Frequently Asked Questions
Which electric utility serves North Salem in Salem?

Do you cover the Highland and Grant area too?
Yes. North Salem is adjacent to Highland, Grant, Northgate, Englewood, and we work all of these neighborhoods regularly out of our Salem shop.
How much does hot tub wiring cost in North Salem?

Does a hot tub need a permit?
Yes. Oregon BCD requires an electrical permit and inspection for hot tub circuits and the GFCI disconnect. We handle permitting and inspection.
Where does the spa disconnect have to be mounted?
The GFCI disconnect must be in line-of-sight of the tub, at least 5 feet away (and not directly above the water). We pick a code-compliant, weather-rated location.
Why does my hot tub keep tripping the GFCI?
Most repeated trips are a failed heater element, a moisture-damaged contactor, or a degraded GFCI. We isolate the cause and replace the failed component rather than just resetting it.
