As the cost of electricity has gone up there has been a number of people turning off their hot tubs due to them costing too much to run. Although they are not really cheap to run, a modern well insulated hot tub may cost a whole lot less than you think.
The cost of running a hot tub in the UK can vary depending on several factors such as the quality of the hot tub, how often it’s used, and the cost of electricity. However, based on the information from one hot tub website, here is a rough estimate:
- Electricity: £400 – £475 per year
- Service Costs: £150 – £300 per year
- Consumables and Water Care: £250 – £300 per year
This makes the total cost of running a hot tub approximately £800 – £1,075 per year. This breaks down to about £15 – £20.50 per week, or around £2.20 – £3.00 per day.
Please note that these costs can vary and it’s always a good idea to consult with a hot tub professional or supplier for more accurate and personalized estimates. Also, keep in mind that there are ways to reduce these costs, such as buying a quality hot tub, ensuring it’s well-insulated, maintaining it properly, and using energy-efficient practices.
A great way of running the hot tub for free would be to add solar to your house, here at Selec Group our hot tub now runs for free after the installation of our solar roof.
