What we do

We install a code-compliant NEMA 3R weatherproof disconnect switch in direct line of sight of the spa equipment pack.

Reviews

What Puyallup customers say

Rated 4.9 out of 5 across 184 customer reviews.

Our 1980s breaker panel started buzzing violently during an afternoon windstorm when our heat pump kicked on. Pro Electrician had a truck at our home within 40 minutes, identified loose bus bar connections, and replaced the failing breakers safely.

David R.

South Hill, Puyallup, WA

Living in a 1920s historic craftsman home, our insurance required knob-and-tube mitigation. Their team rewired our attic and living spaces without damaging our lath-and-plaster walls. Clean, courteous, and passed L&I inspection with flying colors.

Patricia M.

Downtown Puyallup, WA

After repeated winter storm power outages on the plateau, we decided on a Generac standby generator with an automatic transfer switch. The team handled the permits through Bonney Lake seamlessly and completed the installation with outstanding craftsmanship.

Robert K.

Bonney Lake, WA

Installed a Tesla Wall Connector in our finished two-car garage. They ran conduit neatly along the ceiling joists, installed a 60-amp dedicated breaker, and completed the job in under three hours with zero mess.

Questions

Hot Tub & Heat Pump Wiring FAQs for Puyallup Residents

Direct answers, with a link to the full guide where there is more to say.

How far must the electrical disconnect be from a hot tub?

The National Electrical Code requires the disconnect to be at least 5 feet away from the water edge, but within sight and no further than 50 feet away.

Read the full guide arrow_forward
Can my existing electrical panel handle both a heat pump and a hot tub?

A 200-amp panel handles both with ease. If you have an older 100A service, an upgrade or load management system is usually required.

Why does my hot tub require a neutral conductor?

Modern hot tubs require 120V for control boards and digital displays, plus 240V for heavy heater elements and jet pumps, requiring a 4-wire circuit.
