Electrical Service
Prior to installing any major appliance such as a hot tub, first determine if the electric service in your home will handle the additional capacity. Since most homes built in the previous 30 to 40 years have at least 100 amp service, and 150-
There is a common misconception that the total amperage of all circuit breakers installed in a panel must not exceed the service panel's indicated amp rating. This is false; capacity is determined by load calculations, not the size or number of breakers.
The hot tub circuit breaker in the service panel must be sized according to the spa's load requirement. The load rating of the disconnect box should be at least equal to, or greater than, this limiting breaker in the service panel. Nisat Electric can easily determine if your service panel will accommodate a new 240v circuit breaker.
Hot Tub Electrical Requirements
- The National Electrical Code (NEC) specifies installation of an approved manual disconnect switch adjacent to the hot tub. This disconnect must be located at least 5' away from the tub wall but within 50' and within sight of the tub.
- All portable hot tubs and spas installed in Allen, Texas require ground fault Interrupter (GFI) protection. Most often this protection is installed at the disconnect.
- Most hot tub installations require 240V power.

- Know the location of all electrical switches and circuit breakers; be prepared to turn them off in the event of an emergency.

- Test GFCI's monthly to assure continued protection.
- Do not use any device connected to an electrical cord in or around the hot tub.
- NEVER use your hot tub during a thunderstorm!
