Numerous studies have linked frequent sauna use to health benefits, such as lowered blood pressure and a decreased risk of strokes or cardiovascular disease. They also double as a great place to cook sausages, or kiuasmakkara.
No matter where or how large you want your new facility to be, we’ve got you covered. From simple adjustments to complete rewiring and electrical panel upgrades, we have the knowledge and experience to get the job done right.
Should your facility be outdoors and located far from an established electrical panel, we’re adept at installing trench wires and conduits. While this process will take longer, it provides greater flexibility when it comes to choosing where you want your hot tub or sauna to be.
Even if your hot tub or sauna appears to be running smoothly, scheduling routine servicing can make sure your facility remains in good working order. We provide professional inspections and preventative maintenance checks for wiring, voltage output, and equipment safety, giving you peace of mind and extending the life of your relaxing haven.
Installing hot tubs and saunas requires adherence to electrical codes and proper permit certification. We manage the paperwork, coordinate inspections, and guarantee every installation meets both national and local standards.
The choice between a hot tub or sauna really boils down to what you’re hoping to achieve from using them, as well as if you want to have a social experience:
While some basic plug-and-play hot tub or sauna models may be able to run on the typical 120-volt outlets found in houses, the power draw for these facilities is often much higher—without a dedicated 240-volt hardwired circuit, there’s a high chance the breaker could overload, resulting in severe electrical damage and a potential fire.
To remain on the safe side, a trained electrician should install a 240-volt circuit at your location, along with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) box in a spot away from the water and/or steam.
On average, wiring for a hot tub installation takes 2–4 hours, but this process can take longer if more advanced procedures—such as burying a cable or upgrading a panel—are required.
For saunas, installation usually requires 4 hours for indoor locations, while outdoor installations can take 1–2 days; like hot tubs, advanced requirements will increase the amount of time needed.
For hot tub installations, the cost varies depending on system capacity, wiring needs, and material requirements. In general, this process ranges from $500 to $1,600 in Central Oregon.
Sauna pricing primarily depends on style (traditional v. infrared) and location (indoor v. outdoor). For an indoor infrared stall, the cost will likely be between $1,800 and $7,000, while a traditional outdoor cabin could run from $6,000 to $18,000.
We provide upfront estimates before any work begins.
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has mandated that all hot tub and sauna electrical elements run through a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) box. This breaker detects minute changes in electrical currents, immediately shutting off any power if it notices a decrease—as this shift can occur due to electricity exiting the system through water or a person, it’s essential that the GFCI acts quickly to prevent physical harm.
The NFPA outlined multiple requirements for GFCI boxes in the National Electric Code, with the two primary necessities being:
