Electrical
Chillers often need a dedicated circuit and GFCI protection.
Base and drainage
Level base and a plan to drain and refill the tub.
Shade and enclosure
Outdoor units last longer under shade and with a simple enclosure.
Packages
Cold plunge with sauna, deck work and lighting.
Pricing
Installation priced by site work, electrical and base, separate from the unit.
Getting started
Partner with a local sauna or cold plunge retailer that needs installers.
Common mistakes
Ignoring deck load, no dedicated circuit and no drainage plan.
Example
An electrician partnered with a wellness equipment store. Every cold plunge sold came with an install referral, and the jobs often included a sauna circuit too.
Site visit checklist
Location and access, floor or deck load, distance to the electrical panel, drainage path and shade. Photos of each item make the quote accurate.
What to track
Referrals from retailers, installs per month and how many include a sauna or deck add-on.
Handling the price question
Separate the unit price from the installation. Customers who bought the unit online understand better when site work, power and base are listed one by one.

Frequently asked questions
