Frequently asked questions about hot tub finance

• Are hot tubs costly to run?

  A hot tub's running costs include electricity, water, and chemicals. These vary depending on how often you use it, where it’s situated, the size, capacity, insulation, and heater. As of May 2023, a hot tub costs around £2.74 a day to run, but this may differ based on overall usage, weather, temperature, cover, insulation, changes in energy costs and your tub’s age and efficiency.

• Is it worth investing in a hot tub?

  If you plan on using a hot tub on a regular basis, then buying a hot tub is definitely worth it! There are many advantages to owning a hot tub including its hydrotherapy benefits. Hydromassage helps relieve aching joints, arthritis as well as destressing after a long day. Larger 6 person hot tubs or 8 seater tubs are also perfect for socialising with family and friends in your garden.

• Is it cheaper to leave a hot tub on all the time?

  Hot tubs are designed to be switched on all the time; this is the most efficient way of running them. When you switch it off, it uses a lot more electricity to get the water back up to temperature than it does to just keep it at temperature. However, you can lower the temperature when you’re not using it to help keep costs low. Check out our energy-saving hot tub tips here.
