Installation

At our store, we currently stock a variety of hot tubs in different sizes and configurations. If you find something in our inventory that you like, we can usually have it delivered and ready for use within approximately 2 weeks. We will take care of the placement of the hot tub, but you are responsible for coordinating the electrical hookup and providing an appropriate base for the hot tub.

For those customers who prefer a full-service experience, we also offer general contractor services for the project, which includes handling both the electrical portion and the base preparation. This means that we can take care of all aspects of the installation, from arranging the electrical hookup and ensuring that it is done safely and efficiently, to preparing the base and ensuring that it is level and stable for the hot tub.

Yes, hot tubs must be installed on a flat, level surface to ensure that they are stable and safe to use. A hot tub that is not installed on a level surface can be unstable, which can be dangerous for those who use it. In addition, an unlevel hot tub may not function properly, with water that is not evenly distributed and jets that do not work as intended.

There are several types of surfaces that are suitable for hot tub installation, including a SmartDeck, a reinforced deck, a patio, pavers, or a concrete pad.

When choosing a surface for your hot tub, it’s important to consider the weight of the hot tub and the structural requirements of the surface. A hot tub can be very heavy, so it is important to make sure that the surface you choose can support its weight. In addition, it is important to make sure that the surface is level, as an unlevel surface can cause problems with the operation of the hot tub.

Most hot tubs require special wiring to operate safely and efficiently. Depending on the model you choose, with the exception of plug-and-play models, you may need to have your hot tub wired by a licensed electrician. The cost of electrical installation for a hot tub can vary widely, depending on factors such as the size of the hot tub, the complexity of the installation, and the location of the hot tub. On average, you can expect to pay between $500 and $1,500 for electrical installation for a hot tub, although prices may be higher or lower depending on your specific circumstances.

To ensure the safety of your hot tub and those who use it, it is important to have your hot tub wired by a licensed electrician who is knowledgeable about the specific requirements for hot tubs. In addition to installing the necessary wiring, an electrician may also recommend installing a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outside as an emergency disconnect for the hot tub. This can make it easier for service technicians to access the hot tub if needed and can help protect against electrical accidents.

Hot tubs can be used both indoors and outdoors. They’re designed to be used in various climates. It all depends on your preferences and the layout of your home.

There are a few things to consider when deciding where to place your hot tub.

One factor to consider is convenience. If you plan to use your hot tub frequently, you may want to place it in a location that is easy to access, such as near the main entry point of your home. This can be especially important in the winter months, when you may not want to walk far in the cold to get to your hot tub.

Another factor to consider is service access. It’s important to make sure that your hot tub can be easily serviced by technicians, which may be easier to do if it is placed in an accessible location.

You should also consider hazards such as water and snow runoff from the roofline, as well as privacy. Placing your hot tub in a location that is protected from the elements and offers privacy can help ensure that you have a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

Ultimately, the best location for your hot tub will depend on your specific needs and preferences, as well as the layout of your home. Consider the pros and cons of both indoor and outdoor placement, and take into account factors such as convenience, service access, and privacy when deciding where to place your hot tub.
