The Benefits of Using RAIL Technicians
A pool can change your life and in the best possible way.
But that’s only if it’s installed, serviced, and maintained by a licensed professional. Here in Texas, we have RAIL licenses to ensure all pool-related electrical work for residential properties is carried out safely and thoroughly, so that you can be reassured of total safety and quality.
Choosing a professional with a RAIL license is a non-negotiable here in the Lone Star State, so let’s find out why it’s so important.
What is a RAIL license in Texas?
All technicians who provide pool and spa servicing in Texas must carry a RAIL license. This stands for Residential Appliance Installer License and they must be issued by the TDLR, also known as the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
The RAIL license allows the pool technician to perform electrical work limited to only pool and spa-related electrical devices and systems, whether that be installation, repair, or maintenance of these components. By electrical work, we mean any work that includes heaters, pumps, lights, motors, control systems, blowers, and much more. Please note, the RAIL license is limited to residential work only.
Performing electrical work on a pool or spa without this RAIL license means that the company falls out of compliance with the state of Texas and could be fined, along with potentially carrying out dangerous work.
Why should pool and spa technicians hold a RAIL license?
To guarantee a safe and swimmable pool, you need to select a technician who holds a RAIL license. This ensures that the correct training has been received by the technician and that they are adhering to the highest standards of safety. This way, you’ll get the safest and most effective installations, repairs, and maintenance for your pool and spa equipment.
You can check if your chosen swimming pool technician is licensed by searching this database. Here at Riverbend Sandler Pools, we hold a RAIL license along with a host of other accreditations to ensure you get high-quality and fully compliant work at your property.
What are some other pool accreditations to look out for?
