Hot tub and spa wiring
Hot tub and spa wiring
Dedicated circuit, GFCI disconnect, underground or surface feeder, and final hookup. Call us before the tub shows up so the power is ready on delivery day.
What the job includes
- Checking panel capacity against your tub’s nameplate rating
- A dedicated 240 volt circuit, commonly 50 or 60 amps
- A GFCI disconnect placed where code requires it, in sight of the tub
- The feeder from your panel, in the wall, on the surface or underground
- The final hookup at the tub and a test of the GFCI
Planning ahead
Tell us the make and model of the tub and where it will sit, and pick a spot clear of overhead lines. A photo of your panel and a rough sketch of the route usually lets us give you an estimate quickly. If you are pouring a pad or building a deck, call before that work starts, because it may change the best route for the wire.
Other high-demand equipment
The same goes for other large dedicated circuits: pool equipment, saunas, electric ranges, dryers, freezers and air conditioners moved to a new spot. If it needs its own circuit, we can run it.
“No extra gimmicky stuff thrown at us and arrived when said they would as well as a great price for the issue we had fixed.”
Common questions
Can a hot tub plug into a regular outlet?
Some small plug-and-play tubs run on 120 volts. Most full-size tubs need a hardwired 240 volt circuit with a GFCI disconnect. Check the tub’s manual or send us the model.
Do I need to upgrade my panel?
Not always. We compare your existing load with what the tub adds. If your panel is full, a subpanel or service upgrade may be the answer.
Can you wire a tub that’s already in place?
Yes. We can work with an existing tub or replace an older hookup, and we will look at the existing wiring and disconnect while we are there.
