How much does your hot tub cost to heat 24/7 a month

[TubbinLuvin]

I’m being told multiple things by dif manufacturers

One said only 13 a month and another said about a dollar  a day

It depends on a lot of things. How much you use it, climate you are in, electric rates you pay and things like that. Also depends on brand. Some insulate better then others

[castletonia]

Ask what criteria was used to arrived at $13 a month.  $1.00 per day in my opinion is far more accurate for the best insulated brands unless your in a warm climate.

One is being far more honest than the other or maybe one is just far more informed than the other. I think you know which is which.

I believe I can trend below $20 a month during summer with my A8 even whilst keeping it above 90 degrees.  In the dead of winter I should be right around the $40-45 range at 100/101.

I'm in Michigan.  And the Bullfrog I own "should be" one of the better performing models out there from an energy efficiency standpoint.  I would not be shocked if a lower-end spa in my climate was pushing $80+ a month in February...

I. Have a meter on the power to my 965L. 535 gallons. And the extra insulation package. Water temp set to 100F and filtering 2 hours out of 12. An hour north of Durham NC.

On a co-op with tiered rates. Since December when we got it, cold months about 500-550kwhrs at marginal rate 7.5 cents. So $35 or so.

Upcoming summer months rate goes up to 9.5 cents but kwhrs should come way down.

On another thread you are talking about not having enough chlorine with @ease. Part of your problem is most likely not enough filtration.

The only way to know is to meter your tub, not that complicated. A well insulated tub 20-30 per month average. Not so well insulated 50-60 or more.

13 bucks a month if you don't use it, keep it covered and turn the temp down to 70 and your local climate stays above 70 deg.

Thank you for all of your replies

The thing is , I live in the Midwest

If I was to heat it 24/7 But was only to keep it

At around 95 degrees when I’m not in it

How long would it take to get from 95 to 103-104

If it was too only take 1 hour to go from 95 to 103

Then I’d be fine with that . I’d prolly want to get in it

Once per day for around 25 minutes

Boy this forum is a godsend

On average I would say around 3 degrees an hour it takes to bring up the temp of the tub.  I have a Bullfrog X7L that's less than a year old and I am willing to bet my tub is costing me around $60-100 a month extra keeping it between 101-103 degrees, 24/7 throughout the Michigan winter.  That being said...We do use it almost every day for at least 30 minutes.

A 220 wired hot tub heats on average 5 to 7 degrees an hour. Cost per month to run the tub should be around 30 to 50 dollars. Where you live and how much you use the tub are variables.

There's no way it's costing you that much.  Unless maybe you leave your cover off for extended periods of time or some other strange factor.....

60 bucks or more is common here in the midwest in the winter. The summer can be better at 30-40. The only ones I see do better here in the midwest winters are Hot Springs, D1 or other fully foamed tubs with circ pumps.

My highest ever energy bill (gas+electric) before the hot tub was only around $175...I had a bill over $300 this winter.  I ALWAYS leave the cover on, unless we're in the tub or I'm shocking it or adding chemicals etc.

If that was in January (Feb bill) that was not a typical energy month in Michigan.  If you think you're paying $100 a month consistently in the cold months for your X7 in Michigan you need to start trouble shooting.  You might have a pump running 24/7 or messed up filter cycles.  No way it should cost this much...
