We hired Ampt Over Electric to replace some old, dead light fixtures in our kitchen. Jeff arrived on time and was very quick, efficient and professional! I would recommend them to anyone looking to get some electrical work done. Thank you for making our kitchen bright again!!
Jorden at Ampt Over Electric got us a great quote (cheapest of all the quotes) to replace our outdated electrical panel.Jeff removed our old panel and installed the new one. He was patient enough to explain to me what he was doing while he worked. Clearly knowledgeable and customer focused. He even helped me clear out my utilities room so the work could be done.We are excited to have Jeff back to replace out outdoor lights with LED’s next!
Jeff did an incredible job installing our hot tub. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely detail-oriented. The wiring was done cleanly and safely, and everything was organized in a way that showed real care and craftsmanship. He clearly knows his stuff and takes pride in doing the job right.It’s not easy finding tradespeople who show up on time, communicate clearly, and leave the site spotless — but Jeff checked every box. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing electrical work or hot tub installation. Solid work all around. Thanks again, Jeff!
Had Jeff from Ampt Over in to do a few jobs that were more than I could do myself. He was very professional, knowledgeable and an extreme pleasure to work with.

Since 2009, Ampt Over Electric has completed hundreds of hot tub electrical installations across Calgary. Our team specializes in spa wiring projects of all sizes, from simple plug-and-play connections to complex 60-amp hardwired systems requiring panel upgrades.
What sets us apart is our full-service approach. While other electricians only handle wiring, we coordinate the entire process: electrical installation, professional spa moving with crane service when needed, and removal of old units. One company, one point of contact, one seamless experience.
Our hot tub wiring services include:
Every installation complies with Alberta electrical safety codes and the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) Section 68, which governs pools, tubs, and spas.
Hot tub electrical requirements in Calgary follow Alberta electrical safety regulations and the Canadian Electrical Code. Most 4-6 person hot tubs require a dedicated 240-volt circuit with 40-60 amp service, depending on heater wattage and pump configuration.
Standard hot tub wiring specifications:
Before beginning any installation, our electricians perform load calculations to determine if your existing electrical panel can handle the additional demand. Many Calgary homes built before 1990 have 100-amp panels that may already be near capacity, especially if you have an electric range, dryer, or central air conditioning. If your panel needs upgrading, we handle the ENMAX coordination required for service increases.
Yes. All hot tub electrical installations in Calgary require a permit from the City of Calgary to comply with Alberta Safety Codes Act requirements. We handle the entire permit process—application, fee payment, and inspection scheduling—so you don’t have to visit city hall or navigate the online portal yourself.
We’ve streamlined our installation process to minimize disruption to your schedule. Most projects are completed in a single day, with your hot tub ready to use the same evening.
We assess your electrical panel capacity, measure the distance from panel to hot tub location, and review your spa’s electrical specifications. You receive a detailed written quote with no hidden fees.
We apply for your electrical permit, coordinate with ENMAX if service changes are needed, and schedule installation at your convenience.
Our electricians arrive with all materials and complete the wiring, disconnect switch installation, and GFCI breaker setup. We test every connection before powering up.
We schedule the city inspection (typically within 48 hours) and ensure everything passes on the first attempt. Once approved, your hot tub is officially ready for use.
We demonstrate how to test your GFCI breaker, explain the disconnect switch operation, and answer any questions about your new installation.
Most Calgary hot tub electrical installations are completed in a single day. Standard installations typically take 3-6 hours, while projects requiring panel upgrades may extend to two days. Our team arrives with all materials and permits pre-arranged so your hot tub is ready to use the same evening.

Unlike other Calgary electricians, we offer complete hot tub moving and removal services. This means you don’t need to coordinate multiple contractors or worry about timing electrical work around movers.
Moving a hot tub requires specialized equipment and careful handling. Our crews use professional spa dollies, straps, and when necessary, crane service for difficult access situations. Before the move, we safely disconnect all electrical connections. After positioning, we reconnect and test everything.
If you’re replacing an old hot tub or simply removing one from your property, we handle the complete process: electrical disconnection, physical removal, and disposal. We can also cap and secure existing wiring for future use or remove it entirely if you prefer.
Need both electrical and moving? We coordinate everything in a single visit whenever possible.
Hot tubs aren’t our only outdoor electrical specialty. We also install wiring for pools, saunas, outdoor kitchens, and landscape lighting. The same code requirements that govern hot tub wiring—GFCI protection, proper bonding, weatherproof connections—apply to all outdoor electrical installations near water.

Yes, all hot tub electrical installations in Calgary require a permit to comply with Alberta electrical safety regulations. We handle the entire permit process—application, fee payment, and inspection scheduling—so you don’t have to.
We conduct load calculations during your free consultation to determine if your panel has capacity for a hot tub. Many Calgary homes with 100-amp panels need an upgrade to 200-amp service, especially if you also have air conditioning, an electric vehicle charger, or electric heating. We’ll identify this upfront and include it in your quote if needed. For homes with older wiring, we also check for aluminum wiring concerns that may need addressing.
All hot tub wiring includes our workmanship warranty covering the electrical installation. We guarantee your installation passes city inspection, and we provide priority service if any issues arise after completion.
Most hot tubs require a 40-60 amp dedicated breaker, depending on the heater wattage and pump configuration. Your hot tub’s manufacturer specifications will indicate the exact requirements. We verify these specifications during our consultation and install the correct breaker size for your specific model.
Per Canadian Electrical Code requirements, the disconnect switch must be within sight of the hot tub and at least 1.5 meters (5 feet) away from the water. This allows users to shut off power quickly in an emergency while preventing accidental contact while in the tub.
Homeowners can obtain permits for electrical work on their own detached single-family homes they occupy. However, hot tub wiring involves high-amperage circuits, GFCI installation, and specific bonding requirements that are complex and potentially dangerous. Mistakes can result in failed inspections, voided insurance, or serious safety hazards. We strongly recommend hiring a licensed electrician for hot tub installations.
