We are considering putting a hot tub on our lanai but someone told us we would not be allowed to run a 220 voltage line onto our lanai. It would be too close to the fans on our lanai, or something like that.

Do any of you know anything about this issue? Thanks in advance for your answers.
The info you got was wrong. We have a 240 volt hot tub on the lanai, and actually moved it, so we did this twice. NOW, a word of caution, you need 2 permits, one for the spa, and one for the electrical supply.
The first permit will review the location, the need for tempered glass on all doors, sliders, and windows within so many feet of the spa. The second will cover the specialized grounding of the spa, the GFCI. the disconnect switch, etc. Don't skip on the permits, we thought the spa installer got all of these, and found out later (when we went to move it) that they did not...
Hope this helps, and send me a PM with you phone number if you would like to discuss further.
