• <div><p>Follow these <a href="https://www.esfi.org/pool-and-spa-safety/">general safety tips for spas and hot tubs</a>:</p><ul><li><p>Keep your exterior electrical receptacles covered and dry, especially around your hot tub and pool during periods of use.</p></li><li><p>Make sure you have a GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) properly installed to ensure no one gets accidentally shocked or injured by electrocution. </p></li><li><p>Don’t use the hot tub or your pool during a thunderstorm. </p></li><li><p>Before using the hot tub, have a certified electrician thoroughly inspect your hot tub and its wiring to make sure you’re in full compliance with all applicable local building codes. </p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Does a hot tub use a lot of electricity?

• <div><p>Unfortunately, a hot tub does use a relatively large amount of electricity. In fact, much of the money you spend on your hot tub will go toward electricity costs to keep the water heated. A typical hot tub will use anywhere from 1,500 to 6,000 watts of electricity per month.</p></div>

Q: What temp should I leave my hot tub on when not in use?

• <div><p>The general rule of thumb is to lower it by about five degrees when you know you&rsquo;re not using your hot tub for an extended period of time. With only a slight decrease in temperature, it will be easier to increase it to a desirable level when you&rsquo;re ready to get back in the water instead of starting from scratch.</p></div>

Q: How long does a hot tub last?

• <div><p>Depending on the material and level of upkeep, hot tubs can last anywhere from five to 20 years. Having a professional service your hot tub once a year and addressing issues immediately will help prolong the life of your hot tub. </p></div>

They came to install promptly, were courteous and knowledgeable. Explained everything in detail, and offered information for trouble shooting and a 1-800 number. Very polite and helpful. It was a great crew, run by Ely, here in Ohio.

I called Cousino Electric the afternoon of May 29th to see if they were available any time soon to wire a pool heater and salt cell system since the pool company that installed them couldn't do the wiring. I was told that they might be able to come out the next day, but more likely it would be...

Our project was completed just as promised. The yard was kept clean during build. The crew was great to my children as they stood sometimes over their shoulders and asked tons of questions. Craig the owner was here everyday of the build. It could not have went better!
