Hot Tub Wiring Regulations

In some localities, local permits are needed before a spa or hot tub electrical installation. Local regulations require a licensed hot tub electrician to make the connection to your home’s electrical system. Whatever your local requirements happen to be, for safety’s sake, remember the old saying; water and electricity don’t mix. It’s vital to have a qualified electrician take care of your pool and hot tub wiring. Not only for hot tub electrical installation but also for inspection and repair. 

The Canadian Electrical Code is regularly upgraded for everyone’s protection. AJ’s Electricians will ensure your pool and hot tub electrical installation is safe and compliant with the Canadian Electrical Code. 

Requirements for Hot Tub Wiring

In ground pools require bonding all the way around the pool and equipment, ladders, diving boards, etc. must be bonded. As well to meet Code requirements, spas , hot tubs and pools are required to have a disconnect switch. This allows the user to turn the power on or off to the spa, hot tub, or pool. The disconnect must be safely out of range from the water’s edge. This ensures that a person can’t have their foot in the water while touching the switch, resulting in electrocution.

Needed an electrician to help me replace a thermostat and give me a quote on installing pot lights in two rooms, as the light switches are not connected to anything. The service was great and he discovered be could fix one of my rooms to have the light switch connected to an existing outlet which was included in the hour of work I paid for. Good service, arrived on time, provided advice and was friendly and prompt. Would recommend.

AJs has done electrical work for us a few times — installing light fixtures and sorting out wiring problems. Today Jason changed the puck lights in our kitchen from halogen to LED. Skilled and efficient. Always professional and cost-conscious.

I was very impressed with the work AJ Electrical did for me. I really like their estimation services and hour the estimates include the estimated number of man-hours for your job. The work itself was highly efficient and professional. Their staff are also a pleasure to deal with (Darrian, Josh, and Kyle). I would highly recommend AJ Electrical and I will use them again in the future for future electrical jobs in my house.

Dealing with AJs was a great experience.  From the moment of calling them about needing someone to install a 240V socket and talking to Darian.  Darian was most helpful and explained everything and even managed to get our service done sooner then the 3 weeks it was originally scheduled for.  Kyle the electrician was on time, professional and did the work quickly. Would recommend AJs to anyone needing Electrical work. Their price was reasonable, they were prompt and did the work well.
