How does delivery work?
How does delivery work?
Free shipping to the contiguous 48 states on every Saunum heater, AirSolo and AirIQ control, and on any order above our free shipping threshold. A smaller accessory ordered below the threshold carries a flat charge, shown at checkout before you pay.
Ships from Wheeling, Illinois. We do not ship Saunum to Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico.
Heaters come by freight. The Air, Air L and Air Perfect ship palletized. The carrier calls to book a window, someone has to sign, and the delivery is curbside rather than inside, so plan for two people to carry it in.
Smaller items come by parcel. The AirSolo, the AirIQ control, stones and safety rails travel by ground parcel with no appointment, and they can arrive on a different day from the heater.
Stones ship in their own boxes. 33 pounds each: 4 boxes for an Air or Air Perfect, 6 for an Air L. Stones added from a Saunum heater's page ship free with that heater.
When it ships. The estimate on each product page is the distributor's usual dispatch time for stocked items. We confirm stock with the distributor when you order, and if your model is out of stock we tell you the new date before anything ships. Working to a deadline? Ask us first.
If it arrives damaged. Note it on the delivery paperwork, photograph the carton and the contents, and report it within 48 hours of delivery, before the heater is installed. Saunum's warranty excludes transport damage. Refuse a punctured or crushed pallet and call us while the driver is there.
Not included: the electrical work. A certified electrician hardwires the heater to 240 V through the AirIQ control unit, and the AirSolo to 120 V.
What does the warranty cover?
What does the warranty cover?
Heaters: 2 years in a private sauna. The Air, Air L and Air Perfect, from your purchase date. The manual that ships with the heater gives no commercial term, so ask us before buying for a gym, spa or rental.
AutoLeil. 2 years in a private sauna, labor excluded.
AirSolo and AirIQ. 2 years in a home sauna and 1 year in a commercial or public one. The AirSolo cover includes labor and spare parts. The AirIQ cover is parts, for the first installation and the original purchaser.
Excluded on the heaters. Labor, the heating elements and the salt spheres, plus wear, transport damage, misuse, improper installation, repairs outside Saunum's repair partners, and stones or salt spheres Saunum does not recommend.
Two conditions decide every claim. A completed installation report goes in with the claim, and the product must have been connected by a qualified electrician. The report form is in the back of the manual, so keep a copy.
Delivery damage. Report it within 48 hours of delivery, with photographs and before installing, because transport damage is not a warranty matter.
Who handles it. Claims go to Saunum's US technical support at Bathing Brands, and we take them there for you. Call (888) 500-5675 with your order number, model, serial number and photographs.
What if I need to return it?
What if I need to return it?
30 days from purchase. On a Saunum heater, AirSolo, AirIQ control or accessory that is new, uninstalled and resalable, in the original packaging with all parts. We handle the return, so you do not contact Saunum or the distributor.
Installed means final. A heater that has been wired in, switched on or loaded with stones cannot go back, and neither can an AirIQ or AirSolo that has been wired in, or an accessory that has been fitted.
What it costs. Full credit for the product, less a repackaging fee of 20 to 50 dollars depending on the item. There is no percentage restocking fee on a standard return.
Who pays the freight. You do on a change of mind. We cover it when the cause is shipping damage or our error. We never deduct the cost of free shipping from your refund, but shipping you paid at checkout is not refunded on a change of mind return.
Damaged on arrival. Note it on the delivery receipt before signing, photograph it, and report it within 48 hours of delivery, before the product is installed.
Stones. Not returnable once a box is opened, since stone is sold by weight.
Cancelling before it ships. No fee before we send the order to the distributor. After that an administrative fee of up to 5 percent may apply, and we waive it when we are not charged ourselves.
To start a return. Call (888) 500-5675 for a Return Authorization number before anything ships back. Refunds go to the original payment method within 7 business days of the return being received and inspected.

