Anyone get elec. done AFTER tub arrives?

[cmitch9999]

Hi
have had 2 electricans here this am.  I was hoping I could have them run the elec. to the outside disconnect and then finish the hook up after the tub arrives. They both would prefer to have the tub in place before they do the install.  Is it ok to have an empty tub with cover on it sit in the sun for a week or so if necessary waiting for the elec. hookup?  We are still a month away probably from getting the tub..we have the concrete to pour in the next few weekends if the weather cooperates.

What has been your experience, electric before tub arrives or after??
Thanks

Thats what I did with mine. Made sure the tub was in place. The electrician was a retired guy, so wasnt always busy. Said to call when we knew the tub was arriving. It came on a Fri. morning, that afternoon he had it wired, and we were in it that month.

My electrician came a day or two after the tub arrived.  You should have no problem with the empty tub for a week.  Just be sure to keep the cover on.

My tub sat for 10 days - under a covered patio - before my electric guy could come out. (I even sat in it dry some evenings, but that's another story... ) The morning he came I wiped down the tub interior with some windex to clean out any dust etc. It needed it as it was a bit dusty, but I think that was more from it coming from the warehouse.

The problem wasn't with the hook-up and fill  process - that went smoothly - it was the agony of waiting to use it that was the problem!!

Our guy said he would do it when the tub came.  Just to give him a call when we knew it was on its way and he would be there.  Well tub was to come on a Friday and we called him and he said fine he'd be there (this was on Monday) but Friday AM the tub delivery guys had truck problems and cancelled.  Well the electrician still came out and did all but the obvious hook up to the tub and said to call him when the tub was actually sitting on the pad.  That was the next Friday.  He came out and had it done in no time.  We were soaking that night.

Yep. Shouldn't be a problem. I had mine sit 3 days before the electrician came out. I filled it up the night before they came so the instant power was on that baby was heating. As mentioned be sure to keep the cover on (or leave it in the box if possible)

Its done both ways, depending on the desires of the elctrician and/or owner. Either way works fine.
