Id love to get a hot tub for the garden so we can use it during the summer – or maybe even the winter when we e feeling brave! How much energy do they use?
These days you can buy hot tubs which are far more energy efficient than they were five or ten years ago. Big improvements have been made in the construction, controls and equipment, such as using preheated air for jets and low wattage pumps and lights. If you are definitely going to buy one, rather than look for a used model, it’s worth forking out for a newer, energy efficient one. An average sized energy efficient hot tub consumes 5-7 kWh per day, while a poorly insulated, inefficient hot tub may use 12-18 kWh per day*. Further savings can be achieved by using it sensibly.
