Buying Wellness Equipment: Installation, Warranty and Support
What to ask before buying wellness equipment for a business: total cost, installation, training, spare parts and who picks up the phone when something needs attention.
- The price on the quote is the start of the cost, not the end. Ask about delivery, installation and training.
- Insist on written warranty terms and a named service contact.
- Check electrical requirements for your site before you order.
- A partner who will plan the space with you is worth more than a small discount.

Look at the total picture
The sticker price is only part of the story. Delivery, taxes, installation, electrical work and training all add up. Ask for these to be itemised in one quote, and have your accountant confirm the taxes that apply to your business.
Specifications and power
Ask for a spec sheet for every product. It should list dimensions, weight, power, placement needs and what is included. Confirm voltage and frequency (for example 220 V / 50 Hz), plug types and circuit needs. For saunas, see our size, power and installation guide, and for oxygen chambers, setting up a hyperbaric oxygen room safely.
Warranty: read the small print
A warranty is only as good as the service behind it. Ask:
Get the warranty, the service contact and the response-time promise in the same document as your quote.
Installation and training
Cabins, plunges and chambers need proper installation, and your team needs to know how to run and clean them. Ask who installs, how long it takes, what the site must have ready, and what training is included. Plan a short, written maintenance schedule from day one. For plunge-specific advice, see water care and chiller maintenance.
Red flags when comparing quotes
Quotes can look similar and hide very different things. Watch for these warning signs.
A good supplier welcomes these questions. If you would like to see how we answer them, start from our Recover & Restore page or browse the catalogue.
Delivery day and handover
Delivery day should be boring. Have a named person on site, a clear unloading route and the electrical supply tested and ready. Inspect packages for damage before signing, and photograph anything unusual.
At handover, ask for a walk-through of each device, the manuals, warranty documents, cleaning instructions and a contact for service. Run each machine once before the installer leaves. This is also a good time to schedule staff training.
What to ask for each equipment type
Ask for a written service plan that lists response times and escalation steps. Pin it to the staff room wall.
Working with a partner who plans with you
The best partners will look at your floor plan, suggest the right combination of equipment and stay in touch after delivery. That is how we try to work. Start with the Recover & Restore solutions or our combos, and read how to start a recovery lounge for the business context. You can also browse the full catalogue before talking to us.
