Dedicated Circuit

GFCI Protection
Hot tubs must be protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce risk of shock.
Disconnect Placement
A disconnect switch must be installed within sight of the hot tub for safety and maintenance.
Panel Capacity
Your electrical panel must be evaluated to ensure it can safely handle the added load.
Professional Installation
Improper installation can lead to damage, hazards, and code violations. Always hire a licensed electrician.
