Bullfrog electric usage

--- Quote from: Beck0101 on February 05, 2018, 12:28:33 pm ---In the "for what it's worth" department - I had a record high electric bill in January as well (West Michigan). I've had my A8 since October 2016 and noted last year that the average winter electric bill was right around $40 higher than years prior.
My January bill was around $80 higher than anything I've experienced since installing the tub. I wasn't planning on doing much until I see my Feb bill. If it gets back down to normal I'll consider it weather induced. If not, I'll start looking for other problems.

Same...My electric bill (also in West Michigan) was very high in January...Probably over $100 more than normal.

Ok, well maybe it was all weather related....will wait and see. Did you notice much of an increase in summer months?

My summer bills were maybe $20 higher than pre-tub. Perhaps less. Hardly noticeable, particularly when the AC starts running.

It's comforting to know others saw this. I was moderately shocked by my bill....

Comforting but still not cool
Jacuzzi Jim:
All the spa marketing BS aside, if you guys are in the parts of the country with below zero temps. Your heating systems are working twice or 3 times harder as well, same with the water heater dealing with colder incoming water temps. So it can all add up. Not saying it's not the hot tub, but you have to factor in other things as well. Now if your all nat gas, probably another story.
