CONSERVING A FEW CASH ON YOUR CYCLIC BILLS

A hot tub is undeniably something very expensive. A regular hot tub can rack you up at least a thousand bucks. However, the benefits you can reap form having a hot tub are so worth the price. You will have your own spa at home where you can bask in and relax anytime you want and as much as you like. Coming home on evenings after work can be such a treat when you can release all your stress with a soothing massage and soothing warmth of the water. Bodily aches and pains are given relief and peace of mind can also be restored.

Now, when you buy a hot tub, a lot of things have to be put in to consideration, especially the costs of buying and owning one. Yes, a hot tub is expensive but the costs do not end in paying for it alone. There are installation costs and service costs for servicemen and technicians. We are a service provider for hottubsdepot.com. Plumbing, wiring, even maintenance of the hot tub can be quite pricey, especially if you do not take care of it properly there’s also water bills and electricity bills as the hot tub uses water and is essentially an electrical appliance. Now, say you have paid for all the costs and your hot tub has been installed, you have to think of a way to at least save up on the monthly utility or electrical bills.

One way to save up on your hot tub’s electrical consumption is to ensure it has a proper fitting hot tub cover. A hot tub cover is often taken for granted by owners but they fail to realize that the hot tub cover acts as an insulating agent which traps heat inside your hot tub to help keep the water warm when it is not n use. Without a cover, it takes more power to keep the water in the hot tub warm when not in use. Be sure also to check you hot tub cover for any damage or cracks and holes which allows heat to escape. If your cover is damaged, try to fix or replace them.

Normally, a hot tub is set on a default temperature of 104 degrees. This temperature is the ideal or optimum temperature which can provide soothing experience to the body. You may opt to turn this temperature down to 102 degrees or lower to save up on electricity consumption. Yes, it may not be the “optimum” temperature but a couple of degrees lower wouldn’t be much of a difference plus you can save a few bucks on your monthly electric consumption.

When you would not be using your hot tub for a while, it is best to lower the hot tub to its lowest possible temperature in order to save power. If you are going on long trips like vacation or when you know that the hot tub would not be used in a long time, you may opt to turn the power ff and unplug the wires completely. You may need to wait a while for the water to warm up on your next hot tub bath, but at least you’ve saved a few bucks.
