When it comes to a home spa the lines can get a little blurry. Is it a hot tub, a heated pool, or a custom build with jets, heating, and the works? Well, it’s actually all of these at varying degrees of complexity, and a huge amount of enjoyment regardless of which option you choose. While it is an exciting prospect to have a spa coming to your backyard you will want to prepare to make sure you can get the most out of your home spa experience.

What Should I Know About a Home Spa Setup

Before you are ready to relax in your new home spa or hot tub you will need to make sure that the electrical wiring has been installed properly and safely. It takes a speciality set up to make sure your home spa is safe to use: From electrical grounding and wiring, to specialty subpanels, circuits, and breaker it can be a daunting process to take on your own. We will help you think about some things that you may want to consider before you try and set it up yourself, and why it may be in your best interest to trust a job like this to your local electrician.

A Licensed Electrician Will Make Sure Your Spa is set up Correctly From Day 1

Most home spas are going to require a speciality hookup. In order to make sure this is done correctly you should consider contacting your local licensed electrician to come out and perform an evaluation on your home electrical system. By ensuring your home electrical is up to code and able to handle the hookup you won’t face any risks when installing. If necessary, an electrician can install a new breaker for the new connection. It is highly recommended that a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) Breaker be installed in sight and easily accessible when connecting a home spa. These are usually installed where electrical circuits may accidentally come in contact with water and shut off the circuit when it senses a person receiving an electrical shock. A knowledgeable electrician can significantly reduce any safety hazards you could experience with a home spa so you can relax even more knowing that is taken care of.
