Getting A Hot Tub For Your Home
When you decide to purchase a hot tub for your home, you'll have lots of choices, and your decisions will affect how happy you are with your purchase, your energy bills, and your home's value. In most cases, you won't regret purchasing a hot tub, but carefully considering all the small details will ensure everything suits your expectations.
Indoor or Outdoor?
Most people put their hot tubs outdoors, but some decide they want theirs inside their homes due to the extra privacy it gives them. However, an indoor hot tub requires enough space, a way to get it inside—not possible with most doorways, and a way to combat the extra humidity. Most of the time, your best bet is to put your new hot tub outdoors.
What Type of Hot Tub?
When you visit a hot tub retailer to decide which type of hot tub you want, you'll be surprised to find so much variety. You'll have to decide on the material, the number of jets, which brand you prefer, etc. Some people get a small inflatable hot tub, while others choose a large customizable tub with extra features and high-tech options.
Size
How big do you want your new hot tub to be? You can purchase a hot tub that will fit many people, making it a great hangout spot when you host guests. If you don't anticipate many people using the hot tub simultaneously, you could opt for a smaller option.
Comfort
It's wise to sit in a hot tub at the store before purchasing it to ensure it's comfortable. Hot tubs today are built with comfort in mind because many people use them for therapeutic reasons. They have built-in seats, adjustable elements for different-sized people, etc.
Energy Efficiency
One great thing about purchasing a new hot tub is you can expect it to be energy efficient. Not all will be equally energy efficient, so it's wise to look at the numbers while you shop for your tub.
Will You Build Around It?
One great innovative way to ensure that your new hot tub will increase your home's value as much as possible is to build around it to create a unique space rather than just placing it in an empty spot in your yard. You can create a new hangout space by building a platform, deck, etc., making the hot tub look more attractive to potential buyers. Some people even build a covered outdoor structure or a new enclosed room for their hot tub.
