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

<< < (3/4) > >>

richierich:
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.

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.

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...
