Enjoy your spa or pool with complete peace of mind. A botched installation can cost you dearly in repairs or, worse, put your safety at risk. Invest in a professional electrical connection that ensures your equipment performs well and eliminates any risks associated with non-compliance.

The essential steps for a safe spa connection

Connecting a spa or pool heater requires a high-intensity circuit that puts a strain on your electrical panel. We start by checking the capacity of your electrical service and, if necessary, we manage the required electrical service change (200A). We then take care of the cable run, often in trenches or via protective conduits, from the panel to the equipment location.

Safety in wet environments depends on the right devices. We install a mandatory and easily accessible ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). This device instantly cuts off the power in the event of an electrical leak, protecting users from shock. We ensure that junction boxes and systems comply with the minimum required distances.

Spas, above-ground pools, and in-ground pools: Our solutions

Whether your spa is 120V or 240V, we take care of the entire connection process. We also install the dedicated circuits required for heat pumps and additional heating systems for your pool, ensuring optimal operation and seamless integration with your main electrical system.

Beyond the basic connection, we install and connect underwater lighting and pool or spa perimeter lighting, using low-voltage products that comply with current safety standards. Our work is always meticulous, including the aesthetic finishing of conduits and final grounding checks.

FAQs for pool and spa connection

Yes. Grounding (or equipotential bonding) is of paramount importance for aquatic installations. It is highly regulated by the Electrical Code to equalize the electrical potential around water. Our expertise ensures that the grounding of your equipment and all surrounding metal parts is perfect, preventing any risk of electric shock.

The heating, filtration, and pumps of a spa or pool consume a lot of energy. In most cases, installing a spa or pool heater requires an change of electrical panel to 200A if your current panel is 100A or less, or if it is already being used at full capacity. It is essential to check this before making any purchase.

The GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) is mandatory because it is designed to detect the smallest current leak (before it becomes dangerous) and instantly cut off the power supply. It is your most important line of defense against electrocution in an environment where water is present.

Yes, our service includes managing all stages of the external connection. We ensure cable protection via compliant underground conduits. If a trench is required for the cable to pass through, we coordinate this work or carry it out ourselves to guarantee the depth and safety required by the standard.
