More and more places are taking a stricter look at pollution and air quality. In some cities, this has led to the introduction of a ban on heating. This ban means that when the heating indicator is at red or orange, no wood burning is allowed.
This means that wood-fired hot tubs are still allowed, but the firing ban may affect their use. Do you want to be able to use your hot tub at all times? Then there are several options, such as using an electric heater. We'll tell you the benefits of electric firing in this blog.
1. Environmental friendliness
With sustainability in mind, electric heating is a clean option. Unlike wood-fired systems, an electric hot tub produces no smoke or particulate matter. Extra important in densely populated areas, where there is increasing attention to deteriorating air quality and where heating bans are becoming more common.
2. Efficiency and control
Electric heating systems heat water quickly and easily maintain a constant temperature. You can also precisely control the temperature with just the push of a button. There are even options to set the temperature remotely via an app. So whether you're sitting at home on the couch or still on the road, you can always get your hot tub to the desired temperature. It almost doesn't get any easier!
3. Convenience and maintenance
Electric systems require little maintenance. No ash residue to clean up, no worries about keeping firewood dry and tidy, and no soot to clean up. Although firing a hot tub with a wood-burning stove brings an authentic experience, heating up with an electric stove takes less effort on your part.
4. Safety
Safety is another important factor. With an electric hot tub, the heating system is built in, which provides additional safety. You also don't have to consider a heater pipe, which can be an advantage depending on the location of your hot tub. For example, this can be practical if you place your hot tub under a canopy .
5. Future-proofing
With increasing environmental regulations and the shift to renewable energy sources, choosing an electric hot tub is an investment in the future. More municipalities and states are expected to take measures such as heating bans. With an electric heater, you can continue to enjoy a wonderfully warm hot tub.
