Master Spas’ wiring sheet, for example, calls for a 50 A, 120/240 V four-wire supply, a GFCI, and a disconnect within reach of the spa but at least five feet from it. A 120 V plug-and-play tub can skip the new circuit.
Electricity is the ongoing cost; the running cost calculator works it out for your climate.
How we work it out
Tub prices are Fixr's (updated January 2025): inflatables $500 to $3,000, portable tubs $1,000 to $15,000, a four-person acrylic tub $4,000 to $8,500 installed, and swim spa combos $15,000 to $40,000. Fixr's national average for an installed hot tub is $6,900.
Installation costs are from Jacuzzi's 2026 guide: $600 to $2,200 or more for the electrical, $600 to $2,000 for a reinforced slab or $200 to $600 for a spa pad, $200 to $500 for delivery, $800 to $1,500 more if it needs a crane, and $100 to $500 for permits. Jacuzzi sells hot tubs, so treat its numbers as one maker's view, and get local quotes.
