Harvia Electric Sauna Heaters

Multiply the room's inside length, width and height in feet, then find the output whose range covers that number in Harvia's table for the family you like. Add about 3.9 cubic feet for each square foot of uninsulated glass, tile or brick, and multiply a solid log room by 1.5. Also check the minimum room height, which is 75 inches on most models.

They tell you where the controls are, and the convention changes by family. On the KIP, B means the timer and thermostat are built in and W means the heater needs a separate Xenio CX170. On the Cilindro, no letter means built in and E means a separate control. Spirit and Virta E models, Virta Combi SA models and Club G models all need a separate Harvia control.

The KIP45B, KIP60B and KIP80B, the plain Cilindro PC60, PC80 and PC90, The Wall SW60 and SW80, and the Vega Compact 1900 and 3500. Each carries its timer and thermostat on the heater, so there's no wall control to buy or wire. Every other Harvia electric heater on this page runs from a separate Xenio or Fenix control, which also brings a start timer and, on WiFi models, the app.

Harvia's manuals for these heaters say not to connect the heater through a GFCI, or ground fault, breaker. Local code may require GFCI protection anyway, particularly for an outdoor sauna or a wet location, and where the two conflict your inspector decides. Raise it with your electrician before the rough-in, while the wiring is still open, rather than at inspection.

Yes. Every Harvia electric heater here is hardwired on a dedicated circuit of its own, or two or more on the largest models such as the Virta Pro. The manuals call for a licensed or qualified electrician. Harvia publishes rated amperage and minimum wire size, not a breaker size, so the electrician sizes the breaker to your local code. Harvia's warranty terms also ask for proof of professional installation, so keep the invoice with your receipt.

Not with a bare heater. Stones are required and are added separately, charged per box at checkout because they're heavy. A Harvia heater package includes the stones its manual calls for. The count depends on the heater, from about one box on a KIP to five or six on a Cilindro, and the Spirit takes rounded R-991 stone rather than the split-face stone most models use.

They're separate products. U1 in the part number means 240V single phase, which most homes have, and U3 means 208V three phase, common in commercial buildings. A three phase heater won't run on an ordinary house supply, so confirm what your panel has before ordering. On the Club the supply also changes the output, for example 10 kW at 240V against 9.8 kW at 208V.

A package puts the heater, its stones and any control it needs on one order, priced at the parts added together. It suits a new room, because the pairing is already done. Buy the heater alone if you already have stones or a compatible control, or you're replacing a heater like for like and the old control's rating still covers the new one at your supply.

You get free shipping on most orders to the contiguous 48 states. Most Harvia electric heaters travel by parcel carrier, with no delivery appointment to arrange. A few heavier models, such as the Virta Combi and Virta Pro, ship by freight to the curb on an appointment. Stones added to a bare heater ship separately and are charged per box at checkout. Each heater's page says how it travels.

Yes. As a factory-authorized dealer, we sell each heater with its manufacturer's warranty, on the terms Harvia's own policy sets out. The terms are on our Harvia warranty page, and they ask for proof that a licensed electrician installed the heater.
