Sauna Buying & Installation Guides

Sizing, installation, and care guides for sauna heaters and kits. More guides coming soon.

Sauna Sizing Calculator

Heater output is matched to room volume in cubic feet, not square footage. Enter your room dimensions below, plus any cold surface materials (glass, brick, or stone), and we'll calculate the heater size you need. Each square foot of cold surface adds 2 cubic feet to your total, since those materials pull heat from the room.

Room Volume 0 cubic ft
Cold Surface Adder 0 cubic ft
Total Room Volume 0 cubic ft
Recommended Heater Size 0 kW

Based on the industry-standard guideline of roughly 1 kW per 45–50 cubic feet of sauna volume. Always confirm against the "Recommended Room Size" spec on the heater's product page, and add 15–20% more capacity for outdoor saunas or poorly insulated rooms.

Traditional Sauna vs. Infrared Sauna vs. Red Light Therapy

Not sure which type of heat is right for you? Compare traditional (wood or electric) saunas, infrared saunas, and red light therapy side-by-side on health benefits, session length, and cost.

Which Wood Is Right for You?

Cedar, hemlock, aspen, and other sauna woods each perform differently on heat retention, aroma, durability, and price.

Installation Basics

Most electric heaters require a dedicated 240V circuit sized to the unit's amperage; check the spec table on each product page and confirm requirements with a licensed electrician before installation.

Every heater package we sell includes the heater, the required controls, and sauna stones -- never sold heater-only. The exact components for each model are listed in the Includes accordion on that product’s page.

Is shipping free on sauna heater packages?

Most heater packages ship free. Some items ship via freight instead, which is called out directly on the product page and in the cart -- check the shipping note on each product before ordering.

Heater output is matched to your room’s volume in cubic feet, not square footage. Use the Sauna Sizing Calculator above to get a recommended kW size based on your room dimensions and any cold surface materials.

What electrical requirements do sauna heaters have?
