Swimming Pool Electrical Safety Inspections in Southwest Florida

In Florida, pools are used year-round — but seasonal residents tend to use them most heavily between November and April, while full-time residents often increase usage in the hotter summer months. Whether you’re a part-time or full-time homeowner, one thing remains the same: your pool’s safety depends on a functioning, code-compliant electrical system.

That’s why SWFL Electric provides annual swimming electrical inspections, designed to detect hidden hazards before they can cause injury, equipment failure, or costly damage.

SWFL Swimming Pool Electrical Inspections:

Our licensed electricians evaluate the full system to ensure:

• Proper bonding of all metallic parts (pool shell, ladder, railings, pumps, light niches, etc.)
• Effective grounding of electrical equipment and panels
• Safe and working lighting, pump motors, heaters, and automation systems
• No corrosion, overheating, or damage to wiring, terminals, or GFCI protection
• Functionality of automation and control systems (often ignored but critical)
• Compliance with NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) and Florida Building Code

Why Use a Licensed Florida Electrical Contractor?

The electrical system is the heart of your pool’s operation and safety. Bonding and grounding aren’t just technicalities — they’re life-saving protections. Only a state-licensed electrical contractor has the training, legal authority, and insurance to ensure your pool is:

• Safe for swimmers
• Protected against electrical shock
• Properly connected to your home’s electrical system
• Compliant with Florida Statutes and NEC Article 680

Unlicensed work or neglect of these systems can lead to:

• Stray current or electric shock drowning
• Code violations and insurance claim denials
• Equipment damage from electrical surges or floods

NFPA 70 – Article 680.26:
Requires all conductive pool components be bonded together and to the service ground to eliminate voltage differences that can cause shock.
