Our Work
Benefits
Modern, Future-Ready Installations
We design commercial pool electrical with scalability in mind: automation-ready subpanels, networked controllers, and low-voltage LED lighting. Our team integrates variable-speed pumps, demand-response scheduling for Title 24 compliance, and remote monitoring for heaters and chemical controllers. Where appropriate, we tie pool systems into your BMS via BACnet/Modbus gateways. Materials include THWN-2 copper, NEMA 3R/4X enclosures, Schedule 80 PVC where exposed, and surge protection for sensitive electronics to keep systems reliable and easy to expand.
Permits and Local Compliance Experts
Shaffer Construction manages permitting, drawings, and coordination with the City of Culver City Building and Safety Division. We build to the California Electrical Code (based on NEC 2020), NEC Article 680, California Energy Code (Title 24), and manufacturer installation standards. For public pools, we coordinate with LA County Public Health for plan check, required safety signage, emergency shutoff placement, and inspection scheduling—ensuring your project passes the first time and opens on schedule.
Unmatched Professional Workmanship
Our crews install GFCI breakers, weatherproof disconnects, and equipotential bonding grids with calibrated torque tools and documented test results. We use THWN-2 copper conductors, liquidtight flexible conduit at equipment connections, stainless hardware for corrosion resistance, and properly sized equipment grounding conductors. Before turnover, we megger-test conductors, verify GFCI trip times, and confirm bonding continuity at rails, ladders, and metallic appurtenances—delivering a dependable, inspection-ready installation.
Custom-Tailored Electrical Design
Every property is different. We begin with a detailed load study, equipment inventory, and site survey—paying special attention to rooftop penetrations, egress paths, and equipment room ventilation. We produce a tailored one-line diagram and trench/conduit layout that minimizes disruption and downtime. For operating hotels, gyms, and multifamily pools, we schedule off-hours work and phased cutovers so you maintain amenity access while we complete upgrades safely and efficiently.
What We Offer
We offer turnkey, code-compliant commercial pool, hot tub, and spa electrical services tailored to Culver City properties. Typical scopes include:
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit in Culver City to replace a pool pump or spa heater at my commercial property?+
Yes. The City of Culver City Building and Safety Division requires an electrical permit for equipment replacements that alter wiring, overcurrent protection, or disconnects. We provide drawings, load calculations, and cut sheets. For public pools and spas, LA County Public Health may also require plan review and inspections, particularly if circulation or disinfection equipment is modified.
How long will my pool or spa be offline during an electrical upgrade?+
Most projects take 1–3 days onsite. We often stage work to keep portions of your amenity available, scheduling cutovers during off-hours. For larger scopes—new subpanels, long conduit runs, or rooftop penetrations—downtime may extend, but we’ll phase the work and coordinate with staff to minimize impact on guests and residents.
What are the bonding and GFCI requirements for commercial pools and spas?+
NEC Article 680 requires equipotential bonding of the deck (typically #8 AWG bare copper grid) and bonding of all metallic components within 5 feet of the water. All receptacles and equipment circuits serving the pool area require GFCI protection. Spa systems must include a clearly marked emergency shutoff switch within sight of the spa and at least 5 feet from the water.
We have a rooftop spa in a mixed-use development near Ivy Station. Are there special considerations?+
Yes. We plan for waterproof roof penetrations, proper conduit supports, seismic anchoring of equipment, corrosion-resistant hardware, and coordination with the roofing contractor. We also verify structural pathways for conduits, clearances for maintenance, and compliance with disconnect location rules and emergency shutoff visibility.
Will you coordinate with LA County Public Health for our hotel’s public spa?+
Absolutely. For public and semi-public facilities, we prepare the electrical portions of the health submittal, coordinate inspection timing for pre-plaster and final, and ensure required signage and emergency shutoffs are in place. We also provide testing documentation to help your facility pass on the first visit.
