Hot Tub Installation Words of Caution!

Be leery of spa and hot tub companies whose salesman offer to have their 'in house electrician' hookup your hot tub at a discounted rate. This is a sales tactic often used by hot tub vendors when trying to get you to buy a new hot tub, because they know the cost to properly connect the electrical service to your hot tub safely to NEC code standards, can often be high. Investing in a proper electrical installation can sometimes discourage customers from completing a hot tub purchase.

Often times, these 'in house electricians' aren't licensed and they are also under-qualified to do a proper hot tub installation for you at your residence. Most hot tub companies do not have a licensed electrical administrator, or even an electrical license, which means they cannot pull an electrical permit to wire your hot tub. Without a permit or an inspection, you as the consumers have no way of knowing whether the 'in house electrician' did your electrical wiring to code or not. To ensure your safety, the professionals at Emerald State Electric urge you to always have a qualified licensed, bonded, and insured electrician handle the wiring of your hot tub.
