Living in the south has many benefits, and one of the greatest is our extended warm season. Starting in early April and lasting through late October, our temperatures are warm enough to swim, that’s why it is a great idea to install an above or in-ground pool! Installing a pool can be costly, so you want to make sure every detail is done correctly. One of the most critical details of pool construction is the electrical work. With so many electrical components and the proximity to water, it’s imperative to hire a licensed electrical contractor like Stelco Electric.

Swimming pools and hot tubs have many different electrical components like sub-panels, pool pumps, heaters, salt generators, and pool lighting. Additionally, swimming pools, hot tubs, and areas surrounding them need to be bonded. Bonding is a form of grounding that uses #8 copper wire to “bond” together with all the electrical components, grounding them and drawing away any stray voltage, ensuring safety. Since water and electricity can create an extremely dangerous or even deadly environment, hiring a highly qualified team of licensed electricians is of utmost importance. Hiring the right professional will leave you feeling confident knowing that all systems are wired correctly, pass inspection, and are safe to use for years to come.
