have 10 units, how much power is that?

You can wire with lighting for the room, but it is recommended to have Whisper Air Repair on a separate switch for

extended operation, without the light.

My contractor mentioned a service switch, what is that?

A service switch would be installed between the electrical panel and the device so that the unit can be shut off to be

serviced. This can also be addressed using a lockout tagout breaker. Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well

as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
