Should You Buy Now or Wait? The ROI of Summer Installations

Should You Buy Now or Wait? The ROI of Summer Installations

Summer is the season of transformation — long days, warm nights, and the irresistible urge to improve our homes and lifestyles. If you’ve been considering adding a pool, hot tub, swim spa, or patio feature to your home, you’ve likely wondered: should I invest now or wait until later?

At first glance, it might seem tempting to postpone a big backyard upgrade. Maybe you're hoping prices will drop, or you're waiting for a future promotion. But here’s the truth: when it comes to backyard wellness and entertainment, summer installations often provide the greatest return on investment — not just financially, but also in quality of life.

Let’s explore why buying now could be one of the smartest decisions you make this season.

1. Immediate Use Means Maximum Enjoyment

The biggest benefit of buying in summer? You can use your new installation right away. Whether it’s a swim spa for morning workouts, a hot tub for evening relaxation, or a new patio set for weekend BBQs, you’ll start reaping the rewards immediately.

Every week of warm weather is an opportunity to enjoy your investment — and when you install now, you're not wasting the season waiting. Postponing until fall or winter may mean months of waiting before full enjoyment.

Imagine: It’s a warm Saturday. You’re floating in your new hot tub, drink in hand, while the kids play in the swim spa next to you. That scene isn’t a distant dream — with summer installation, it’s your weekend reality.

In fact, many Krevco customers tell us that installing during summer helped them reimagine their outdoor spaces in ways they hadn't even considered — creating spots for reading, yoga, or even hosting birthday parties right in their backyard.

1.1 Create a Vacation at Home

With travel costs rising and international trips becoming less predictable, more families are turning their backyards into their go-to summer destinations. A hot tub, swim spa, or new outdoor seating area can create a staycation-worthy retreat that saves money over time.

By investing now, you avoid the stress of last-minute bookings and instead enjoy a relaxing, luxurious environment just steps away. Hosting friends? You’ll have a built-in entertainment zone. Need alone time? Slip into your spa with a book and a beverage, anytime.

2. Promotional Pricing and Financing Options Are Often Better in Summer

Contrary to what some believe, summer often comes with seasonal sales and bundles on hot tubs, pools, swim spas, and patio furniture. Retailers know summer is their peak season, and they plan special incentives to convert interest into action.

At Krevco, for example, summer installations often come with exclusive discounts, free delivery promotions, accessory bundles, or interest-free financing options. Delaying your purchase might mean missing out on the best prices of the year.

More importantly, summer is when inventory is highest and choices are most plentiful. If you're dreaming of a specific model or premium finish, buying early in the season gives you the best chance of getting exactly what you want — before popular options sell out.

2.1 Bundle Your Upgrades and Save More

Summer is also the time when it's easiest to combine multiple upgrades into a single project. Many Krevco customers choose to bundle hot tub installations with new decking, outdoor lighting, or privacy screens — and doing it all together often reduces installation time and costs. The more coordinated your upgrades, the more seamless and affordable your transformation becomes.

3. Add Immediate Value to Your Property

One of the most overlooked aspects of outdoor installations is their impact on property value. A well-designed swim spa, above-ground pool, or outdoor entertainment zone can boost your home’s appeal and resale price — especially when installed during the active real estate season.

Buyers shopping in spring and summer are often looking for move-in-ready homes with finished outdoor spaces. By installing now, you not only get to enjoy your investment, but you also increase your home’s marketability.

This is particularly true in neighborhoods where outdoor living is popular. A professionally installed spa or pool can help your property stand out and sell faster — and potentially for a higher price.

Plus, a home with completed amenities is more attractive than one that still requires work. Even simple upgrades like landscaping around your new hot tub or adding a privacy fence can position your home as the top pick in a competitive market.

4. Enjoy Lower Energy Costs During Peak Sunlight Hours

Today’s energy-efficient spa and pool models are designed to take advantage of longer daylight hours and solar heating options during the summer. Smart features like thermal covers, programmable heaters, and LED lights reduce consumption and help you enjoy the benefits without the spike in your utility bill.

By installing in summer, you immediately benefit from peak sun conditions, which naturally reduce heating demands and maximize your equipment’s efficiency. That means lower long-term costs and a smaller carbon footprint.

Want to go green? Krevco offers energy-saving options like solar covers and insulated spas that retain heat longer — perfect for both your wallet and the environment.

