Happy Thanksgiving Eve!
Looking for a recommendation on an electrician who either specializes in or has experience installing Hot Tubs. We are in Holly Springs. Thanks in advance!

Any licensed electrician will correctly wire your hot tub.
Most require a 50 Amp GFI circuit.
MAKE SURE A PERMIT IS TAKEN AND THE JOB INSPECTED
Pay the electrician 90% when the job is done and the other 10% after the inspection is complete.
If the electrician offers to do the work cheaper but without permit/inspections. find another electrician.

I wish that were true. I have spoken to a few and based on the requirements from Fuquay-Varina the few I have spoken to are not able to wire (it's because of the grounding requirements which is either a grounding ring or drilling into the slab and grounding on the rebar or wiring). I have the permits and everything already but I did Google a few pool/hot tub places I just wanted to see if anyone had personal experience.
Thanks for the input!

Diverse Electric did my house, then wired in a pool as well. I'm sure a hot tub would be a breeze for them. All clean wiring proper gauges and nice and neat.

Sorry to hear that, I was an Electrical contractor for 30 years and grounding rings were done all the time. What has happened to todays contractors?
