ELECTRICAL SERVICE
A new hot tub needs more than a place to sit, it needs a dedicated, GFCI-protected circuit installed exactly to code. Hot tubs combine water and serious electrical load, so the wiring has to be done right for your safety. AC Electric installs hot tub and spa wiring across the Austin area, from the dedicated circuit and disconnect to the GFCI protection that keeps your soak safe. Family-owned since 1984, we make sure your spa is powered correctly and ready to enjoy.
WHAT IT INVOLVES
NOT A DIY A JOB
Hot tubs draw a lot of power and sit in and around water, which is the most dangerous combination in electrical work. Code requires specific GFCI protection, a disconnect within sight of the tub, and careful grounding and bonding for exactly this reason. A wiring mistake here is not just a tripped breaker, it is a genuine shock hazard. This is a job for a licensed electrician, every time.
EXAMPLE
Most spas need a dedicated 240-volt circuit and a GFCI disconnect mounted at least five feet from the tub but within sight of it, details that are easy to get wrong without experience.
PANEL CHECK
A spa is a big load, and not every panel has room. We will run a load calculation and, if needed, recommend a sub-panel or panel upgrade so your hot tub runs reliably without overloading your home. We will tell you what you need before any work begins.

QUESTIONS
Most hot tubs need a dedicated 240-volt, GFCI-protected circuit with a disconnect within sight of the tub. We size it to your specific spa.
Some small plug-and-play spas use a 120-volt outlet, but most hot tubs require a dedicated 240-volt circuit installed by an electrician.
Yes, in most areas, and we handle the permit and inspection as part of the job.
Maybe. We run a load calculation, and if your panel is full or undersized, we will recommend a sub-panel or upgrade.
