Pool & Spa Wiring

Pool and spa electrical must meet strict safety codes due to the water proximity. We wire pool pumps, heaters, hot tubs, and underwater lighting to code.

Pool & Spa Wiring — professional electrical work in Toronto & the GTA

Scope of work

  • Pool pump and filter motor wiring
  • Hot tub and spa 240V hookups
  • Underwater LED lighting
  • Pool heater electrical connections
  • GFCI protection (code required)
  • Equipotential bonding grid

Pool electrical is one of the most heavily regulated areas of the Ontario Electrical Safety Code. All pool equipment must be on GFCI-protected circuits, and an equipotential bonding grid must connect all metal components within 1.5 metres of the pool. We install proper disconnects within sight of the equipment, run appropriately rated underground cable, and ensure all bonding is complete. Hot tub hookups typically require a dedicated 40A or 50A, 240V GFCI-protected circuit.

Pool & Spa Wiring FAQs

How much does hot tub electrical installation cost?

A typical hot tub hookup — 50A 240V GFCI-protected circuit, outdoor-rated disconnect within sight, and burial-rated cable — runs $1,000–$2,000 in the GTA depending on distance from the panel and trenching. The ESA permit and inspection are included in our quotes.

What is bonding and why does my pool need it?

Bonding connects all metal within 1.5 metres of the pool — ladder, pump, rails, rebar — into one grid so no voltage difference can exist between them. It's mandatory under the Ontario Electrical Safety Code and the single most important safety system in pool electrical.

Do pool pumps need their own circuit?

Yes. Pool pumps require a dedicated GFCI-protected circuit sized to the motor, with a weatherproof disconnect within sight of the equipment. Heaters, salt systems, and lighting each have their own requirements — we wire complete pool equipment pads to code.
