What Oregon homes use
EIA's 2020 residential survey found 691 kWh a year across 34 sampled homes that run one, 1.43× the national 484 kWh. The middle half spans 367 kWh to 969 kWh, so a hot tub pump varies by 602 kWh between one household and another.
The circulation pump and jets, separately from the water heater. That average covers homes with a hot tub — 10% of homes here.
That makes a hot tub pump about 6% of the electricity an Oregon home uses. The remaining 10,442 kWh is what a hot tub pump is billed on top of, and on a tiered or time-of-use plan that is what sets the rate it meets.
