RL Spa installing an efficient air-source heat pump on a hot tub

Hot Tub Heat Pump Installation for Swim Spas & Pools

Hot tub heat pump installation cuts running costs by up to 75%. Also called an air-source heat pump (ASHP), it moves heat from outdoor air into your water — efficient, quiet and built to last with a professional RL Spa install.

Hot tub heat pump installation by RL Spa helps homeowners and holiday parks heat faster and spend less — with tidy pipework, quiet inverter units and neat commissioning.

Why Choose a Hot Tub Heat Pump Installation?

A hot tub heat pump installation (also called an air-source heat pump, ASHP) uses ambient air to deliver up to 4–5× the heat per kWh vs a standard electric element — dramatically cutting running costs.

  • Save up to 75% on energy vs. traditional electric heaters.
  • Quiet operation with a compact outdoor unit beside your spa.
  • All-season performance with smart defrost and stable temperature.
  • Fast warm-up after weekly drain/refill.
  • Lower environmental impact thanks to higher COP.
  • Professional installation by RL Spa — neat plumbing, electrics and commissioning.

How Heat Pumps Work — and Why They Save You Money

A hot tub heat pump installation doesn’t “make” heat — it moves it from the outside air into your water. Also called an air-source heat pump (ASHP), a quality unit can deliver 4–5× more heat per kWh than a standard electric element — so you pay far less to enjoy your spa.

1) Extract

Ambient air passes over a refrigerant coil and releases heat into the system — even in cool UK weather.

2) Compress

The compressor raises the refrigerant temperature, transferring heat efficiently into your spa water.

3) Circulate

Your spa pump circulates water through a titanium heat-exchanger for efficient, corrosion-resistant heating.

Typical Savings
  • Up to 75% lower running costs compared to an electric element.
  • Faster warm-up and more stable temperature control.
  • Lower CO₂ footprint thanks to higher COP (efficiency).

Actual savings depend on ambient temperature, target water temp, usage hours, and model sizing.

Compatibility
  • Ideal for hot tubs, swim spas, and pools.
  • Works with most control systems via a bypass kit and tidy plumbing integration.
  • Quiet outdoor placement; neat pipework and electricals by RL Spa.
What about winter performance?

Cold-climate models include defrost control and maintain output in low temperatures. We’ll size and specify the unit for your usage to keep performance reliable year-round.

Hot Tub Heat Pump Installation for Holiday Parks, Lodges & Caravan Sites

For resorts running multiple hot tubs, our hot tub heat pump installation — also called an air-source heat pump (ASHP) system — keeps turnaround times tight after weekly water changes while cutting energy use dramatically.

  • Rapid heat-up times — after each weekly drain and refill, reach temperature before the next guests arrive.
  • Huge cost savings — for parks with 10, 20+ tubs, switching to heat pumps can cut bills by up to 75%.
  • Consistent performance — inverter units maintain target temperature quietly, even in cooler months.
  • Lower maintenance load — less strain on electric elements means longer equipment life.
  • Professional multi-unit installation — RL Spa designs, supplies and commissions complete systems.

Whether you manage a handful of private lodges or a large-scale park, we plan and install reliable, guest-ready systems that reduce running costs and carbon footprint.

FAQ – Hot Tub Heat Pump Installation

How much does a hot tub heat pump installation cost?
Domestic installs start from £999 supplied & fitted (model/sizing dependent). After a short survey we’ll confirm a fixed quote before work begins.
Can you add a heat pump to my existing hot tub or swim spa?
Yes. We install a bypass kit and integrate controls so the pump heats efficiently without affecting normal filtration or jets.
How much can I save on running costs?
Typically up to 75% lower running costs versus an electric element thanks to 4–5× higher efficiency (COP). Actual savings vary with weather, target temperature and usage.
Are heat pumps noisy?
Modern inverter units are very quiet outdoors. We position the unit and isolate pipework to minimise any sound near seating areas.
Do air-source (ASHP) heat pumps work in winter?
Yes. Cold-climate models include intelligent defrost and maintain output in low temperatures. We size/specify for UK winters.
Do you service and repair heat pumps?
We offer maintenance and diagnostics for pumps and plumbing/electrical integrations, including flow, sensor and control issues.
Which areas do you cover?
We cover Sutton Coldfield, the West Midlands and nearby counties. Not sure if you’re in range? Get in touch.
