Summer in Lakeland means one thing: cooling off in the pool or relaxing in the spa. But before you and your family take a dip, it's crucial to ensure the electrical systems are safe and up to code. Water and electricity are a dangerous combination, so proper maintenance is non-negotiable.
What an Electrician Checks:
Proper Grounding:Â Grounding prevents electrical shocks and is your first line of defense.
GFCIs (Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupters):Â These are mandatory for all pool and spa electrical circuits. They instantly cut power if a ground fault is detected, protecting swimmers from a potential shock.
Wiring and Connections:Â An electrician will inspect all wiring for signs of wear and tear, and ensure all connections are secure and weatherproof.
Subpanel and Breakers:Â They'll check the dedicated subpanel for your pool or spa to make sure it's working correctly and can handle the load.
Regular inspections by a licensed electrician are the best way to ensure your pool and spa are a source of fun, not a safety risk.
