A pool or spa is a great addition to any home or commercial property, but improper wiring can lead to electrical hazards, equipment failure, or costly repairs. At Swanson’s Electric, we specialize in safe, code-compliant electrical installations and repairs for pools, spas, and hot tubs, ensuring your system runs efficiently and safely.
Water and electricity are a dangerous combination. That’s why proper grounding, bonding, and GFCI protection are essential for any pool or spa electrical system.
We provide complete installation, upgrades, troubleshooting, and repairs for residential and commercial pools, spas, and hot tubs.
🔧 Tripped Breakers & Power Failures – Your pool or spa keeps shutting off? It may be due to overloaded circuits or GFCI malfunctions.
🔧 Flickering Pool Lights or Malfunctioning LEDs – Bad wiring, water infiltration, or outdated fixtures can cause lighting issues.
🔧 Pump & Heater Electrical Failures – Voltage drops or faulty connections can damage pumps and heaters.
🔧 Electrical Shocks in the Pool – Poor bonding or grounding can create stray currents in the water—a serious safety hazard.
🔧 Automation System Malfunctions – If your pool control panel isn’t responding, we can diagnose and fix wiring issues.
Yes! Pool pumps, hot tubs, and heaters are required by the NEC, to have their own dedicated circuit to prevent overloading and ensure safety.
GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) prevents electrical shock by shutting off power if it detects fault to ground or imbalance. It’s required by code for all pool and spa equipment.
Costs depend on factors like distance from the main panel, required permits, and equipment type.
Pool wiring: $1,500 – $5,000+
Hot tub wiring: $800 – $2,500+
Lighting upgrades: $300 – $2,000+
No—pool and spa wiring should always be done by a licensed electrician. Improper installation can lead to electrical shocks, fires, equipment damage and death.
A licensed electrician, like us can perform a bonding inspection to ensure all metal components are properly connected, preventing stray electrical currents in the water. However, if your pool was built in Collier County & Lee County a bonding inspection was completed at the time of construction. If you have concerns or need verification, a professional inspection is always recommended.
No matter how urgent an electrical repair may seem, it’s never safe to handle it yourself. Attempting electrical work without proper training is extremely dangerous. Even if no one gets hurt during the attempt, an improper repair could leave behind serious safety hazards for you, your home, and your family.
According to the National Fire Protection Association, faulty electrical wiring is the leading cause of house fires in the United States. To ensure your home’s safety, always trust a licensed professional for any electrical repairs or installations.
