Spas & Hot Tubs in Texas
Spas and hot tubs are often kept warmer than the pool they are attached to, so heater choice and controls matter. These Texas-licensed businesses mention spas or hot tubs in their business name.
Why choose this
- Familiar with spa equipment, controls and heaters.
- Can often handle both a pool and an attached spa.
- Spa specialists can match heater size and controls to a spa's higher target temperature.
Things to consider
- Some spa businesses mainly sell portable hot tubs; ask whether they do built-in installs.
- An attached spa may need more heat than the pool alone; make sure the heater suits both.
- Electrical work for portable spas may need a licensed electrician.
Questions to ask
- The contractor's TDLR license number (or TSBPE plumbing license for gas piping), so you can confirm it on the state license search.
- Who pulls the permit (and any separate electrical, plumbing or gas permit) and whether permit fees are included.
- The heater make, model and output, and how they sized it for your pool. Ask them to show the calculation.
- Warranty terms: manufacturer warranty on the equipment and the contractor's own warranty on labor.
- Whether the heater will serve the pool, the spa or both, and how quickly it heats the spa.
- Controls and automation for switching between pool and spa.

Frequently asked questions
Can solar heat my spa?
The U.S. Department of Energy notes that spa owners may use a solar system to heat both the pool and the spa, but usually use a backup heater to get the spa to a higher temperature.
Who can install a heater for a built-in spa?
In Texas, a TDLR Residential Appliance Installation Contractor may install and replace pool and spa heaters on the load side; new circuits need a licensed electrical contractor and new gas lines a licensed plumber. Confirm the license on the TDLR license search before signing, and ask whether they install the heater type you want.
