MR.TANLINES · 11-01-2000, 05:45 AM

I am opening a 2900 sq foot store..Should I upgrade to a 400 amp service or a 600 amp service?I dont think im going to have any high pressure but I am going to have some high end beds..

MR TAN,What's more important is what will be in the 2900 sq. ft.We just build a 3000 sq. ft and I believe it has 600 amp service. We have 15 Tan America beds, 30 tons of AC, lots of lights.Anyway you can add up the requirements of each bed, add air, and then add another 100 amps and you should be fine. Also do you plan on upgrading anything in the future?Michael

Mike , you have 30 tons of air?Isnt that alot for 3000 sq. feet?I guess you can never have too much , but in my 1200 sq foot store I have 7 tons of A/C..And it does fine. I was just thinking the 10 tons was going to be fine with 2900..

I was tired of not having enough air at the stores. We have 90 tons of air in our 50 bed store ( 10,000 sq ft. ) This store has always felt good so I divided by 3. I also had an engineer look at the numbers. Paid him $1000.00 for him to tell me I was right.Michael

Keep in mind the part of the country your store is in. Alabama needs more A/C than New Jersy. It is going to be 85F today!------------------John Cole [IMG]http://www.hsv.net/wb/jcole/solarsoft.gif]
