Hot tub and spa wiring
Most full-size hot tubs call for a 240 volt, 50 or 60 amp GFCI-protected circuit with a disconnect within sight of the tub and at least five feet from the water. We check panel capacity, run conduit, and bond nearby metal as required.
- Dedicated 240V spa circuits
- GFCI spa disconnect panels
- 120V plug-in spa outlets
- Underground conduit and trenching
- Bonding and grounding
- Panel capacity check
- Swim spa and sauna circuits
- Permit and inspection
Before your hot tub arrives
- Confirm the voltage and amperage on the spec sheet
- Pick a location with a clear path to the panel
- Keep the tub away from overhead power lines
- Check that your panel has two open spaces
- Schedule the electrician before delivery day

Local knowledge for Caballo, Sierra County
In southern New Mexico's desert, Caballo summers push air conditioning, coolers, and well pumps hard for months at a time, and monsoon storms bring lightning and short outages. Heat is tough on breakers, and the sun is tough on anything installed outside.
Electric service in Sierra County is typically provided by Sierra Electric Cooperative or a municipal utility. For work on the service entrance or meter, we arrange the disconnect and reconnect with them so you do not have to.
Our hot tub wiring covers all of Caballo, along with neighboring Truth or Consequences, Elephant Butte, Arrey, and Derry.
