I am pretty handy with most projects and I am evaluating if doing the electric is one part of our pool budget where I can save cash by DIY. I have done home electrical work but not at this scale. I have 200 amp Eaton main panel in my garage which is on the opposite side of the home where the sub panel and pool equipment would be. Unfinished basement and the wall with the main panel in garage is unfinished, so wire fishing is simple.
Does this sound like a rough list of everything I need:
1. Add a 100 amp Eaton breaker in the main panel to feed the sub panel ($40 home depot)
2. Approximately 80' of 1-1-1-3 Aluminum SER cable ($220) or 3-3-3-5 Copper SER ($470)
3. Eaton outdoor 125 amp sub panel (Range from $50 to $100, so many to choose from, don't really know the differences)
4. Eaton breakers for 60 amp heat pump, 15 amp GFCI breakers for pool pump and LED light ($100 for all?)
5. Conduit for 1-1-1-3 or 3-3-3-5 wire coming out of brick and Liquitite conduit for power running to heat pump ($100 for conduit?)
6. Approx. 25' of Conduit and wire ran to LED pool light ($100)
At first glance, it looks like $600-$900 worth of electrical components depending on whether or not I run 80 feet of aluminum versus copper SER. Am I missing anything major here?
