Spas & Hot Tubs

Absolutely. Modern spas and hot tubs are designed for all-season use, with powerful heaters and efficient insulation that maintain comfortable temperatures even in freezing weather. While winter operation may slightly increase energy costs, many people find winter soaks particularly enjoyable and therapeutic.

Most residential spas and hot tubs are designed to accommodate 4-6 people comfortably, though sizes range from intimate 2-person models to larger 8-person units. The key is choosing a size that fits both your space and typical social gatherings while ensuring each seat has ample room for comfort.

Monthly operating costs typically range from $20 to $60 depending on your location and usage. This includes electricity for heating and running jets, water care products, and basic maintenance. Energy-efficient models with quality covers can significantly reduce these costs, especially in moderate climates.

Regular maintenance is straightforward but essential. You’ll need to check water chemistry 2-3 times per week, clean the filter monthly, and drain and refill the water every 3-4 months. Modern sanitization systems have simplified this process, making it manageable for most homeowners without professional help.
