Our Work
Benefits
Modern Electrical Solutions
We design pool and spa power with tomorrow in mind. Our installations support variable-speed pumps, heat pumps, and automation platforms like Pentair IntelliCenter, Jandy iAquaLink, and Hayward OmniLogic. We install scalable load centers, dedicated conduits for future accessories (LED lighting, salt systems, water features), and robust Wi‑Fi/ethernet bridges for reliable app control in dense buildings. Surge protection, high-efficiency transformers, and labeled circuits make maintenance simple and upgrades painless.
Permitting & Code Compliance
Shaffer Construction navigates West Hollywood permitting, plans inspections, and delivers to code—NEC 680 for pools and spas, California Electrical Code, and California Title 20/24 efficiency requirements for pool equipment. We handle as‑built documentation, inspection scheduling, and HOA submittals. GFCI protection, equipotential bonding, and compliant disconnects are verified before final. You’ll have a fully documented, city‑approved installation that passes inspection smoothly.
Expert Craftsmanship Guaranteed
We use listed, corrosion-resistant materials: copper THWN‑2 conductors, Schedule 80 PVC above grade, NEMA 3R/4X enclosures, stainless bonding clamps, and in-use weatherproof covers. Conductors are sized for voltage drop and heat, terminations are torqued to spec, and penetrations are sealed to protect building envelopes. Our field leads follow lockout/tagout and NFPA 70E safety protocols. The result: neat, labeled, dependable systems that look as good as they perform.
Customized Project Planning
Every project starts with a site assessment: panel capacity, trench routes, rooftop access, and Wi‑Fi signal checks for automation. We coordinate with your HOA and property manager, select discreet equipment locations, and produce a plan that fits your schedule and the building’s constraints. From quiet pump selection to concealed conduit runs, our designs are as thoughtful as they are compliant.
What We Offer
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit in West Hollywood for replacing a pool pump or adding a new spa circuit?+
Yes. The City of West Hollywood Building and Safety Division requires electrical permits for new spa circuits, pump replacements that alter wiring, and most equipment upgrades. We handle permit applications, coordinate any HOA approvals, and schedule inspections to keep the process smooth and compliant with NEC 680 and California Electrical Code.
How long does the process take for a condo rooftop spa near the Sunset Strip?+
Typical timeline is 1–3 weeks for permit and 1–3 days for installation, depending on access and HOA scheduling. Rooftop work can require core drilling, waterproofing coordination, and longer wire runs, so we plan conductor sizing for voltage drop and arrange inspections in stages (bonding, rough, final) with the city.
What if my older Spanish Revival home has limited panel capacity?+
We perform a detailed load calculation and can add a spa subpanel or upgrade your main panel if needed. We also employ load management strategies and dedicated circuits to safely support 240V spa packs or heat pumps while keeping lighting and receptacle circuits stable and code‑compliant.
Can you integrate my pool equipment with smart home systems?+
Absolutely. We install and configure automation such as Pentair IntelliCenter, Jandy iAquaLink, and Hayward OmniLogic, deploy outdoor‑rated Wi‑Fi bridges if needed, and coordinate with your smart home integrator. You’ll get remote scheduling, temperature control, lighting scenes, and real‑time alerts from your phone.
What does equipotential bonding involve and why is it important?+
Bonding connects metallic parts—rebar, ladders, pump motors, handrails—using #8 solid copper to equalize voltage around the pool or spa. This reduces shock hazard and is required by NEC 680. We install and test the bonding grid before deck pours, then verify continuity during inspection.
