Home Setup Guide: Space, Power and Placement for Your Chamber
Short answer: Chambers listed on our site vary widely in size, and vertical models need ceiling clearance. Measure the room, the doorway and the path the boxed chamber will take, then plan a level floor, a standard outlet, ventilation for the compressors and oxygen generator, and clear space away from ignition sources.

Plan the space
- Route. Measure doors, stairs, corners and elevators for the boxed chamber and, for hard-shell units, the delivery equipment.
- Room. Leave working space around the chamber for entry, the frame and equipment. Vertical models need ceiling clearance above their listed height.
- Floor. Use a level, dry floor that can carry the chamber, mattress and occupants. Hard-shell chambers are much heavier.
- Surface. A clean, smooth surface protects the fabric and makes cleaning easier.
Power and airflow
- Do not use extension cords or overloaded circuits. Ask an electrician if you are unsure.
- Compressors and the oxygen generator need airflow. Place the generator as the manual says, in a ventilated spot.
Fire safety placement
- Keep flames, sparks and heat sources such as heaters and sauna equipment well away.
- Keep a smoke alarm and fire extinguisher in the room.
- Do not store flammables nearby.
Comfort and convenience
- Keep water, a towel and a timer within reach of the entry.
- Think about light, temperature and sound in the room.
- For wheelchair access, see accessible chambers.
Frequently asked questions
How much space does a hyperbaric chamber need?
Sizes vary by model, so check the listed size. Measure your room and leave working space around the chamber.
Can I put a chamber in a bedroom or garage?
Either can work if it is clean, dry, ventilated and away from ignition sources, and if the outlet and floor suit the chamber. Follow the manual.
