-
Read the manual that came with your tanning bed to learn the voltage your new tanning bed uses. Most tanning beds are 120 or 220 volts.
-
Determine whether your home's electrical outlet will handle the tanning bed. If your tanning bed runs on 120 volts, then chances are your tanning bed will work in a standard electrical outlet. Some larger tanning beds require 220 volts.
-
Contact an electrician if your tanning bed uses 220 volts. In this case, you will need to have a new outlet installed.
-
Locate an electrical outlet that can be used exclusively for the tanning bed. To prevent electrical overloads, it is best to have one outlet dedicated solely to your tanning bed.
-
Consider installing a buck-booster to lower or raise the voltage used in your tanning bed. Contact the company you purchased the tanning bed from to determine whether or not a buck-booster is needed.
