Most hot tub dealers offer installation services. According to ComfyLiving, about 40% of customers that bought a hot tub invested about $5,000 to $7,000, which included installation costs. What should you expect with hot tub installation? Here's how hot tub installations typically play out.

Choosing the Hot Tub

Hot tub dealers have a wide range of hot tubs to choose from. The first part of your installation actually starts at the dealer. Here's where you'll decide what size hot tub you want and receive guidance from the experts about what you should keep in mind when you're making your decision.

The dealer will schedule your appointment and provide you with any information you need about your role in the installation process. You may need to have a foundation ready for the hot tub to be installed.

Laying the Foundation

Some dealers will offer foundation services. The foundation is what your hot tub will sit on. It can be a cement pad, a pre-fab pad, gravel, or wood. A foundation is necessary to ensure your hot tub will be level and above the bare ground.

Once the foundation is installed, the installation of your hot tub can move forward. The installer will start by placing the hot tub on the foundation and ensuring it is level.

Wiring the Hot Tub

The installation will require your hot tub to be wired. This step can be as simple as using an available outdoor outlet or as complex as having to run a new electrical line to the area. The difficulty of this step depends on your home's electrical system. A hot tub installer has to be part electrician and part plumber. The next step is usually the final step.

Hooking up the Water Supply

The final step in the process is typically to connect your hot tub to a water supply. This is another relatively simple step if there's a water supply nearby. If not, then the step could take a little longer. Once the water supply is connected, the technician will clean the tub and fill it with water.

A final check is done to ensure everything is working as it should. The technician will spend time with you explaining how to operate the hot tub.
