Septic systems are now a bit more complicated than some of the old “gravity septic systems” and electrical needs are a big consideration when considering a septic system or onsite wastewater system. Many septic systems require pumps, lights or treatment units that need an electrical circuit. Some regulations are now requiring effluent screens, and these types of septic systems come with alarms in the event of a backup to alert homeowners to a clog. For these types of systems, you need an electrician who understands septic systems and the laws and codes that apply specifically to this unique electrical need and this should only be a licensed electrician as well! Especially as it relates to electrical needs for septic systems, we are uniquely qualified as we are a division of A Advanced Septic and we understand the electrical component to septic systems. Please consider these items as it relates to the electrical component to your septic system:
- Outdoor electrical: Much of the electrical components for your septic system are located outside. Wiring and electrical components will need that considered carefully as it relates to your septic system.
- Weather: Here in the Pacific Northwest, we all know about weather – cold and the never ending rain can wreak havoc on an unprotected septic electrical system.
- Capacity: Your electrician needs to understand the pump and electrical needs for your septic system. This is critical to a properly running septic system.
