Canadian laws require the services of certified electricians when it comes to the installation of hot tubs. Thus, you basically have no choice but to follow the law and make your electrical installation safe for everyone.

Hot Tubs, Pools, Saunas Electrical Installations

In accordance with Canadian law, hot tub installations must be performed by licensed electricians. As a result, your only real option is to comply with the law and ensure that everyone may use your electrical installation safely. We are pleased to inform that we employ electricians with knowledge of wiring for hot tubs.   This guarantees that it will continue to operate safely and efficiently. As a large item, a hot tub requires additional load from your service. Therefore, verify that the load can be supported by your existing electrical panel. The proper load requirement for your new equipment should only be determined by an experienced electrician. Therefore, cutting corners is clearly a bad idea.

When you allow our professional electricians to install your hot tubs properly, you will reduce the risk. Proper installation of your hot tub will not only ensure user safety, but will also reduce other damages. For example, improper installation and power loads can damage your equipment.

Should You DIY?

Installing a hot tub could be a do-it-yourself project. However, because it involves electricity, it is safer to hire an experienced electrician to do it for you. Nobody wants to be electrocuted while relaxing in the hot tub. As a result, only a licenced electrician should handle your hot tub wiring for the best results.

  • Electrical Codes

    A qualified electrician has the training and skills necessary to adhere to the intricate requirements of the local STANDATA and the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), including all of their amendments and updates. This gives him the opportunity to obtain the required authorization from the Electrical Inspection Authority and wire your hot tub in a way that will guarantee your safety and meet the criteria for passing an electrical inspection.

  • GFCI Protection

    A GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) protection must be installed on any electrical outlet that is located outside or adjacent to water. A GFCI circuit quickly disconnects your hot tub from the electrical supply in the event of any electrical fault. A fatal electrocution may occur if a GFCI is not installed or installed improperly. (PS: Another typical home electrical mistake is neglecting to test the GFCI on a regular basis.)

  • Insurance

    Your insurance company will need to see the certificate demonstrating that your hot tub installation passed inspection if the unexpected occurs and an electrical issue with your hot tub results in an accident. Your chances of receiving a settlement are extremely slim if you omitted this crucial procedure. Your insurer may request an electrical check of your house, even in less catastrophic circumstances (perhaps as part of an update or because you're switching carriers). When this occurs, you want to make certain that all of your home's wiring, including that for your hot tub, is completely safe and professionally done.

  • Trained Professionals

    Let's be direct and restate the question. "Do I need an electrician to wire my hot tub?" should be changed. Rather, ponder: "Which would I rather trust with my safety (and even my very life): a qualified, licensed professional electrician or a novice who is simply following YouTube instructions?"
