Creating a spa sanctuary at home is an exciting investment in both wellness and lifestyle. But before you walk into an Arctic Home showroom, it helps to know what questions to ask, what budget to plan for, and what decisions you’ll face along the way.

Know Your Wellness Goals

Your spa choice depends on how you plan to use it.

• Relaxation & recovery: A hot tub or sauna may be your best fit
• Family & entertaining: Larger spa pools or swim spas provide space for everyone
• Fitness & training: Swim spas combine exercise with hydrotherapy
• Contrast therapy enthusiasts: Pairing a sauna with a cold plunge maximizes health benefits

Having clarity on why you want an at-home spa helps our team guide you to the right model.

Prepare Before Your Showroom Visit

When you come into Arctic Home, it’s helpful to bring:

• Space measurements of your deck, yard, or indoor location
• Photos of the install site (so we can assess access, foundation, and delivery challenges)
• Electrical information (know your home’s panel size or bring past utility bills)
• Lifestyle notes — how often you expect to use the spa, and how many people

This allows our team to narrow down models that truly fit your lifestyle and location.

Understand the Costs Involved

At-home spas are an investment, and costs vary depending on size, brand, and features. As technology improves, the monthly maintenance costs vary by product, usage, and utility set up. Here’s what you can expect:

Ongoing Costs

• Electricity: $40–$100/month for hot tubs; swim spas can run higher
• Water care: $20–$40/month for chemicals, filters, and balancing products
• Maintenance: Routine service, winterization, etc. should be factored in

At Arctic Home, we’re upfront about costs and can provide an estimate based on your chosen model and location.
