Hot tub wiring in Alcalde: what's involved

Most full-size hot tubs need a dedicated 240 volt circuit of 40 to 60 amps with GFCI protection. A disconnect must be within sight of the tub and at least five feet from the water. We run the conduit and wire, set the spa panel and connect to the tub's control pack.

Pool, sauna and swim spa electrical

Pool pumps, heaters, lights, saunas and swim spas each have their own requirements for circuits, GFCI protection and bonding. We wire new equipment and correct older installations that were never bonded properly.

Is your panel ready for a hot tub?

A hot tub is a large load. Before installing we check that your service has the capacity. If it doesn't, we'll go through the options, from load management to a panel upgrade.

Before your hot tub arrives in Alcalde, we'll confirm

• The amperage and voltage on the spa's nameplate
• Where the tub and the disconnect will sit
• The route from the panel to the pad
• Spare capacity on your electrical service
• Clearance from overhead lines and nearby outlets