And don’t forget — the sooner you install, the sooner you start saving. Delaying an energy-efficient upgrade by just a few months could mean hundreds of dollars in lost savings.

5. Faster Scheduling and Availability

Summer is a busy season for installations, but it’s also a season where more crews are available and on-site work progresses faster. Delaying your purchase to fall or winter often means battling the elements, frozen ground, or limited crew availability.

By acting now, you can lock in a convenient installation window and take advantage of optimal conditions for outdoor work. Whether it’s setting up your new swim spa or delivering custom patio furniture, things happen faster and smoother in the summer.

And with Krevco’s experienced installation team, you’ll enjoy white-glove delivery, seamless setup, and full post-installation support — so everything is perfect from day one.

Customers who install early in summer often report that they were able to fine-tune their spa settings, try different accessories, and settle into routines that enhanced the use of their equipment throughout the year.

6. Spread Out Your Investment Across Seasons

Purchasing in summer allows you to break in your equipment and develop seasonal routines that carry into the fall and winter. Whether it’s starting a cold plunge habit, doing morning laps in your swim spa, or scheduling weekly spa nights — those routines begin now and build consistency.

By next year, your setup will already be part of your lifestyle — and you’ll be glad you didn’t wait another season to get started.

Summer installation also lets you gradually invest in outdoor upgrades. You can add furniture, privacy screens, lighting, or even a gazebo over time, allowing for a more budget-friendly expansion.

A phased approach also means you’re spreading out costs rather than making one large purchase. You can start with your hot tub or spa and add a BBQ area or pergola later — tailoring your dream space as you go.

7. ROI Beyond Dollars: Invest in Wellness

The financial return on investment is just one side of the equation. What about your physical health, mental well-being, and family connection?

Swim spas offer therapeutic relief from joint pain. Hot tubs promote deep relaxation and better sleep. Pools encourage movement and screen-free play for kids. Patios become gathering spots for conversation, laughter, and celebration.

The ROI of summer installations goes beyond dollars — it’s about enhancing your lifestyle, day by day, season by season.

These experiences aren’t just personal — they’re relational. Creating a backyard space that draws people together fosters connection. And in today’s fast-paced, tech-heavy world, that kind of connection is priceless.

Tip: Krevco’s experts can help you assess your lifestyle goals — from fitness to relaxation — and recommend the best solution to match your needs. You’ll walk away with more than a product. You’ll have a plan.

7.1 Improved Sleep, Recovery, and Routine

Many of our customers report improved sleep and faster recovery after incorporating spa use into their nighttime routine. The combination of warm water, massage jets, and quiet time before bed encourages better rest and muscle regeneration. If you've been struggling to unwind, installing your spa now can lead to powerful health improvements before fall even arrives.

8. Customization Is Easiest in Summer

Another benefit to summer installations is the ease of customization. Warmer, drier weather means that custom decking, electrical upgrades, water features, or landscaping are more easily executed without delays.

From coordinating with electricians to designing an outdoor kitchen around your patio spa, summer installations give you time and flexibility. You’re not racing against snow, rain, or short days — you can take the time to create a truly personalized backyard experience.

And Krevco can help coordinate additional services and products that enhance your setup — think cabanas, privacy fences, LED-lit water features, or fully integrated audio systems.

9. Customer Success Stories and Real-Life Benefits

Still not sure if now is the right time? Hear it directly from other homeowners who’ve taken the plunge. Krevco customers across Manitoba have shared stories of how their installations have changed their lives — from boosting family time to creating year-round fitness routines.

For example, the Thompson family installed a swim spa in early June and by August had already seen their teen athletes using it for recovery and cross-training. "We used to spend hours driving to pools and gyms. Now, our backyard does it all. It’s not just convenient — it’s a lifestyle shift," says Megan Thompson.

Another customer, Paul R., had his patio revamped with a hot tub, gazebo, and fire table setup. “I had no idea how much I’d use it until it was there. Every weekend, we have friends over, and I finally feel like I’m using my outdoor space to the fullest. My only regret? Not doing it sooner.”

If you’re curious how others have customized their installations, the Krevco team can walk you through local case studies and share before-and-after transformations. These real-world examples prove that the ROI on summer installations goes far beyond dollars — it’s about how you live.
