Spa & Sauna Hook-ups

Installing a spa requires a dedicated electrical circuit to safely handle the high power demands of pumps, heaters, and control systems, which typically operate on 240 volts. Most spas draw between 30 and 60 amps, making it essential to run properly sized conductors from a subpanel or main service panel to a spa disconnect, typically located within sight of the unit. By installing a high-efficiency spa on its own circuit, homeowners can reduce strain on their existing electrical system and prevent voltage drops that may shorten equipment lifespan or increase utility costs. Properly configured hookups with energy-efficient components can also contribute to long-term electrical savings, especially in climates where spa use is frequent year-round. 

Saunas, whether traditional or infrared, also require their own dedicated circuits due to the continuous high wattage needed for heating elements, which often run on 240 volts and draw between 20 and 50 amps depending on the model and size. A properly installed circuit ensures consistent heating performance and avoids overloading shared household circuits. Integrating programmable controls and modern heating technology can significantly improve energy efficiency, allowing for faster heat-up times and reduced operational costs. With a correctly installed dedicated circuit, clients can enjoy the full performance of their sauna while optimizing power usage and maintaining safety.
