While your pool might appear ready, this is not true when it comes to electricity. Even if you’ve recently installed new pool equipment, your breaker trips too often, the wiring is old, or you had some electrical work done in your backyard, it must be properly taken care of.
At Salter Electric, our pool electricians in Ottawa can examine the electrical setup and advise you on what should be done. We offer a 12-month warranty for any electrical job.
The electrical installation in your pool must be capable of handling the equipment that will be used while keeping safety in mind. We can evaluate your system and let you know what needs to be done from new pool installation to equipment upgrades or repairs related to electrical issues.
Wiring is an important consideration in pools because of the outdoor nature of the electric equipment and water. The electrical needs of a new pool or an existing system can be analyzed, and the necessary wiring done.
Electrical needs will be known before the job is even done, unlike guessing if the current system meets those needs.
The pump of a pool needs electric power to move the water through the entire pool system. A pool heater could increase the electrical needs of your house.
The electrical layout will be assessed, and any necessary wiring or electrical works will be determined.
Pool lighting makes your backyard usable even during the night-time hours, but the electrical wiring must be done right.
We can evaluate the electrical needs for your pool lighting and install the equipment as part of our pool electrical services.
There’s an appropriate level of protection and electrical capacity required for pool electrical systems. GFCI protection, bonding, grounding, circuit breakers, and panel capacity all have to be taken into account when installing your pool equipment.
We’ll evaluate your existing electrical system and see if it can handle your pool equipment or you need any electrical upgrades.
Installing a new pool or installing new pool equipment will increase your electrical needs at home. So, it is wise to plan the installation of electricity before the installation of pool equipment.
If you’re building a new pool, we’ll check the electrical needs of the installation before completion. The electrical installation will be checked on the electrical wiring, electrical components, circuits and the amount of electrical capacity available.
You’ll have an upfront quote and a detailed explanation of the electrical work needed, hence knowing exactly what you’ll be working with during the electrical installation process.
Adding a pump, heater, light or any other pool equipment, the electrical system of the house might need some more power. If the electrical capacity isn’t enough, we’ll inform you before connecting pool equipment.
Our aim here is simply ensuring your electrical installation is suitable for the equipment to be used.
Resetting the breaker won’t necessarily fix the real problem if your pool’s breaker keeps tripping.
Salter Electric will test the system, identify the problem, explain what should be done, and conduct a safety test afterward.
