What this does and does not do. It adds up figures you supply and figures published by named sources. It does not estimate installation, service or freight for you, because no manufacturer in our comparison table publishes those, and a plausible-looking invented number is worse than an empty field. Where a default is zero, that is a gap in your information, not a saving.
Commercial interest: Hyperbaric Service Pros sells and installs hyperbaric equipment, so we are one of the parties who would quote you the installation and service figures this page asks you to fill in. Get more than one quote.
Inputs and their basis
Selecting a model copies its manufacturer-published price into the purchase field below. For the 15 models with no published price, the field stays where you left it — enter your quote.
U.S. average residential retail price, 18.34 cents per kWh, June 2026. — U.S. EIA Electric Power Monthly, Table 5.3 — average residential price
CAIRE NewLife Intensity 10 (2–10 LPM) published power consumption, 590 W. A 5 LPM NewLife Elite is 350 W; a Respironics Millennium M10 is 600 W. Change this to your unit's published figure. — CAIRE — NewLife Intensity specification table
OxyNova 7 published electrical rating, 800 W single phase. This is the only chamber in our table that publishes a wattage. A '1/3 hp' compressor is roughly 250 W of shaft output, which is not the same as input draw — no manufacturer here publishes input draw for those units. — OxyNova — OxyNova 7 technical specifications
Not a manufacturer specification. Published protocols vary: 70 minutes at 1.4 ATA in one pilot study, 90 minutes at 2.5 ATA in another, two 45-minute periods in a third. Set this to your intended use. — no published figure; your input
Your assumption entirely. No published figure. Nothing on this site recommends a frequency. — no published figure; your input
Pre-filled from the published price of the model you select, where the manufacturer publishes one. Where it is not published, this stays at zero until you enter your quote. — no published figure; your input
No published figure for most models. One manufacturer publishes $300 shipping for a fabric tent. Enter your quoted amount — do not let this stay at zero for a hard shell. — Newtowne Hyperbarics — Tent product data sheet (PDF)
No manufacturer in our table publishes an installation price. Enter your quote. Ask what the scope excludes. — no published figure; your input
No published figure. Several hard shells in our table ask for a 110 V AC 20 A dedicated outlet; soft shells generally state a standard household outlet. Enter an electrician's quote. — no published figure; your input
No manufacturer in our table publishes an annual service cost or a consumables price list. This field stays at zero until you have a real quote. A zero here is a gap in your information, not a saving. — no published figure; your input
Five years is the comparison window this page uses. Change it freely. — no published figure; your input
JavaScript is not running, so the live total is unavailable. The worked example below is computed from the same documented defaults and is part of the page source.
Energy only, using the documented defaults: electricity at 0.1834 $/kWh (EIA, June 2026), concentrator 590 W (CAIRE NewLife Intensity 10), compressor 800 W (OxyNova 7), 60-minute sessions, 5 sessions per week, 5 years. This block is static HTML so the arithmetic is checkable without running anything.
Energy is usually the smallest of the five-year lines. Installation, electrical work and service are the large ones, and they are the ones nobody publishes.
What is deliberately not in this calculator
| Cost | Why there is no default |
|---|---|
| Consumables and spare parts | No manufacturer in our comparison table publishes a consumables price list. Ask a vendor for one and enter it in the annual service field. |
| Room modification and ventilation | Entirely site-specific. A published clinical measurement study found local underventilation at some sampling points in a chamber room and noted oxygen accumulation in such zones can increase fire risk — so this is a real cost, just not one we can guess. |
| Floor reinforcement | Hard shells in our table run from ≈800 lb to ≈2,100 lb published. Whether that needs structural work depends on your building. |
| Insurance and any facility requirement | Depends on jurisdiction and use. FDA recognises NFPA 99 and ASME PVHO-1 as consensus standards for this product code; a commercial installation may be held to them. |
| Resale value | No published market data we could verify. Anything we put here would be a guess with a dollar sign in front of it. |
| Staff time | Yours to value. FDA's August 2025 recommendations include ensuring the occupant is monitored and supervised for the duration of the session, which for a commercial operation is a labour line. |
