FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What kind of electrical service does a pool require?

Every pool requires a safe and reliable electrical system, including a dedicated circuit for the pool pump, appropriate wiring for pool lights, heaters, and other features, as well as bonding and grounding to prevent electrical shock.

Regular inspections can help detect potential problems early. We recommend a professional inspection at least once a year.

Yes, installing a pool heater will require additional electrical services. Our team can ensure your heater is safely and correctly connected to your pool's electrical system.

Just like pools, hot tubs and spas also require proper wiring, a dedicated circuit, and grounding and bonding for safety. Specific requirements can vary based on the model of your hot tub or spa.
