A pre-purchase checklist for space, floor, clearances, electrical work, delivery, and assembly.
Plan before the freight arrives
Measure the final location, access route and assembly area. Confirm floor suitability, ventilation/clearance guidance, dedicated electrical service, and whether the unit is rated for the intended environment.
Read specifications as a system
Dimensions, capacity, materials, electrical load, controls, warranty and delivery requirements interact. A model that looks ideal on features can become a poor fit if the circuit or footprint is wrong.
Document what you verify
Save the current product page, manual, warranty and order details for the exact configuration. Manufacturer specifications can change over time.

Measure the finished location, the route from the delivery point, doorways, stairs and turns. Then compare those measurements with the exact model documentation. Leave room for the clearances and service access specified by the manufacturer rather than designing around the exterior footprint alone.
Electrical work comes before assembly
Dedicated circuit requirements vary by model. Some compact infrared cabins can use dedicated 120V service while larger or higher draw cabins may require 240V or a higher amperage circuit. Have a qualified electrician follow the exact manual and local code. Extension cords, adapters and improvised circuits are a poor substitute for the specified installation.
