Pool, Hot Tub & Spa Electrical in Glendale

Yes. The City of Glendale Building and Safety Division requires permits for new pool/spa circuits, bonding grids, subpanels, and lighting. We prepare the submittal, respond to plan review comments, and meet the inspector for rough and final inspections. Expect 2–3 weeks for permit processing, then inspections are scheduled within 1–3 days of request.

We regularly work on sloped properties. We plan conduit paths to minimize cuts, use rigid or Schedule 80 where needed, and verify depth and support on stepped grades. For rocky soils, we adjust tooling and routes to meet burial requirements while protecting landscaping. Our goal is neat, durable pathways that pass inspection and blend in.

We perform a CEC Article 220 load calculation to determine capacity. In many mid-century homes, adding a spa and EVSE together may require panel upgrades or load management. Options include a 200A service upgrade, adding a pool subpanel, or managed charging schedules. We’ll present choices with costs and timelines before work begins.

CEC/NEC Article 680 specifies spacing. Generally, at least one receptacle must be between 6–20 feet from the water’s edge and GFCI-protected with an in‑use cover. Equipment disconnects must be within sight yet not closer than allowed by code (often 5 feet from water). We’ll place devices to satisfy code and maximize convenience.
