Hot tubs are a great way to relax and unwind—but before you enjoy that first soak, you need to make sure your hot tub is wired safely and up to code. At Auto Charge Pros, we help Northern Virginia homeowners get reliable, properly installed electrical service for their new hot tubs—without stress or surprises.
Whether you’re in Ashburn, Leesburg, Brambleton, Fairfax, or Gainesville, we’ll handle everything from permits to panel space so you can enjoy your hot tub with peace of mind.
Why You Can’t Just Plug In a Hot Tub
Most modern hot tubs require a dedicated 240-volt circuit, often rated between 40 to 60 amps, depending on the model. This means:
A new breaker must be added to your main panel
You’ll need GFCI protection, either via a dedicated spa panel or GFCI breaker
The wire must be properly sized and rated for outdoor/wet use
Permits and inspections are required by most local jurisdictions (including Loudoun and Fairfax Counties)
Improper wiring can cause breaker tripping, safety hazards, or even void your manufacturer warranty. That’s why it’s important to hire a licensed electrician with hot tub experience.
