Pool Electrical, piece by piece

What a Pool's Electrical System Is Made Of

01

Equipment circuits

The pump, the heater or heat pump, the chlorinator, and the automation each need a circuit sized to the equipment's label. Swapping in a larger pump or adding a heat pump can mean a new circuit, and sometimes a subpanel at the pad.

  • Variable-speed pumps, heat pumps, salt systems, and automation controllers.
  • A disconnect at the equipment so it can be serviced safely.
  • A subpanel at the pad when several pieces of equipment share one feed.
02

Protection

Pool equipment and pool-area outlets need ground-fault protection, so a ground fault shuts the circuit off quickly. That protection is designed to prevent a dangerous shock.

03

Bonding

Bonding ties the pool's metal parts, from the pump motor and the ladder to the rebar in the deck, together with a bare copper conductor, so they sit at the same voltage. It's what keeps a swimmer from feeling a tingle between the water and the rail, and the electrical code requires it.

04

Lights

Pool lights sit in a niche under the water and are fed through a junction box set above the water line. Many newer pool lights are low-voltage LED, powered through a transformer; older ones run on 120 volts. A dead pool light can be the lamp, the seal, or the ground-fault protection.

05

Ponds and water features

Fountains, pond pumps, and aquatic features need an outdoor-rated circuit with ground-fault protection and often their own lighting.

How Pool Work Is priced

How Pool Work Is Billed

01

Repair and troubleshooting visits are billed by the hour from arrival: $100 residential, $150 commercial, one-hour minimum, then half-hour increments, plus materials. No trip charge and no service fee. No hidden fees: the 3.5% surcharge on card and ACH payments is listed in our terms.

02

We don't do upfront pricing. No job has a standard price with us: each one is tailored to the property and the work you've asked for, and priced once we've seen it.

We offer free estimates on installs, upgrades, and replacements in our service area. Estimates aren't free when the job needs troubleshooting or testing to price, falls after hours or outside our service area, needs several meetings to gather information, or is new construction or a custom remodel with multi-party walk-throughs. For most jobs, estimates arrive by email by the end of the next business day, and quotes are good for 30 days.

03

Custom homes and large or multi-phase projects are estimated as soon as we can, or on the timeline your project sets.

Our warranty

04

If something we installed fails because of our workmanship within 30 days of completion, we waive the hourly labor to put it right. Materials Kennedy Electric purchases for your job carry the manufacturer's one-year warranty. To replace defective materials we supplied, or materials damaged by storm, flood, fire, or other acts of God, we charge a reduced warranty labor rate of $50 an hour residential and $75 an hour commercial. The warranty does not cover materials not purchased by Kennedy Electric, work performed by the customer, or materials the customer purchased or damaged. Our warranty terms are printed on the estimate, the invoice, and the receipt, and the product boxes stay with you so you can register each product with its manufacturer.

Frequently asked Questions

Pool and Spa Electrical Questions

My pool pump stopped. Is that an emergency?

Make sure no one is in the pool or spa, then call us. It's not an electrical emergency, but we schedule it as soon as we can during business hours.

Why does my pool equipment trip the GFCI when it rains?

Water is getting into a box, a connection, or a motor. Ground-fault protection is doing its job; the fix is finding where the water is getting in.

I felt a tingle in the pool. What should I do?

Get everyone out of the water without touching the ladder, rails, or light. Call 911 if anyone is hurt. Keep everyone out until the bonding has been checked.

Can you switch my old pool light to LED?

In most cases, yes. Some conversions use a new LED fixture and transformer; others use an LED lamp in the existing fixture. We'll look at the niche and the wiring first.
