Hi All,
We've done some electrical in the past. Wired our outdoor kitchen, added an electric heater to our porch, etc.
We are pretty new to pool stuff. We currently have a next to house patio that they thought ahead on and ran 1" conduit under. We also have a shed that's wired for lights and a chicken coop heater. Separate 1" conduit there too that's also been run under patio, but the walkway portion.
Got a quote for doing our inground pool. They quoted adding a 100 amp sub panel right near the pool pump which will be 10' from the shed. This requires 1 1/4" conduit, which we don't have run anywhere, which adds $1000 to the bill, on top of the $5400 for permit, subpanel work, and if our current under patio conduit had been correct size.
I think if it were just the pump we could do 50 amp panel and maybe talk them into working within the shed? But potential to add an electric heater someday is what's calling for 100 amp.
Any ways to get creative here?! Thanks for reading.
