Do You Need a Permit To Install a Hot Tub?

Yes. In most cases, you’ll need building and electrical permits to install a hot tub in Calgary. Permitting requirements ensure user safety and the prolonged safe operation of your outdoor retreat. Our electricians can take care of pulling all the permits necessary to complete your project.

Why Do You Need a Licensed Electrical Contractor for Hot Tub Installation?

The City of Calgary requires you to hire a licensed electrical contractor to complete your hot tub installation when your tub will be a hard-wired, permanent fixture.

There are many safety requirements involved in a successful outdoor hot tub installation, including:

  • Your hot tub must be at least 1.2 meters from your side and rear property lines.
  • Your hot tub’s location must be free of overhead wiring, except in cases where it’ll be covered by an approved structure.
  • Hot tubs installed on decks and patios must receive an engineer’s stamp of approval.
  • Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are required for a code-compliant installation.
  • Wiring and wiring gauge must be appropriate for your hot tub power demands.
  • Your tub’s disconnect switch must be within visible range of your hot tub and be easily assessable in an emergency.

When you hire one of our installation specialists, you can be sure your electrical wiring will be equipped to power your new hot tub. Talk to our team today to learn more about the steps we take to make sure all our work meets the city’s strict wiring requirements and safety standards.

What Size Breaker Do You Need for Your Hot Tub?

To power your hot tub, you’ll need to integrate a dedicated breaker into your property’s electrical system. In terms of size, it typically takes a 40 to 50-amp breaker and a 240-volt power connection to bring your tub up to your desired temperature, especially in colder weather, and have all your jets running at optimal performance. Exact power requirements may vary depending on your tub’s make and model.

Once you tell us more about your goals, we’ll fill you in on all the electrical details necessary to complete your installation to the highest standards.

Where Do You Put a Hot Tub Disconnect?

Your hot tub disconnect is a safety device that allows you to quickly shut off your tub’s power during emergencies or maintenance service. It should be at least five feet away to prevent the risk of electrical hazards, but it must be in sight of hot tub users and easy to use when needed.

Hot Tub Electrical Box Installation

A properly installed electrical box is essential for a safe, efficient, and code-compliant hot tub setup. In addition to a GFCI breaker, dedicated wiring, and a separate circuit, an electrical box is required to control power distribution. It must be weatherproof to guard against moisture, rain, and outdoor elements to ensure durability.

Our team installs this box in an accessible location, strategically positioning it so it stays clear of direct water exposure while allowing for easy maintenance and inspection. With precise grounding and full compliance with local electrical codes, we prioritize your safety and your hot tub’s long-term performance.

Hot Tub Electrical System Maintenance

Many things need to be taken care of when you own a hot tub, including:

  • Keeping the water pH balanced
  • Ensuring that all electrical connections are safe and protected
  • Emptying and refilling your tub regularly
  • Sanitizing and cleaning the tub itself

While one may be able to learn how to carry out most of these tasks themselves, hot tub electrical wiring should be handled by certified experts. That’s why we encourage you to call one of our local experts to handle all electrical installations and repairs.
