A new pool or hot tub
Dedicated circuit, a disconnect within sight, GFCI protection and bonding of metal parts: it’s all planned before backfill and decking. We tell you where to run the cable and where to put the equipment.
Hot tub, pool and pool heat pump hookups in Sherbrooke

Your situation
The cases we see most often, and what we do.
A pool heat pump to connect
A dedicated line based on the unit’s nameplate, a disconnect beside it, and a check of the panel’s capacity.
A panel that is already loaded
Hot tub, heat pump, EV charger and range add up. The load calculation tells whether it all fits, or whether you need a sub-panel or a 200 A upgrade.
My installer asks for an electrician
That’s the rule in Quebec: the hookup is done by an electrical contractor. We coordinate with the installer to come at the right time, before backfill or paving.

Our clients talk about it
« Ils sont venus faire le filage de ma pompe et de ma thermopompe de piscine. J’ai été impressionné par leur rapidité d’intervention. Travail propre, professionnel et efficace. »« Super service de William. Il répond rapidement aux demandes et prend le temps de bien expliquer les choix aux clients. Ils se sont présenté à l’heure déterminée et le résultat du travail est clean. Ils ont pris le temps de tout tester avant de partir. Sa plate-forme d’envoi de photo pour estimation et facturation est super simple d’utilisation aussi. Bref, je recommande assurément. »Frequently asked questions
Do I need an electrician to connect a pool heat pump?
Yes. In Quebec, electrical work must be done by an electrical contractor holding an RBQ licence. We handle the circuit, the protection and the connections.
Can my panel handle a hot tub and a heat pump?
It depends on its amperage and existing loads. Send us a photo of the panel and the equipment nameplates and we’ll tell you whether an upgrade is needed.
What is bonding?
A conductor that ties together the metal parts around the water so there is no dangerous voltage difference. It is required, and invisible once the work is done.
When should I bring in the electrician?
Before the pool or hot tub goes in, to plan the wiring and equipment locations, and before the deck or paving for the trench.
Is the estimate free?
Yes, and you get it within 24 hours. Describe the project by phone, by text or online, with a few photos if you can.
