How much does a above ground pool cost to wire?
It is very important to have a licensed professional wire the filter receptacle and properly ground and bond the pool. The cost for wiring an above ground swimming pool varies depending on the length of the run. The material cost for a pool 60' away from the electrical panel is approximately $450.00 which includes a time clock. The labor for the job can also vary depending upon how clear the path is from the electrical panel to the pool filter. I would estimate the labor cost to be between $725 and $1000. So material and labor would be around $1200.00. The other thing to consider would be the cost of the permit and that will vary from $50 to $100.
