Tanning Salon Electrical Costs?

Question

i am getting ready to open up a tanning salon and my buisness plan requires that i know about how much electricity will cost me every month. I am going to have 5 beds that each take 220V plug. If any one could help me that would be great.

Answer 1

I have done the math on these beds many times.

Calculate the max wattage per bed=
then divide by 1000 to give your kilowatt/hr=
then multiply that by 5=
figure 6 hrs per day 6 days a week=
multiply that by 4=
that will give you the total KWHrs per month

Then call the electric company and see what kind of rate they can give you. Most likely you can get a bulk/volume discount.

Also, some electric companies will actually send someone out to help you in your calculations and see if there is a way to save electricity.
