How I Cut My Spa Heating Bill by Over 72% — Without Changing How I Use My Spa*
By James Hartley, spa owner since 2019
I almost sold my spa last winter. Not because I didn't love it. But the electricity bills had become genuinely painful. Every month I'd open the bill and feel that familiar knot in my stomach.
A friend mentioned something called SpaPilot. I was skeptical. I'd heard promises like this before. But three months later, my heating costs had dropped by over 72%*. Here's exactly what happened.
SpaPilot optimizes your heating schedule based on live electricity prices
Why most spa owners unknowingly pay far more than they need to
Most spa owners have no control over when their spa heats. It simply maintains the set temperature whenever heat is needed — including during expensive peak hours. I had no visibility and no way to change it. I was just paying whatever the energy company decided to charge me.
SpaPilot changes that completely.
What SpaPilot actually does
SpaPilot is a small device that connects to your spa's control system. Unlike a standard spa controller, SpaPilot knows tomorrow's electricity prices in advance and intelligently plans your heating schedule accordingly. It continuously monitors live electricity prices and automatically schedules heating for the lowest-cost periods whenever possible — while ensuring your spa is always ready when you need it.
In practice, most of the heating is automatically shifted to low-price hours, often during the night when electricity is cheapest. By the time you want to use the spa, it's already at the perfect temperature — without you having to think about it.
With SpaPilot you can:
✓ Optimize heating based on live electricity prices
✓ Control your spa from anywhere in the world
✓ Schedule exactly when your spa should be ready
✓ Monitor energy consumption and costs in real time
✓ Track your historical savings over time
✓ Receive software updates with new features automatically
Full control from anywhere — start heating on your way home from work
"I set the Planner once, told it when I want the spa ready — and it handles everything from there. I haven't touched it since."
Installation took 30 minutes
I was expecting a complicated setup. It wasn't. I had SpaPilot connected and running in about 30 minutes. No electrician is required for most compatible spas — just a screwdriver and the step-by-step guide in the box. The app connected immediately. Within an hour I could see live electricity prices, my spa's current temperature, and exactly when SpaPilot was planning to heat next.
Setup in around 30 minutes — no special tools required

I use the spa just as often as I did before. Nothing changed about how I enjoy it. The only thing that changed is what I pay for it.

Is it worth it?
If you own a spa and you're on a dynamic or spot-price electricity tariff, this is one of the smartest upgrades you can make. SpaPilot costs £495 and typically pays for itself in around 15 months*. I only wish I'd bought it sooner.
* Savings and payback vary depending on your electricity tariff, regional electricity prices, spa insulation, usage patterns and climate. The figures shown are based on one customer's real-world experience.
