-
Will a walk-in tub increase my electric bill?
Modest increases are expected. At Florida's $0.158/kWh rate, daily hydrotherapy use adds roughly $4-$8/month for the tub's jets and heater. Water heating costs of $1.50-$2.50 per fill with an electric water heater represent the larger ongoing expense.

Do I need a backup power plan for my walk-in tub?
In St. Johns County, yes. The county's hurricane risk score of 93.70 and high lightning risk (92.21) mean power outages occur regularly. Battery backup drain systems or quick-drain features prevent being stranded in the tub during outages.
-
Does Medicare cover walk-in tubs?
Original Medicare does not cover walk-in tubs. Some Medicare Advantage plans include bathroom safety benefits that may partially cover costs. VA programs (SAH and SHA grants) offer coverage for eligible veterans with service-connected disabilities.
