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.

Before your hot tub arrives

Why Embudo properties call a local electrician
At elevation, Embudo sees cold winters, heavy snow on service lines, and lightning in the summer. Space heaters, heat tape, and well pumps work hard here, and many older homes were wired long before those loads existed.
Depending on your address, power in Rio Arriba County typically comes from Jemez Mountains Electric Cooperative, Kit Carson Electric Cooperative, or Northern Rio Arriba Electric Cooperative. When a job involves the meter or the service connection, we coordinate the shutoff and reconnection with the utility.
