Local Minneapolis Electricians

As tempting as it might be, never try to wire your own hot tub. It’s incredibly dangerous and can lead to a tripped circuit, or short-circuiting. After all, wiring is risky, and hot tubs add water to the equation. So, don’t attempt to do your own. Instead, rely on a professional electrician. We promise it’ll save you an awful lot of headaches and maybe even a trip to the hospital or morgue!

Additionally, there are incredibly specific local codes and guidelines that you must follow whenever wiring a hot tub. You have to hard-wire the hot tub into a ground fault circuit interrupter, or a 60-amp dedicated circuit. Furthermore, you must have an electrical inspector inspect every aspect of your installation before powering on your hot tub or filling it with water.

Rather than deal with all that headache and potential danger yourself, why not hire us? Remember, when it comes to fast, reliable, and affordable hot tub wiring in Minneapolis you can always count on us!

Electrical Wiring Repairs for Home Hot Tubs & Saunas

As with anything else, your hot tub’s wiring will eventually need repairs. Dean’s Home Services Minneapolis Electrical repair service will diagnose and repair electrical issues. Some of the things you may notice include:

  • Jets stop working or work intermittently
  • The jets work, but the hot tub never heats up
  • The lighting system is on the fritz, causing flickering lights or lights that never turn off
  • Your hot tub circuit breaker trips constantly

Hot Tub Wiring Mistakes

When homeowners try their hand wiring and electrical hot tub, they inevitably run into a handful of issues. These are some of the most DIY wiring mistakes.

Tripping Breakers

When homeowners attempt to wire their own tub, they often run into issues when they try to turn it on. If the circuit breaker trips whenever you turn on your hot tub, there may be moisture in the wiring or the wiring may not have been installed correctly. A professional electrician will ensure that your new hot tub is as safe as possible.

NO GFCI Protection

A licensed electrician can ensure that your tub has a functioning ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) and is appropriately grounded. Without these safeguards, people using the hot tub could experience shocks or fatal electrocution.

Bonding and Waterproofing Mistakes

Outdoor electrical components should be adequately weatherproofed, and this is particularly true of systems that come into regular contact with water. Each wire and metal component needs to be properly insulated, waterproofed, and bonded to the rest of the system.

Wiring Hot Tubs in Minneapolis St. Paul FAQ

How much does it cost to wire a hot tub?

There is no standard answer because the cost can vary based on your home’s electrical system. In older Twin Cities homes, electricians encounter issues with tripping breakers or a lack of GFCI outlets. The wiring can cost several hundred dollars in parts, plus conduit and fittings.

How much power does a hot tub need?

Most spas operate on a dedicated circuit of 50 or 60 amps at 230 volts. To connect a hot tub to this circuit, an electrician must integrate your home’s main circuit breaker with a 50 or 60-amp breaker in the external disconnect box. The GFCI will correspond with the house breaker so that a 60A GFCI is paired with a 60A house breaker. Whether you need 50A or 60A depends on the number and size of pumps in your hot tub.

Customer Satisfaction is our #1 Priority What Dean’s Customers are saying
I recently bought a new house and quite a few things needed upgrading / replacing. Deans has done fantastic work on all these things. Scheduling is fast and easy. They are able to come out quickly to assess it and give an estimate. And they can quickly schedule the service. All the technicians have been fantastic. Friendly, and quick and efficient. I am so glad I am a member and I will recommend Deans to anyone. Mark B.
Matthew came for a general plumbing inspection. He was friendly and polite and even a little bit early for his appointment. That is a wonderful thing. He checked all the toilets and sinks, the water heater and water softener. All the while explaining what he was doing. He had some ideas on a few repairs but wasn't an alarmist about it. Things that just had to be done, sooner than later, but not immediately. The Dean's club membership is definitely worth it. Susan M.
Eric B was awesome and informative. Today he came and gave us a rundown of our new homes air ventilation and Furnace/AC systems so we are all ready for winter and beyond. We had Dean's install a new furnace, ac and water heater at our previous home and they did such a wonderful job and so easy to work with we will only use them from now on. Thanks again for a wonderful experience. Jayme K.
I had Dean's come out a couple times for different services. Once to install venting for a bath fan and once for service for my furnace. There were no surprises in pricing and service was quick. Sam was the tech both times and he did a great job for both jobs. For the furnace, he diagnosed the issue within minutes of starting the work and got it up and running quickly. They had all the parts in the truck already. As far as the appointment, I requested service online, had a call back within 15 min and the tech was in my driveway an hour later. I would highly recommend Dean's. Dan P.
Of the several electricians I contacted, Dean's offered by far the quickest dispatch time, which is great because my thermostat broke and wouldn't start my A/C at all. Given that temperatures are supposed to reach 98 degrees tomorrow, time was of the essence. Thankfully, Dean's had someone out within an hour. I worked with Seth, who was professional, helpful and knowledgeable. He ran a 'C' wire to our new smart thermostat and got it installed in about an hour at a reasonable price. I will definitely recommend Dean's to anyone who needs an electrician. Michael Y.
