Electric Bills

lakai · 07-25-2003, 03:46 PM

I was wondering what I could expect for my electrical bills, could you please if you dont mind tell me how many beds you have how many sessions you do on average a month and how much your bill is.

Thanks people

this varies from beds, what phase you have in your electical panels, alot to compare to, what the rate is from your electic provider. You should ask for this from the company that you are buying from, they can give you a breakdown for business plan purposes.

use 3phase. you will probably be charged by amperage. your distributor should be able to tell you about draw needed. call your electrical company and say that you are interested in purchasing a certain salon in your area (that has same amount of beds as you) and want to know about their usage. Or have a realtor buddy do it.

When I started out, I called my local electric provider and spoke with an engineer who took all my bed info and figured approximately what my monthly bill would be running at full capacity. It has never been quite as high as he figured but it was a good figure for budgeting.
