Beauty salons, aesthetics clinics and laser hair removal clinics running treatment rooms, IPL, laser, RF and body contouring devices.
Water cooled diode laser and IPL platforms drawing heavy load, including on standby between clients
Treatment rooms held at 24 degrees all day so clients are not cold on the couch
Autoclaves, wax pots and towel warmers left on from open to close
Couch heat pads, LED masks and RF handpieces all live at the same time when the clinic is full
Typical equipment loads across hair, beauty and personal care, with annual kWh and cost bands from published benchmarks.
| Equipment | kWh a year | Cost a year (est.) |
|---|---|---|
| Backwash and treatment hot water | 2,500–9,000 kWh | £625–£2,250 |
| Mirror, task and ceiling lighting | 2,500–7,000 kWh | £625–£1,750 |
| Hairdryers, straighteners and styling tools | 1,200–4,000 kWh | £300–£1,000 |
| Air conditioning and space heating | 2,000–15,000 kWh | £500–£3,750 |
| Sunbeds, laser and IPL platforms | 3,000–30,000 kWh | £750–£7,500 |
| Towel washing, drying and hot towel cabinets | 1,500–6,000 kWh | £375–£1,500 |
Power down laser and IPL platforms between blocks of appointments rather than leaving them cooling all day
Fit individual room thermostats and timers so empty rooms are not being heated to treatment temperature
Put wax pots and towel warmers on a timed circuit that dies at close, they are the classic overnight leak in a clinic
Use LED treatment and reception lighting on dimmers, clinic lighting is on for the whole trading day
Pull your meter numbers and contract end date off a recent bill before you renew, clinics that grew fast are often still on the tariff they signed as a single room
Illustrative example
Five styling chairs open six days a week
Dryers, hot water and lighting make energy the biggest overhead after rent and wages.
