When you think of hot tubs, energy efficiency probably isn\u2019t the first thing that comes to mind. But you might be surprised by just how efficient a hot tub can be, especially if you choose one with the right environmentally-friendly features and then dedicate some time to do your part with regular maintenance that helps keep it running smoothly in the years to come.<\/p>\n
To begin the journey to energy-efficient hot tubs, let\u2019s look at what the experts have to say. Since 2006, the California Energy Commission has partnered with the hot tub industry to test a variety of hot tub models and report on how energy efficient they really are. No matter where you are in the country, the California MAEDBS Database can be quite helpful.<\/p>\n
When choosing a hot tub, you can look at the same factors California uses for their standards of energy efficiency. There are a few key points to consider.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve covered some issues that come along with particular models of hot tubs. But there are some points you can control, such as where you place the tub and how often you use it. Let\u2019s take a look at what you can do to improve your hot tub\u2019s energy efficiency.<\/p>\n
Finally, think about the maintenance issues that might rarely pop up \u2013 but when they do, you need to take immediate action.<\/p>\n
One of the biggest issues that could affect energy efficiency is some sort of leak in the tub. This could mean water seeps into the air pockets in the foam insulation. Once those air pockets are filled with water, the insulating properties diminish. Get leaks fixed immediately, and then replace any foam that got waterlogged.<\/p>\n
If latches break on the cover, replace them as soon as possible. Remember, a tight-fitting cover will help avoid evaporation and keep the heat in. If a strong wind can lift a corner, that\u2019s enough for the hot tub to lose an incredible amount of energy in a short period of time. Keep those latches firmly attached and ensure they are working well.<\/p>\n
Finally, don\u2019t forget that assistance from a professional contractor can help keep your investment from costing too much money in the long run. Modernize can help connect you with contractors who know how to install your tub in the best possible area, assist you with creating a maintenance schedule, and perform any repairs necessary to keep your hot tub looking and working great.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
