How much does a hot tub really cost in BC, all in?
For the One Model, the tub is $19,995 CAD, with the hard cover and delivery to your pad included. Add electrical work and a pad, and the usual Vancouver Island total is $21,995 to $22,995.
How does the One Model handle cost?
The One Model is $19,995 CAD. That price covers the tub, its water-care system, the app (Gecko in.touch 3), the Smartop Upright 3.0 hard cover and standard delivery to your pad. The cover is part of the tub, so you do not shop for one separately.
The price, $19,995 CAD, sits beside a short list of what is included, and the list takes a minute to read. Because the cover and delivery are in the price, the numbers you still need are the electrical quote and the pad quote.

What does a hot tub cost on top of the tub itself?
Two jobs sit outside the tub price. The tub needs its own dedicated 240V, 50-amp circuit, installed by a licensed electrician. It also needs a pad to sit on before it arrives.
On Vancouver Island, Good Hot Tubs' average for the electrical work is $1,500 to $2,000. A pad averages $500 to $1,000. The pad must be at least 86 by 86 inches, with 18 inches clear on every side. These are averages for the Island, and your own quotes will depend on your house and your yard.
What is the all-in total on Vancouver Island?
Add the tub, the electrical work and the pad. That is $19,995 CAD plus $1,500 to $2,000 plus $500 to $1,000, which comes to $21,995 to $22,995.
Use that range to set a budget. Your electrician quotes the wiring for your house, and whoever builds your pad quotes the pad. Write each quote next to its average, and you will see where your yard differs. If you already have a base, the video call before you order is where the team checks whether it works.
What can add to the bill after that?
Steps and handrails cost extra. They are not in the $19,995 CAD, so add them if you want them. Decide before you order whether you want them, so the extra line is in your plan from the start.
A crane is the other possible cost. Standard delivery wheels the tub to your pad on a dolly and a cart. If the tub has to go over a fence, up or down a slope the dolly cannot handle, onto a deck or over the house, it needs a crane. You hire the crane company and pay it directly. Good Hot Tubs helps you find one and plans the delivery day with the company you choose. The video call shows whether your yard needs a crane, so you know before you order.
Which costs are still to come?
Good Hot Tubs has not released a membership price, a salt cell price or the contents of a start-up kit yet. The salt cell is the part that makes the chlorine from salt, and it is replaced every 6 to 18 months.
Those items sit outside the all-in total above, so keep room for them in your plan. Running the One Model typically costs $15 to $25 a month, depending on use, and the running cost has its own entry in the Learning Hub.
How do you get a number for your own yard?
Start with the ten-question check, "Is The One Hot Tub right for me?" You see your result before you give any contact details. Then the team looks at your yard with you on a video call, and that call settles the pad, the way in and whether a crane is needed.
Have the spot in mind and the route from the gate ready. The way in needs a gate opening of at least 42 inches and 90 inches clear overhead, and the tub needs room of 96 inches side to side and 100 inches front to back. Bring the measurements you have, and the team works through the rest with you.
Orders open January 1, 2027, starting on Vancouver Island. Until then you can ask for a test soak on the Island, so you see the tub in person before you decide.
