Pool Electrical & Automation in Mansfield

Modern pools run on electricity, and most pool companies are not electricians. We are. McEwan Pools is owner-operated by a licensed electrician, so the panel, the pump wiring, the automation and the lighting are all handled by one expert who is accountable for the result.

The difference

One licensed expert, not a hand-off

When a pool company hits the electrical, most have to stop and call in a separate electrician, or worse, leave it for the homeowner to sort out. That hand-off is where projects stall, wiring gets rushed and no one is sure who is responsible when something does not work.

Because we are owner-operated by a licensed electrician, the electrical is part of the job, not an afterthought. From the load center on your pad to the GFCIs, bonding, automation and lighting, it is diagnosed and done correctly the first time by one person who stands behind it.

Electrical questions

Pool electrical FAQs

Do most pool companies do their own electrical work?

No. Most pool companies are not licensed electricians, so they subcontract the electrical or leave it to the homeowner. That hand-off causes delays and finger pointing. McEwan Pools is owner-operated by a licensed electrician, so the pool work and the electrical are handled by one expert.

Why does pool equipment need a licensed electrician?

Pools mix water and electricity, so the wiring, bonding and GFCI protection have to be done to code for safety. Equipment-pad panels, variable speed pumps, automation and lighting all involve electrical work that should be done by someone licensed to do it.

Can you fix a pool automation system that stopped working?

Often, yes. Automation problems are usually electrical or control related, from a tripped circuit or failed relay to lost programming. We diagnose the panel, the wiring and the controls and get it talking to your equipment again.

Why does my pool breaker or GFCI keep tripping?

A breaker or GFCI that trips repeatedly is protecting you from a real fault, often a failing pump motor, water in a light fixture, a damaged wire or a grounding issue. It should be diagnosed by a licensed electrician rather than just reset. Call (817) 793-2977 and we will track down the cause.

The pool electrical other companies subcontract

If your pool involves wiring, panels, automation or lighting, you want it done once and done right. That is exactly what a licensed electrician who knows pools brings to the table.
