It is also a very specific question because it only addresses the electrical component to the cost, but we must not forget about the cost of: the actual hot tub, which is based on brand name, size, number of jets, person capacity; the need to add a concrete slab or block if an existing foundation or deck is insufficient to support the hot tub’s weight. Remember the weight of a hot tub can reach to the high thousands of pounds with the weight of occupants and water filled!
How close can a hot tub be to the house?
Although there are no major restrictions limiting you to how far or close to place your hot tub, you should be like Goldilocks when deciding on the hot tub’s distance from your home - think not too close, not too far, JUST right. Indoor jacuzzis are usually found in bathrooms or indoor spas, but outdoor hot tubs are ideally placed in the backyard for privacy and convenience.
As for the distance from the house, placing the hot tub closer to the home makes sense - bathers can walk a shorter distance to the tub (which is more comfortable in the cold Canadian winters or in the night), the cabling to the electrical panel would be a smaller length, and the garden hose or water outlet would be in closer proximity. But there’s such a thing as being TOO close to the house. If the hot tub is nudged right against the wall of the house, there may not be enough space physically for bathers to maneuver around, there may not be enough privacy for bathers as people indoors will probably have a good view outside, and there could be issues with excess water steaming up the windows.
