Plus you are looking at the purchase of at least 1 big VHR $25,000 to $30,000. So in addition to the purchase price of the salon you are looking at spending between 40and 50K. If you factor those numbers in with the purchase and it still seems to be a good deal go for it.

Actually, the current going price for AC is about $2,000 per ton, and I think this is somewhat low end, depending on your market and location. We did 600AMPS, fully installed, including the installation to all rooms for about $15,000. The cost to upgrade from 200AMPS to 400AMPS, if you do not need the installation to the rooms from the panels, should be somewhere in the $5,000 Range.
