A hot tub combines water, people and 240 volts, so the wiring rules are strict for good reason. Hot tub electrical installation in San Bernardino includes a dedicated circuit sized to the spa, a GFCI-protected disconnect within sight of the tub, proper conduit and conductors, and bonding of nearby metal.

Hot tub electrical installation questions from San Bernardino customers

How far must the disconnect be from the hot tub?

The emergency disconnect must be within sight of the spa and at least five feet from the water's edge, so it can be reached quickly but not from inside the tub.

Does a hot tub need a permit in San Bernardino?

Yes. The electrical circuit requires a permit and inspection. We handle both.

Can I use an existing outlet for my hot tub?

Only small plug-and-play models run on 120 volts, and they still need a dedicated GFCI-protected circuit. Full-size spas need a hardwired 240V circuit.
