Three Important Things To Remember When You Install A Hottub.

The best time of the year for a hot tub is quickly approaching when the air starts to cool. In fact, the hot bubbling water can be very relaxing just as snow drifts around you. That relaxing feeling won’t become a reality however if you don’t install the hot tub properly.
The three things you need to remember:

  1. Make sure your panel can handle the draw. Older homes may not have a large enough service.
  2. Have a properly installed GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) It’s always necessary when working with water that your service is protected.
  3. The cable and 240V systems are properly installed. This is especially true if you are running the cable underground to get to your hot tub.

It is important to have a professional electrician installed your hot tub. Not only will they ensure the proper permits are in place, but they know what’s necessary for your safety.
