Get matched with top hot tub or spa installers and replacers in your area

Annual hot tub upkeep costs between $500 and $1,000, covering deep cleans, filter changes, and chemical maintenance. Plan to drain and clean the tub every few months to maintain its cleanliness. Hiring a professional for routine service costs $50 to $300 per visit, while most repairs range from $160 to $500. Staying on top of maintenance helps keep the water clean, protects components, and extends the spa’s lifespan.

The lifespan of a hot tub depends on its build quality and maintenance. Budget models may offer five years, mid-range units reach 10 years, and premium spas can last up to 20 years. Protect your investment with professional installation, a solid warranty, and routine care—clean water, balanced chemicals, and timely filter changes. Consistent upkeep is the easiest way to add years to any tub.

How much electricity does a hot tub use?

Most homeowners spend $20 to $30 per month to power a hot tub, although actual usage depends on factors such as size, insulation, temperature settings, and how often you use it. Choose an energy-efficient model, keep a tight-fitting insulated cover in place, and add a thermal blanket or solar heater to curb costs. Clean filters and balanced water chemistry also help the heater run at peak efficiency, trimming utility bills over time.
