Hot tubs and saunas are a wonderful addition to any home, but they require specialized electrical work to operate safely. Most full-size hot tubs and electric saunas need a dedicated 240-volt circuit with 40 to 60 amps of power—far more than a standard household outlet provides. A panel upgrade may be necessary to accommodate the added load.
At Josh LaFerriere Electric, we provide professional hot tub and sauna wiring services throughout Southern Maine. We ensure your installation is safe, code-compliant, and properly sized for your specific equipment—so you can relax and enjoy your investment without worry.

What's Included in Our Service
Dedicated 240V Circuit
We install a dedicated 240-volt circuit sized to your hot tub or sauna's specific power requirements, ensuring optimal performance.
GFCI Protection
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter protection is required by code for hot tubs and saunas. We install GFCI breakers to protect against electrical shock.
Proper Wire Gauge
We use the correct wire gauge for your specific installation distance and amperage requirements to prevent overheating and voltage drop.
Disconnect Switch Installation
NEC code requires a visible disconnect switch within sight of the hot tub or sauna, positioned at least 5 feet away. We install this to spec.
Code Compliance Inspection
We ensure every installation meets National Electrical Code (NEC) and local building code requirements, and coordinate with inspectors as needed.
Panel Capacity Assessment
Before installation, we verify your panel has sufficient capacity. If an upgrade is needed, we handle that too. We recommend adding whole-house surge protection to protect your investment.
Why Professional Installation Matters
Hot tubs and saunas combine electricity and water—two things that require expert handling. For any emergency electrical issues, call us immediately. Here's why hiring a licensed electrician is essential:
Safety
Improper wiring near water creates serious risks of electrical shock or fire. A licensed electrician ensures every connection is safe, grounded, and protected by GFCI.
Code Compliance
Local and national electrical codes have specific requirements for hot tub and sauna installations. Non-compliant work can result in failed inspections, fines, or insurance issues.
Warranty Protection
Many hot tub and sauna manufacturers require professional electrical installation to maintain the warranty. DIY wiring could void your coverage.

What our customers say
Lucas Bernacki
August 2026
Josh (and Charlie) provided excellent service. We called for a site visit and an estimate. They got us on the schedule within a week, showed up on time, offered a fair price, and were able to complete the work the same day! After they replaced the electrical panel, they took the time to work with me to test and clearly label each switch.

Josh was professional through and through. He responded quickly, came out to assess my new circuit installation needs and discussed options, clearly listening to my concerns. He then gave me an upfront estimate and got it all done same day. The new run is tidy, he cleaned up thoroughly, and was overall great to work with.

Josh has done two projects for us, including troubleshooting some non-working outlets and installing a new bathroom fan. He’s extremely courteous, professional, reliable, and offers fair pricing. Highly recommend for any electrical needs!
Hot Tub & Sauna Wiring FAQs
Does a hot tub need a dedicated circuit?
Yes. Most tubs need a dedicated 240V circuit with GFCI protection, sized to the manufacturer's spec.
Can my current panel handle a hot tub?
We check available capacity. If the panel is full or undersized, we quote a panel or sub-panel upgrade first.
Do you wire indoor saunas too?
Yes. We install 240V circuits for hot tubs and saunas, indoors or out, to code.
Is a disconnect required?
Outdoor tubs typically need a local disconnect in sight of the equipment. We include required disconnects and GFCI protection.
Can you wire a tub I already bought?
Yes. Bring the nameplate specs or the install manual and we size the circuit to that unit.
