Many high street retailers are offering bargains on hot tubs as we head into the summer with a heatwave beginning today (June 17) - but a warning has been issued over energy costs which can be as much as £60 a month.
The head of data at energy saving app Loop says people should be aware of the costs of running a hot tub. Some of the least energy efficient models, which are often the cheapest, could add £300 per month to electricity bills.
The cost of running a hot tub is 60% higher than summer 2020 when many people bought their hot tubs to enjoy during lockdown, reports Wales Online. Steve Buckley, head of data science at Loop, said: “Many of us will be enjoying the warm weather this weekend, and for those lucky enough to own one, relaxing in a hot tub is welcome treat on a sunny day. But with the high cost of living at the moment, people should be aware that the cost of running one of these could be a lot more than they were expecting.
