A hot tub is a long-term, life-changing investment. It brings several benefits to your home, from health and wellness, to socialising and family time. Understanding the overall spa cost is important when making your decision.
The cost of a tub is more than just the initial sticker price in the store. It includes the costs of add-ons and accessories.
It also covers installation and setup. On top of this, it accounts for energy use and long-term water care and maintenance. Assess the potential cost of your tub by considering the following.
How much does a hot tub cost?
1. Initial Purchase Cost |
Your investment cost will vary based on the model you choose. Some factors to consider are whether you want a LEEP™ or HYBRID4®, how many seats you want, or the number of FLEXJETS™. This can change the initial cost of your hot tub.
Beachcomber has an option for every space and budget, helping determine your tub price. You will always get the best quality product no matter what model or series you choose, and no matter your price range.

2. Delivery and Installation Costs
|
There are many pre-delivery requirements for a Beachcomber. You need to make sure the area you have chosen is suitable for the weight of your new tub. Make sure there is a solid base underneath. Some people use patio blocks or a concrete slab to prevent sinking.
You then need to consider any delivery costs on the day, and whether you want someone to do a wet start. These are all things to consider before delivery.
After the delivery, there are requirements for installation. You will need to install a GFCI breaker into your yard, and a licensed electrician must complete this task. Make sure you add this to your budget when considering your options and when preparing for installig your hot tub.

3. Warranty or Guarantee Cost
|
Every Beachcomber comes with a water-tight guarantee. We commit to make hot tubs of the best quality. We show this with the guarantee that comes with each one.
Should you wish to extend the coverage period, Beachcomber offers a Premium Guarantee. This will be an extra cost. Be sure to think about this when you create your budget and set your expenses.

4. Energy Costs
|
So how much does it cost to run a hot tub? When you are deciding which hot tub model you want, you need to consider the energy efficiency of the spa. Not all hot tub brands put energy conservation or your electricity bill at the forefront of their production. Insulation, filtration systems, spa covers, and energy-saving systems can affect energy usage.
Insulation has a huge impact on the amount of energy you will use to heat and use your home spa. That is why every Beachcomber model is well insulated. This helps retain the heat, meaning that you require less energy to heat the water. When you add the Heatshield™ hot tub cover, you are sure to reduce the potential costs!
Our HYBRID4™ premium hot tubs also have several features that enhance the energy efficiency. The HushPump™ System, the Eco4WALL™ Foam-filled insulation, the Energy Saver Management System. This is where you must consider the initial cost versus the long-term cost. Is a greater investment in the cost of the hot tub worth lowering your long-term cost?
These are questions you should ask when wondering how much a hot tub costs.

Staying within budget is everyone’s desire when making an investment such as a hot tub. Many people set their budget but don’t think of the various costs associated with it.
You may choose to purchase a $5,000 hot tub that has little insulation and no energy saving capabilities. While the initial cost is low, this hot tub will have a much higher cost in the long run.
