How can I estimate electricity costs?!

[rachaelb]

hi,
I have found a shop I am looking at taking on as a 3 room salon with probably 2 nail bars. I have done all the figures but the one I am struggling with is electricity, all the companies wan't give me a quote until I am in. Can anyone give me a rough idea what I would be looking at!?

Thank you

Hi Rachael,

Its pretty much impossible to know how much electricity your going to use because an estimate is still only a guess!! I would get in and set up and keep a close eye on your usage by taking 2 meter readings a week apart, work out how many units you have used in that week then times them units by your unit price, this will give you a money cost for the week THEN times that by 4 and that gives you the figure for the month!!! OR gather this inormation and give your supplier a call..... they will do the maths for you. hth xxx
