Common Questions

Fireplace Installation FAQs

How many people can your hot tubs seat?



Our Ambiance Thermea models offer a wide range of seating options to suit any household or lifestyle, from compact 3-person spas ideal for couples or smaller patios to spacious 7-person units perfect for families and entertaining guests. During your consultation, we’ll help you weigh seating capacity against your available space and how you plan to use your spa, ensuring you choose a model that fits comfortably both in your backyard and your daily routine.

Can I use my hot tub year-round in Wisconsin?


Yes, absolutely. Ambiance Thermea spas are engineered with all-season insulation and energy-efficient operation specifically designed to perform beautifully in cold-weather climates like Wisconsin’s. That means you can enjoy a warm, relaxing soak even in the depths of winter, all while keeping energy costs manageable. The high-quality insulation retains heat efficiently, so your spa stays ready whenever you are, no matter the season.

Do you handle spa/hot tub installation, or just sales?


We’re a true full-service provider, which means we take care of everything from start to finish. When you purchase an Ambiance Thermea spa from us, we sell, deliver, install, and service it — so you never have to coordinate with multiple contractors or wonder who to call for support. Having one dependable partner for the entire life of your spa gives you peace of mind and ensures every detail is handled by people who know your equipment inside and out.

What kind of maintenance does a hot tub require?


Keeping your spa running efficiently involves a few routine tasks, including regular water testing to maintain proper chemical balance, periodic filter cleaning to ensure clean and clear water, and occasional professional servicing to keep the internal components in top condition. While these tasks are simple, they’re essential to protecting your investment and extending the life of your spa. If you’d rather not handle it yourself, we offer ongoing service plans to take care of everything for you, so you can spend more time enjoying your hot tub and less time maintaining it.

What electrical requirements are needed for hot tub installation?


Electrical requirements vary depending on the specific Ambiance Thermea model you choose, as larger spas with more jets and features typically require more power. Before installation, our team will carefully evaluate your home’s existing electrical setup to determine what’s needed and coordinate any necessary upgrades with a licensed electrician. This ensures your spa is powered safely and reliably from day one, with no surprises along the way.

How long does hot tub installation take?


In most cases, once your site is properly prepared and your utilities are ready, installation can be completed in a single day. Our experienced technicians handle the delivery, placement, connection, filling, and system testing efficiently and carefully, so your spa is up and running quickly. The overall timeline can vary slightly depending on factors like site accessibility and any electrical work required, but we always aim to get you soaking and relaxing as soon as possible.

What are the health benefits of a hot tub? 


Soaking in a hot tub offers a range of wellness benefits that go well beyond simple relaxation. The combination of warm water and targeted hydrotherapy jets works together to ease muscle tension, soothe aching joints, and support healthy circulation throughout the body. Many people find that regular use helps relieve everyday stress, promotes deeper relaxation, and aids in recovery after exercise or long days on their feet.

The gentle buoyancy of the water also reduces pressure on joints and muscles, creating a soothing environment that can improve sleep quality and contribute to an overall sense of well-being. Whether you’re unwinding at the end of the day or recovering after a workout, a hot tub provides a convenient and enjoyable way to care for both body and mind right at home.
