Details That Matter Most

Hot tub and sauna installations begin with a site assessment to determine circuit capacity, wire routing, and disconnect placement. Your electrician will evaluate your existing panel and calculate load requirements based on the manufacturer's specifications for your spa or sauna. This ensures your home in Kalispell can safely support the new equipment without overloading circuits or creating fire hazards.

Wapiti Electric installs GFCI protection at the subpanel or disconnect, which is required by code and critical for preventing shock in wet environments. Weather-rated conduit and sealed junction boxes protect wiring from moisture, snow, and freezing temperatures throughout the Flathead Valley. The team has completed hundreds of spa and sauna installations across the region, building a reputation for quality and reliability.

Wire sizing follows National Electrical Code standards to handle the amperage draw of pumps, heaters, and control systems. Disconnect switches are installed within sight of the spa for emergency shutoff, and all connections are tested under load before the project is finalized. Final walkthroughs include verifying GFCI function, checking voltage at the unit, and confirming all components are secure and code-compliant.
