Who we are
Denver's go-to hot tub and sauna electrical experts
Water and electricity is the one area of residential wiring with its own code article, and it is where we see the most dangerous DIY work. Cedarwell wires spas, swim spas, indoor and outdoor saunas, cold plunges and steam rooms to Article 680 and 680.24 clearances every week.
We coordinate directly with Denver-area spa and sauna dealers so the circuit is live, inspected and tested when the delivery truck pulls away.

- Written flat-rate pricing before work starts

Why hire a pro
Benefits of hiring a licensed professional for Hot Tub & Sauna Electrical
It isn't only about the finished result — it's about permits, safety, insurance and what happens when you sell the house.
01
GFCI protection sized correctly
A spa without the right GFCI disconnect is a shock hazard the moment a heater element fails.
02
Bonding prevents stray voltage
Equipotential bonding is what stops a tingle in the water from becoming an electrocution.
03
Passes the dealer's requirements
Most manufacturers void the spa warranty if the circuit isn't installed to their spec by a licensed electrician.
04
Built for freeze-thaw
Correct burial depth and weather-rated equipment survive Colorado winters and spring runoff.
Who needs this
Do you need Hot Tub & Sauna Electrical?
If any of these sound like your home or building, it's worth a free assessment. We'll tell you honestly what's urgent, what can wait and what doesn't need doing at all.
Your spa is on order
Dealers deliver on a fixed schedule; the circuit needs to be ready first.
You're adding a home sauna
Most electric heaters need a dedicated 240V circuit your garage or basement doesn't have.
You bought a used tub
Second-hand spas frequently arrive without a compliant disconnect or bonding.

Nuisance tripping usually points to a failing heater, moisture intrusion or a wiring fault.
