Commercial Pool, Hot Tub & Spa Electrical Services in Echo Park

Our team handles everything—load calculations, bonding and grounding, GFCI protection, automation, and permitting—so your residents, guests, or members enjoy reliable water amenities without downtime. Whether you’re upgrading an existing equipment room or building a new pool deck, we bring local expertise, fast timelines, and meticulous workmanship to every project.

Modern Solutions for Pools & Spas

We design for today and tomorrow: variable‑speed pump controls, smart automation (Pentair IntelliCenter, Hayward OmniLogic, Jandy Aqualink), and networkable controllers for remote monitoring and alerts. Our layouts include oversized conduit pathways, labeled pull boxes, and spare circuit capacity for future heaters, salt systems, or water features. Surge protection, Wi‑Fi/Ethernet gateways, and load‑shedding readiness help you adapt to Title 24 standards and utility demand‑response programs without rework.

Code-Compliant Installations

Shaffer Construction manages LADBS electrical permits, coordinates plan check, and schedules inspections. For public/commercial pools, we compile submittals for LA County Public Health. Our installations follow the California Electrical Code (CEC), NEC Article 680, LA City amendments, Title 24, and UL‑listed equipment standards. We document GFCI/AFCI protection, bonding continuity, and fault‑current pathways, ensuring your pool and spa power passes the first time and remains compliant for years.

Experienced, Trusted Craftsmanship

We use THWN‑2 copper conductors sized for load and voltage drop, Schedule 80 PVC or RMC near wet and high‑impact areas, NEMA 3R/4X enclosures, and listed bronze bonding clamps with #8 AWG solid copper for equipotential grids. Connections are torqued to spec with calibrated tools, and circuits are megger-tested before energizing. Clear labeling, as‑builts, and O&M documentation simplify maintenance for managers and service techs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit to replace a pool pump or add a spa in an Echo Park apartment building?+

Yes. LADBS requires electrical permits for new circuits, equipment replacements that alter wiring, and most pool/spa work. For public/commercial pools (apartments, hotels, gyms), LA County Public Health also reviews plans and inspects. We handle both processes and coordinate your inspection schedule.

Our building is in or near an HPOZ—can you hide conduits and equipment?+

We design low‑visibility routes, use paintable conduit, and consolidate equipment in screened locations when allowed. If HPOZ review is required (e.g., Angelino Heights), we prepare documentation and work with your team to preserve the façade while meeting code.

What if our house panel is undersized for new pool equipment?+

We perform load calculations and can add a dedicated subpanel or upgrade the house panel. Often, a small subpanel near the equipment room and right‑sized circuits for pumps/heaters solve capacity and voltage‑drop issues without extensive service upgrades.

How long will the pool or spa be offline during electrical work?+

Most installations take 1–3 days. We sequence work to keep filtration downtime as short as possible, often restoring circulation the same day. We coordinate with property schedules to avoid peak use times and provide advance notice to residents or guests.

Can you integrate automation and remote monitoring for our maintenance team?+

Yes. We install and program Pentair, Hayward, and Jandy automation with remote dashboards and alerts. Your staff can monitor temperatures, pump schedules, and equipment status from a phone or office PC, reducing site visits and catching issues early.
