Hot Tubs & Pools

If you are adding or upgrading a hot tub, pool, or spa, you will need some electrical work done. The wiring and connection hookups on these are very specific. As an example, some hot tubs require a 240V, 50-amp 4-wire electrical hookup which must use AWG #6 copper wire. Not using the proper setup can be a safety hazard.

When it comes to electrical hookups for pools, spas, and hot tubs, you must enlist the help of a qualified electrician. Electricity and water do not mix, so you should not take this kind of task on as a do-it-yourself project. Safety is a priority with the PowerTech residential electrical team. Not hiring an electrician could be a dangerous mix.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reported 14 deaths from electrocutions in pools between 2003 and 2014, and these were deaths resulting from faulty or worn swimming pool lighting, broken underwater lighting, vacuums, and ungrounded power washers and other electrical issues that could have been avoided. There are many electrical hazards that can be found around pools.

After you have your hot tub, spa, or pool installed and wired, you are not done. You should regularly maintain these items. Regular electrical maintenance and inspections from a qualified electrician will improve safety, helping you to avoid electrical shocks and electrocutions because of old or damaged wiring and electrical equipment that has failed.
