Pool, Spa and Hot Tub Electrical in Longwood, FL
Before a hot tub goes in behind a Sweetwater Oaks or Wekiva home, we look at the panel. Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels are common there, and we would rather not hang a 50 amp spa breaker on one.
That range is a typical hot tub or swim spa hookup: a dedicated 240-volt circuit and a GFCI disconnect. Short runs from a panel with room are the low end; long or underground runs and panels without space are the top. Pool equipment circuit repairs are diagnosed at our service rate and priced before we fix them.
Four things that are only true in Longwood.
If you could swap the city name out of this page and it would still be accurate, it should not exist. Here is what actually changes here.
FPE and Zinsco panels
If your panel is a Federal Pacific or Zinsco, we tell you at the estimate whether it should be replaced before adding a large spa circuit. You get both prices, the tub alone and the tub with the panel, so you can decide.
Septic fields and wells
Many Longwood homes are on septic and wells. An underground run to the tub has to route around the drain field and well lines, so we walk the yard with you before choosing the trench path.
Pool equipment out back
Bigger lots often put the pool equipment far from the house. If a pump or heater lost power, we trace the circuit at our service rate and price the repair before doing it.
City or county permit
Permits go to the City of Longwood Building Division or Seminole County outside the limits. Duke Energy serves most of Longwood. Our office files and meets the inspector.
Real numbers before you call.
Same ranges we publish everywhere, because the work does not cost more just because of the zip code. You get an exact number at the free estimate.
How a hot tub hookup goes
Grant and Jason cover Seminole County. You will have a name and a text before anyone is at your door.
Real reviews, word for word.
"Grant wired our new kitchen project. We have used him two other times and plan on using him with our next project."
"…In Phaze sent 3 people for the job, which they completed in 1 day, even vacuuming up afterwards."
"After getting the run around from other electricians I came across In Phase. Wish I found them first."
"Unlike some of their competitors, they don't try to up-sell products that aren't strictly necessary."
Straight answers.
What size circuit does a hot tub need?
Most 240-volt hot tubs need a 40, 50 or 60 amp circuit; swim spas can need more. The tub's spec sheet decides it, and we size the wire and breaker to match.
Does a hot tub need a disconnect?
Yes. Code requires a disconnect within sight of the tub and at least 5 feet away from the water's edge, and the circuit must be GFCI protected. A GFCI disconnect handles both.
Can I plug in a 120-volt plug-and-play spa?
If it is rated for it, it needs its own GFCI-protected outlet on a dedicated circuit, not a shared patio outlet or an extension cord. Many people later convert to 240 volts so it heats faster.
What is pool bonding?
Connecting the pool steel, rails, pump, ladders and nearby metal together so they sit at the same voltage. It is what keeps the water from shocking you. Missing or broken bonding shows up on inspections and should be fixed.
I felt a tingle in the pool. What should I do?
Get everyone out, turn off the pool equipment breakers, and call. Do not swim until it is tested.
Do you install pool pumps or heaters?
We do the electrical side: circuits, disconnects, timers and bonding. The pool company sets the equipment itself.
