Quick answer
Yes. Most hot tubs require a dedicated 240V circuit and a GFCI disconnect installed by a licensed electrician.
The full answer
Plug-and-play 120V models exist, but they heat slowly and run fewer jets at once. Most full-size hot tubs need a dedicated 240V, 50 or 60 amp circuit, a GFCI breaker, and a disconnect within sight of the tub. Local code decides the exact distance and permit rules, so book the electrician early.

Related questions
- What do I need to prepare before my hot tub arrives? You need a level, solid base, a dedicated electrical circuit, and a clear path from the driveway to the final spot.
- Can a hot tub go on my deck? Sometimes, but only if the deck is engineered to carry the full weight of the tub, water and people.
- How long does hot tub delivery and setup take? Delivery and placement usually take 1–2 hours; the tub then needs 6–24 hours to fill and heat.
