Hot tubs on Vancouver Island: delivery and service across the Island
Good Hot Tubs delivers the One Model, a hot tub for Vancouver Island, across the whole Island from Victoria to Port Hardy. You buy online, and a local expert brings the tub to your yard, sets it up and services it. Orders open January 1, 2027.
Where on Vancouver Island does Good Hot Tubs deliver?
Delivery covers the whole Island, from Victoria to Port Hardy. That includes every Island town in between, among them Duncan and Nanaimo.
The delivery area is the Island, and the One Model is the tub. Orders start on Vancouver Island, and a local expert on the Island does the delivery, the set-up and the servicing.
How does the One Model handle delivery and service on the Island?
You buy the One Model online. A local expert on the Island delivers it, sets it up and services it. Local experts work across the Island, so help is close by.
Standard delivery to your pad is in the price of $19,995 CAD. The tub is wheeled to your pad on a dolly and a cart. If something goes wrong while the tub is under warranty, contact Good Hot Tubs, and Good Hot Tubs arranges the repair. Each year you book a check-up with your local expert.
Can you sit in a hot tub on Vancouver Island before you buy?
Yes. A One Model is set up and running on Vancouver Island for test soaks. You ask for one when you send your result from the ten quick questions on the site, and the team arranges a time with you.
Good Hot Tubs will announce pop-up locations on social media. A test soak lets you try the deep and shallow seats and turn the jets yourself, which a photograph cannot do.
What happens before the tub arrives, and what does the yard work cost?
Before you order, the team looks at your yard with you on a video call. The call shows whether the tub can go in on a dolly and a cart or whether your yard needs a crane. A crane is needed when the tub has to go over a fence, up or down a slope the dolly cannot handle, onto a deck or over the house. You hire the crane company and pay it directly, and Good Hot Tubs helps you find one and plans the delivery day with the company you choose.
The yard needs room for the tub, 96 inches side to side and 100 inches front to back. The way in must be at least 42 inches wide, with 90 inches clear overhead. The tub sits on a pad at least 86 by 86 inches, with 18 inches clear on every side.
The tub needs a dedicated 240V, 50-amp circuit, installed by a licensed electrician. On Vancouver Island the electrical work usually costs $1,500 to $2,000, and a pad usually costs $500 to $1,000. The tub, the electrical work and a pad together usually come to $21,995 to $22,995. Steps and handrails cost extra, and so does a crane if your yard needs one.
Do Island decks and electrical work need a permit or an engineer?
The City of Nanaimo's deck guide requires a structural engineer for a deck that supports a hot tub. For any other Island town, check with your own municipality or regional district before you plan a deck.
For the electrical work, Technical Safety BC says a permit is required before regulated electrical work starts, unless an exemption applies. It adds that licensed contractors typically obtain the permits for the work they are hired to do. A licensed electrician installs the One Model's circuit, so ask that person about the permit.
