Tanning Bed Repair
Tanning Bed Repair in Southfield, Michigan
Sun Systems and Service repairs tanning beds in Southfield on-site, every make and model, and has since 1990. Southfield is a few minutes from our Metro Detroit base, which puts it on nearly every Oakland County run we make. Call (248) 545-5577 any day from 9 to 6 with the make, model and what the bed is doing, and you are talking to the technician.
Telegraph, Northwestern and the mile roads
Southfield is an office city first. The towers along Northwestern Highway and around the Town Center fill up with commuters every weekday, and the salons that serve them sit in the plazas along Telegraph, Southfield Road, 12 Mile, 10 Mile and Evergreen, with a few more tucked into the ground floors of the office buildings themselves. Lathrup Village sits inside the city limits and shares the same roads. I-696, the Lodge and Telegraph all meet here, so there is no part of Southfield that is hard to reach.
Southfield salons run on a commuter clock. The rush is early morning and right after five, and a bed that is down at 5:30 pm on a Tuesday loses sessions that do not come back. Since Southfield is so close to base, it tends to be a quick add to whatever Oakland run is already planned, and the common parts for the beds we see most here are on the truck.
Office-park electrical and who owns the panel
Most of commercial Southfield went up between the 1960s and the 1980s. The buildings have capacity, but in a multi-tenant building the panel often belongs to the landlord and sits in a locked room two floors down. A bed at the end of a long run on a shared circuit sees lower voltage under load, lamps dim when a second bed starts, and ballasts run hot. When that is the picture, we meter the circuit and write down exactly what the bed needs so you can hand it to the building engineer instead of arguing about whose problem it is. Our electrical requirements guide has the details.
What we fix
- Bed will not turn on or will not start: power, timers, door and safety switches, control boards. Start with our troubleshooting checklist.
- Lamps dim, flickering or slow to brighten: lamp, starter or ballast, metered rather than guessed.
- Breaker tripping and electrical faults, including beds on shared building circuits.
- Overheating and shutdowns: fans, filters, ventilation and cooling.
- Timers and controls that drift, stick or fail.
- Lid shocks, hinges and struts on canopies that will not stay up.
- Acrylics that are cracked, hazed or yellowed.
- Relamping as a full set with the right lamps. See how often to relamp.
- Hybrid and red light beds: same electrical fundamentals, same tech. See red light equipment.

Call (248) 545-5577Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Southfield and Lathrup Village?
Yes. Southfield, Lathrup Village inside it, and the Telegraph, Northwestern, Southfield Road and 12 Mile corridors are all on our regular Oakland County route, a few minutes from our Metro Detroit base. Call (248) 545-5577 with the make, model and symptom.
My salon is in a Southfield office building. Can you work with building management on the electrical?
Yes. In the office towers and multi-tenant buildings along Northwestern and Telegraph, the panel often belongs to the building, not the tenant. We diagnose the bed, meter the circuit it is on, and give you and the building engineer a plain written note of what the bed needs so nobody argues about whose problem it is.
The bed starts dim and takes a long time to come up to full brightness. Is that normal?
A little warm-up is normal. A long, slow climb usually means aging lamps, a weak ballast or a cold room. Fluorescent tanning lamps lose output when the suite is cold, which we see a lot in Southfield plazas where the heat is turned down overnight. We check lamp hours, meter the ballasts and tell you which one it is.
Which cities near Southfield do you serve?
Lathrup Village, Farmington Hills, Beverly Hills, Franklin, Bingham Farms, Berkley and Birmingham in Oakland County, plus Redford Township and northwest Detroit across 8 Mile.
