We had a fantastic experience with Santella. Tony came to our house and was incredibly knowledgable, professional, and friendly. He not only knew exactly what to do, he also consulted me for decisions about how to position all my new fixtures and outlets. As a person who really cares about the details and aesthetic, I appreciated that more than I can say. A few of our projects were tricky due to our house layout, especially adding outdoor outlets, but Tony worked hard to make it all work and look good. I'm very pleased with our updated lighting/power and will definitely ask for him again next time we call Santella!

This we our first time using Santella Electric at our new home. The office personnel were responsive and friendly, and we loved the electrician who came to troubleshoot and do the repairs we need. Courteous, friendly, respectful and resolved the problem easily. He took the time to explain the problem so I could understand it.

Johan was on time, professional & explained all the work he did. Thank goodness, he had the circuit breaker’s we needed + the updated GCFI outlet for the kitchen. Now, my Mom can use her stove, oven, washer & dryer, again. SO grateful.

Electrical Work for Hot Tubs

There are two types of electrical connections that hot tubs run on, 110V/15AMPS and 220V/50AMPS. Hot tubs that run on 110V/15AMPS are referred to as “plug and play” hot tubs. Hot tubs that run on 220V/50AMPS are referred to as “hard wired” hot tubs. Hard wired hot tubs are generally designed to operate best because all of the equipment can run simultaneously, and they usually feature a larger heater which can heat the water much faster than plug and play hot tubs. Hot tubs require higher amperage circuits if they have multiple jets pumps or multiple heaters. It is important when installing a hot tub to work with a licensed electrician to ensure that all electrical connections are done correctly and are in compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) as well as any local and state electrical codes.

Electrical Work for Pools

Electrical work, in general, can be dangerous, but electrical work around pools can be especially dangerous as electrical safety is more important in places where water is involved. Pool electrical work that is done incorrectly can put both the person installing the electrical work at risk as well as put anyone using the pool at risk. Similar to most other parts of the home, swimming pools require electricity. Elements such as lights, pumps, automatic pool covers, some cleaning equipment and more require power, which means electricity and electrical work is needed. Bonding and grounding are two essential electrical safety tasks that need to be performed on pools. Without proper bonding and grounding you run the risk of electric shock when using your pool.

Grounding

Grounding gives electricity a low-resistance path that leads directly to the earth. This allows electricity to dissipate and prevents electrical shock. Grounding is generally done using copper wiring.

Bonding

Bonding, also known as “equipotential bonding”, equalizes the differences in voltage between different parts of your pool equipment. By properly bonding your pool equipment, you reduce the risk of electrical shock. Bonding also reduces how much charge accumulates in your pool’s electrical equipment over time. Even with grounding, equipment such as your pool’s power line can build up a higher charge than other pieces over time. If you happen to touch one piece of equipment with a high charge and one with a lower charge, the electricity from the higher charged piece of equipment will flow through you, looking for the ground. Bonding your equipment equalizes that voltage throughout the different pieces of equipment.
