owners who want to enjoy their pool in every month of the year, not just the eight months when the temperature cooperates.
Families with Children or Grandchildren
You don’t live in Florida so your kids could stand at the edge of a pool and say it’s too hot to get in. You didn’t invest in a pool so your grandchildren could last twenty minutes before climbing out, because it is too cold. With the BR135XW H&C your pool is ready when your people are.
Homeowners Who Love to Entertain
When guests fly down from up north in January, they want to be in the water. That’s half the reason they came. When you host a summer cookout in July, you want a pool that feels refreshing, not like warm soup. The BR135XW H&C makes sure your pool is always the centerpiece of the party, never the apology. So you can invite people over with complete confidence, in any month, in any weather.
Airbnb and VRBO Rental Property Owners
Every five-star review that mentions your pool drives the next booking. Every complaint about uncomfortable water costs you one. Short-term rental guests in Florida expect a pool that actually works. The BR135XW H&C turns your listing into a year-round destination. Because when guests can swim comfortably in January and cool off in August, they remember it, and they write about it.
Owners of Large Pools or Pool-and-Spa Combinations
A large pool demands more than a standard heat pump can deliver. So does a pool-and-spa setup that needs two different temperature zones managed reliably at the same time. The BR135XW H&C’s 130,000 BTU output gives you the real capacity to heat large water volumes efficiently. The dual-mode cooling function means your pool stays refreshing all summer while your spa stays warm and ready. One unit. Both needs handled. No compromises.
Pool Owners With Overheated Summer Water
If your pool faces west or south, you already know the problem. In the summer the sun hammers that water all day. By afternoon, it’s well over 90 degrees and nobody wants to get in. Most pool owners assume there’s no solution and just wait for fall to arrive. However, the BR135XW H&C gives you actual cooling capabilities. Set your target temperature, and the unit pulls the heat out of the water until it gets there. Your pool becomes a relief on the hottest days, not another reason to stay indoors.
Anyone Ready to Upgrade From a Heat-Only Pump
If you already have a heat pump and it’s time to replace it, this is the moment to upgrade. Going back to heat-only means accepting the same summer frustration all over again. However, stepping up to the BR135XW H&C means you never have that problem again. The cost difference between a standard replacement and a heat-and-cool unit is smaller than most people expect. Plus, the difference in how much you actually use and enjoy your pool, that’s enormous.
Key Pool Heater Features
If you are live in Florida and looking for a top rated replacement pool heater/chiller combination, this electric heat pump is a smart, long-term investment for your pool and spa with the following key features:
- Pool Sizes: We recommend it for larger pools and pool-and-spa combinations. It delivers 130,000 BTUs of heating power for pools up to 27,000 gallons or 650 ft2 of surface area. With the BR135XW H&C you get fast, reliable warmth and cooling capabilities without straining to keep up.
- Titanium Heat Exchanger: Florida’s salt air and high humidity are hard on outdoor equipment. That’s why the BR135XW H&C uses a titanium heat exchanger — not copper, not cupro-nickel. Titanium offers the highest corrosion resistance available in pool heating technology.
- Weather-Resistant Design: Built Right right for Florida’s weather conditions, the BR135XW H&C is built with long life and weather-resistance in mind. It features an impact-resistant polymer cabinet that stands up to salt air, humidity, and scorching heat. This UV- and corrosion-proof housing protects your heater and ensures long-lasting performance year after year.
- Superior Heating Efficiency: Instead of burning fuel or converting electricity directly into heat, a heat pump moves existing heat. For every unit of electricity consumed, it can deliver multiple units of heat energy. Therefore, operating costs are a fraction of what you’d pay with gas or traditional resistance heaters. That efficiency adds up to real savings on your monthly electric bill — month after month, year after year.
- Quiet Operation: With its unique swept-wing fan blades, the BR135XW HC operates quietly, you can enjoy your morning coffee, your evening dinner outside, and your family conversations. Undisturbed.
- Perfect Upgrade or Replacement: The BR135XW H/C is a top-rated choice and perfect upgrade from a traditional heater only pool heater. With standard 2″ inlet and outlet fittings, it connects easily to your existing setup. Electrical hookups are simple too—just connect into your current system and enjoy immediate comfort.
- Industry Best Warranty: Built Right stands behind every unit they make. Your BR135XW H&C comes with a 5-year Full Factory Warranty covering both parts and labor. If something goes wrong, local factory technicians will handle the repair or replacement at no extra cost.
- Made in the USA: The BR135XW H/C is proudly Made in the USA, manufactured locally by Built Right in Punta Gorda, Florida.
