Is There a Way to Minimize Hot Tub Operating Costs?
There are a few ways in which you can help lower your hot tub operation costs. Like many heated devices, electricity is required to operate a hot tub. With electricity use, especially for a device as large as a hot tub, comes a monthly electricity bill. A combination of a few smart practices, investments, and hot tub maintenance will ensure that you keep your hot tub operating costs as low as possible.
Tips for Minimizing Hot Tub Operating Costs
- Insulation: Insulating the shell of your hot tub can help prevent heat loss and will keep your hot tub warmer for longer, resulting in less energy expenditure.
- Hot Tub Cover: Similar to insulation, a quality hot tub cover helps promote heat retention. So when you turn on your hot tub, it will remain at the desired temperature for longer, even after you turn off the heat, as opposed to leaving your hot tub open as it is heating up.
- Lower the Temperature: Oftentimes, you can lower the temperature of your hot tub slightly without a noticeable difference. Setting a lower temperature on your tub can also help lower energy expenditure and your costs.
- Schedule Heating During Off-Peak Hours: If your local municipality utilizes a time-of-use pricing schedule for electricity, then you can intentionally schedule your hot tub sessions for non-peak hours so that the price per kilowatt hour is less.
