2. Be wary of long wait times
Choose a retailer that has hot tubs in stock and are ready to be delivered. If a company hasn't sufficient stock, businesses will inflate prices due to the ever-rising shipping costs. Photo: Palm Spas
3. Budget for running costs
Paying for a hot tub isn't the only cost you will face. Make sure you budget for electricity costs, the set-up and monthly bills. Whether you are having a plug and play or a high-powered tub, generally you will need an electrician to fit the socket for you. Ask what insulation the hot tub has; a well-insulated tub will retain heat and reduce your monthly electricity bill significantly. Photo: Palm Spas
