LICENSED BY THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATION
In Texas, anyone performing electrical work on swimming pools or spas must hold a Residential Appliance Installer's License (RAIL). This license is required for installing, servicing, or replacing electrical components, including pumps, underwater lights, motors, and heaters, to ensure compliance with state regulations and safety standards.
However, not all pool installers are licensed to perform electrical work. It’s important to verify that your pool contractor holds the proper credentials to handle electrical installations safely and legally. Choosing a licensed professional protects you from potential safety hazards and ensures the job is done right the first time.
