Common Questions About Pool and Hot Tub Wiring

  • Do I need a permit to wire a hot tub?

    In most areas, yes, a permit is required for hot tub wiring to ensure compliance with safety regulations. A Shore Thing Electric will assist you in pulling the necessary permits.


  • Can I run a pool pump off a standard outlet?

    Usually, no. Pool pumps require dedicated circuits with the appropriate voltage and GFCI protection to operate safely and efficiently. We will install a dedicated, GFCI-protected circuit for your pool pump.


  • What’s a subpanel and why would I need one?

    A subpanel is an additional electrical panel that branches off your main service panel. It provides easier access to breakers for your outdoor circuits and allows for safe expansion of your outdoor power without overloading your main panel.


  • Will you hide the conduit and wiring?

    Yes, we strive to route conduit and wiring cleanly and discreetly, using weather-rated materials to ensure both aesthetics and durability.
