Hot Tub Cost by State
A 4-person 240V hot tub kept hot year-round with a well-insulated cover. Heater cycles on/off; effective draw averages ~25% of peak (higher in winter, lower in summer). Poorly-insulated tubs or those left uncovered can use 2-3x more electricity — a good thermal cover typically pays for itself in one winter of running. Running one costs about $602/year at the U.S. average residential rate (18.34¢/kWh) — but the range across states is significant: from $431/year in Nevada (13.11¢/kWh) to $1732/year in Hawaii (52.72¢/kWh).Full ranking — Hot Tub running cost in all 51 states
