My living room has in floor heat & a gas fireplace that the wife seems to always have on in the winter. Plus the heat that comes through the glass wall from the pool keeps the room very warm. My heaters don't run hardly at all, if anything my chiller runs more often.

Internal is better for my system and less power. I am running LED lighting and my heaters where almost always on but now that I changed to internal the heaters almost never come on.
In my system the internal pump was way more quiet with more flow and less power consumption than external pump was. |

Inside to add heat, but also if the pump has a problem, it is contained within the sump.
