NO JOB IS TOO SMALL
Pool & Spa Electrical Services in New Haven
A pool or hot tub is a wonderful addition to any home, but it also introduces a serious electrical safety challenge. The combination of water, electricity, and people requires the highest level of professional expertise. Improper wiring can lead to severe electric shock hazards and equipment failure. There is no room for error.
The licensed electricians at Sampson Electric are highly trained in the specific codes and requirements for poolside electrical systems. We understand the critical importance of proper grounding, bonding, and GFCI protection. Our meticulous approach ensures that your pool, spa, or hot tub is a safe and reliable source of enjoyment for your family and friends.
Pool & Spa Equipment Wiring
The heart of your pool or spa is its equipment. We provide professional installation and wiring for all critical components, ensuring they have a safe and reliable power source. This includes:
- Pool Pumps and Motors
- Water Heaters (Gas and Electric)
- Filtration and Chlorination Systems
- Automated Pool Covers
Underwater & Landscape Lighting
Illuminate your pool for stunning nighttime beauty and enhanced safety. We install vibrant and energy-efficient LED underwater lighting. We also design and install surrounding landscape lighting for pool decks and patios, creating a complete and inviting outdoor atmosphere.
Safe Bonding & Grounding
Bonding and grounding are the most critical safety features of any pool electrical system. Bonding connects all metal components (ladders, railings, light fixtures) to prevent electrical voltage from energizing the water. Grounding protects equipment from power surges. We ensure all components are bonded and grounded strictly according to the National Electrical Code (NEC).
Hot Tub & Spa Hookups
Installing a new hot tub? We handle the complete electrical hookup, which includes running a dedicated circuit from your main panel and installing a GFCI-protected disconnect switch near the spa. This guarantees your hot tub has the power it needs and the safety features required by code.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is electrical bonding, and why is it crucial for my pool's safety?
Electrical bonding is the most critical safety feature of any pool or spa installation. It involves connecting all metallic components of the pool—such as ladders, handrails, light fixtures, and the pump—with a continuous wire. This creates an equal electrical potential across all items, preventing dangerous voltage from energizing the water and causing electric shock. At Sampson Electric, we ensure your pool’s bonding and grounding system is installed flawlessly and meets all National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements for your family’s protection.
Can I install a hot tub or spa myself, or do I need a licensed electrician?
You should always hire a licensed electrician for a hot tub or spa hookup. These appliances require a dedicated 240-volt circuit, which must be run from your main electrical panel. More importantly, they require a specific type of protection called a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) installed at a code-compliant distance from the spa. Improper wiring is a serious fire and electrocution hazard. Our electricians ensure your new spa is powered safely and passes all local inspections.
What kind of lighting can be installed in and around a pool?
We install a variety of beautiful and safe lighting solutions to enhance your pool and spa area. This includes modern, energy-efficient LED underwater lights that can change color and create a stunning ambiance. We also specialize in surrounding landscape lighting for pool decks and patios, including pathway lights and step lights. All poolside lighting installations require strict adherence to electrical codes to prevent water intrusion and ensure safety, a standard our team upholds on every project.
My pool pump motor keeps tripping the circuit breaker. What could be the cause?
A pool pump that repeatedly trips a breaker is a sign of an underlying electrical problem. The issue could be a worn-out or failing motor drawing too much current, a faulty circuit breaker, or moisture that has gotten into the electrical components. It might also indicate improper wiring or an undersized circuit. It is essential to have this diagnosed by a professional. Our technicians can troubleshoot the pool equipment wiring to identify the root cause and perform the necessary repairs to restore safe, reliable operation.
What is involved in the electrical work for a new in-ground pool installation?
The electrical work for a new pool is a multi-step process that must be coordinated with your pool builder. It includes trenching to run underground conduit from your home’s electrical panel to the pool equipment pad, installing a dedicated sub-panel for all the pool equipment, and wiring the pump, heater, filter system, and lighting. The most critical steps are the proper bonding of the pool’s steel rebar before the concrete is poured and the final grounding of all equipment. We handle this entire process to ensure your new pool is code-compliant and safe from day one.
