Including the pad

Hot tubs and saunas, done properly.

GFCI protected circuits, a disconnect where code requires it, and the pad poured if you need one. Water and electricity are worth being fussy about.

How we work

This is the one nobody should improvise.

A hot tub is a large load sitting in a wet environment outdoors through an Alberta winter. The code requirements around GFCI protection, disconnect placement and conductor sizing exist because the consequences of getting it wrong are serious rather than inconvenient. It is not a job to hand to whoever is cheapest.

We handle the whole thing, including the pad. That means the feed sized correctly for the unit, a disconnect placed within sight and at the required distance from the water, GFCI protection at the right point, and a run that will survive being buried and frozen for the next twenty years. Saunas follow the same logic with their own heat and clearance considerations.

The pad as wellWe can handle the pad so it is one contractor, not two.

He even crawled under my mobile home to fix some electrical issues to make sure my home was up to code. I would totally recommend this company. He went above and beyond for me. Very kind and professional.

Everything was done to code and done well, and he was super patient with the on going nature of the renovations we were doing. His communication was great.

Before you call

Hot tub questions.

Yes. Hot tub pads are part of what we handle, which means one contractor rather than coordinating a concrete crew against an electrician. It also means the conduit and feed get placed before the pour rather than worked around afterward.

Yes. Code requires a disconnect within sight of the tub and at a set minimum distance from the water, so power can be cut without reaching over or into it. Placement is not optional and it is one of the things an inspector checks.

It depends entirely on the unit. Most residential tubs land on a 50 or 60 amp circuit, but the manufacturer specification is what governs. Send us the model or the data plate and we will size the feed and the protection to match it.

Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for two years. Hardware usually carries its own manufacturer warranty on the part itself, but the labour to remove and replace a faulty component is charged separately. We tell you which applies before the work goes ahead.
