About this service in Apopka

Pump and motor circuits, variable-speed pumps, pool and spa lights, heaters and heat pumps, automation, hot tub installs, GFCI protection and bonding. Pool electrical work has specific safety rules, so it needs a licensed electrical contractor. Tell us about your equipment and we’ll connect you with an independent provider.

Pools on larger Apopka lots are sometimes far from the main panel, which affects how pump, heater and light circuits are run. Older pools may lack proper bonding. Variable-speed pump upgrades and LED light conversions are common, and spas added later often need their own circuit from the main panel or a subpanel.

Safety first

Smoke, sparks or a burning smell? Leave the area and call 911. A downed power line? Stay away and call your electric utility.

Signs and situations

Bonding

Pool metal parts, the shell's steel and nearby surfaces are tied together with a solid copper bonding conductor so they stay at the same voltage. Bonding is different from grounding.

GFCI protection

Pool pumps, lights and nearby outlets generally need GFCI protection. A tripping GFCI is a signal to check, never to bypass.

Equipment upgrades

New variable-speed pumps, heat pumps and LED lights may need new circuits or controls.

Hot tubs and spas

A new spa usually needs its own dedicated circuit, sized from the manufacturer's specifications.

Call about Pool & Spa Electrical Work

Before you hire

  • Ask for the Florida license number and check it on the DBPR license search
  • Ask whether a permit is needed and get the permit number
  • Get the estimate in writing, including what's not included
  • Make sure the final inspection passes and the permit is closed

Frequently asked questions

Get everyone out of the water immediately and keep them out. Don’t touch the ladder, rails or equipment. If you can reach the pool equipment breakers without touching water or wet equipment, turn them off. A tingle can mean a fault in a light, a pump or the wiring, or a broken bonding connection. Have an electrician who does pool work test the system before anyone swims again.
