It depends! Difficulty varies depend on the size and model. Our smaller indoor and infrared models can typically be set up in just a few hours with moderate DIY experience. For larger or more complex builds, we recommend having someone with builder-level experience on hand. Any model with a traditional sauna heater such as a Harvia or Huum heater requires a licensed electrician to safely install the electrical components. Regardless of the model, each sauna comes with detailed, step-by-step instructions to help guide you through the process.

Always have a qualified, licensed electrician install your sauna heaters electrical components to ensure safety and to validate your sauna and heater’s warranty. Avoid placing any combustible items on or near your heater, including towels, essential oils, etc. as they can cause a fire hazard. Never use a sauna while intoxicated or under the influence of any substance. Ensure children are supervised at all times, and never touch heating elements directly. Always follow the sauna’s and heater’s operating instructions.

Most of our traditional saunas require a dedicated 220V circuit and must be hard-wired to the electrical box. For example, a 4.5kW or 6.0kW heater requires a 30-amp breaker with 10/2 wire, while an 8.0kW heater requires a 40-amp breaker with 8/2 wire.

Our infrared saunas, such as the 1 and 2-person models, typically operate on a standard 120V household outlet with a 15-amp circuit.

Please check the specific electrical requirements for your chosen model to ensure proper installation. It’s essential to consult a licensed electrician to ensure compliance with local electrical codes and to guarantee safe operation.

Traditional or Finnish saunas use a heating element, such as an electric or wood burning stove, to create a high-heat environment between 150°F to 230°F. They offer a classic sauna experience with intense heat and a dry atmosphere. However a steam room environment can also be created by progressively pouring water onto a heater’s rocks.

Infrared saunas use infrared light to heat your body directly at lower temperatures (120°F to 150°F), offering a deeper tissue penetration and a gentler, more focused sweat experience.

Hybrid saunas combine traditional and infrared heating methods, giving you the option to enjoy both experiences in one sauna.

To find the perfect sauna, start by considering your location—whether you want it indoors or outdoors as some saunas are only compatible for indoor use. Next, consider your budget, available space, and the sauna type that suits your needs, whether it's traditional, infrared, or hybrid. Finally, consider the aesthetic of the sauna to ensure it complements your space and style.

Operating a sauna is very affordable. Under normal use, the costs are minimal—similar to running a clothes dryer or electric oven. Many of our saunas use efficient 220-volt electricity and draw less than 30 amps of power. Since the sauna only runs when you’re using it, you’ll typically only need to heat it up an hour before your session and turn it off afterward. On average, some models cost just $0.10 to $0.15 per hour, totaling less than $10 a month, even with daily use.

We offer flexible financing through Affirm and Synchrony, making it easier and more affordable to own a sauna. Simply select your preferred option at checkout and fill in a few details for an instant decision. Choose a monthly payment plan that works best for you, and rest assured you’ll never pay more than what’s agreed upon upfront.
