Planning hot tub wiring before delivery
The best time to call an electrician is before the tub arrives. Placement affects the wiring route, the disconnect location and clearances from overhead lines and windows. Most full-size tubs need a four-wire 240 volt feed, while smaller plug-and-play models run on a dedicated 120 volt circuit. In Cadillac, where tubs run all winter, we also make sure the circuit is sized for continuous heater operation in the cold.
