Are you ready for those warm summer nights? Nights you will want to enjoy outside as you unwind underneath the stars. Have you considered making your backyard relaxation the ultimate experience by having a hot tub installed? If so, you are going to need to give your Burbank electrician a call to complete the installation process. Fortunately, you can count on the experienced and professional electricians at The Electric Connection to get your hot tub up and running in no time.

Hot tubs are an absolutely fantastic way to relax after a long day working out in the yard or slaving away at your job. Friends and family members will love popping over and sitting in the hot tub as you chat about the day and your plans for the future. The company where you buy the hot tub from will likely encourage you to hire an electrician for the installation of the hot tub. This is crucial to the safety of your hot tub and ultimately, your home.

You will need a 240-volt outlet to operate the hot tub. This isn’t a standard outlet. You will need to have one installed by an electrician. Burbank residents can choose where the hot tub is going to be placed, but it is important to consider the electrical needs. Conduit will need to be buried to make the hot tub safe to use. Consider the distance between the house and where you are considering placing the hot tub. Your electrician will need to do an inspection of your electric panel to determine if it is capable of supporting the additional outlet. If it isn’t, you will need an electric panel upgrade, which your electrician will take care of for you. If you are ready to start enjoying the great outdoors from the comfort of your own hot tub, give The Electric Connection a call today.