Heater, control and stone
The Saunum Air L 13 sauna heater package for a large family sauna of 424 to 565 cubic feet
Saunum's Air L 13 works only with the AirIQ control and leaves the factory with no stone. This listing gathers all of it into one order: the 12,900 W heater in the basket you choose, the AirIQ Wi-Fi control with the Saunum app, and six boxes of stone.
It is the middle Air L, for a room past the Air L 10's reach and short of the Air L 15's. The other sizes and families are in our Saunum heater packages.
Room size
424 to 565 cu ft
12 to 16 cubic meters: a large family sauna.
Nothing left to source
Heater, AirIQ, 198 lb of stone
Six boxes, enough for either basket, in the same order as the control it needs.
Wired through the AirIQ
Rated to 15.2 kW
The AirIQ power unit's rating in Saunum's current US manual, above this heater's 12,900 W.
Watch
An Air L install, checked step by step by Saunum
Saunum's short checklist film for the Air and Air L: element covers, flue cap, sensor position, a heating test, the salt tray, loading the baskets and safety distances.
Worth sending to your electrician; the manual in the carton is the final word.
In the package
What arrives in the Saunum Air L 13 package
The basket is the one choice you make: closed black steel or open stainless steel, at the same price. The control, the salt and the stone are matched to the heater for you.
- The Air L 13 heaterSaunum's 12,900 W heater with its fan built in. The carton holds the telescopic flue and ceiling cap, the grilles, the room temperature sensor, the salt spheres and the manual with the installation report.
- The AirIQ Wi-Fi control and the Saunum appA touch panel for a wall outside the sauna, the power unit that switches the heater, and the cables. Pair the panel with the Saunum app over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and, from the couch, you can set and monitor the temperature, switch on the fan and choose its speed, check the heater's status and schedule a session. The phone is yours, not part of the package. Wi-Fi is optional: choose "Set up offline" at the Wi-Fi step (older panels say "Skip").
- Seven Himalayan salt spheresPacked in the heater carton, they sit in sockets behind the outlet grille, right in the fan's airflow. Using them is optional. When they wear down, a Saunum Himalayan salt sphere set refills the tray.
- Six boxes of stoneSaunum's rounded olivine diabase in 2 to 4 inch pieces, 33 lb a box: 198 lb for a basket that takes about 180 lb closed or about 190 lb open.
Why a package
Why the Saunum Air L 13 is worth ordering as a package
An Air L 13 on its own is not ready to use: it runs only on the AirIQ, and Saunum's manual calls for about 180 to 190 pounds of stone in the basket. One order settles both before install day.
- One checkout, one order to followOne order number covers heater, control and stone, though they travel by different carriers.
- The control the heater was built forSaunum designs the Air L to run only with the AirIQ and never straight from the mains, and the AirIQ power unit handles all 12,900 W.
- Stone counted for the basketSix boxes cover either basket with pounds to spare, so you neither come up short nor guess at a box count.
- Nothing missing when the electrician arrivesThe supply is wired through the AirIQ power unit, so having it in the same order keeps the wiring visit from waiting on a part.
- The same total as the partsThe price is the heater, the AirIQ and six boxes at Saunum's advertised prices, added together, with no compare-at figure. Building the order piece by piece gives the same sum.
Add-ons
Add-ons that suit the Saunum Air L 13 package
Five Saunum extras fit an Air L 13. The safety rail sits in the buy box; the others join the cart from their own pages.
Still yours to arrange
- A supply cableSaunum supplies none; your electrician brings and runs it
- A licensed electricianWires the heater and the AirIQ, then completes the installation report the warranty asks for
Worth adding
- Saunum Air L safety railBentwood birch and steel, clipped around the top of the basket. Saunum's manual strongly recommends a rail to reduce the risk of touching the hot heater, and asks that children stay at least 40 inches back while the fan runs
- Saunum Air deflectorA black steel guide that hooks onto the low outlet and steers the warm air away from the feet of whoever sits nearest the heater
- Saunum AutoLeilPuts water on the stones for you, to a humidity level or on a timer. It needs a pipe to the stones (Saunum's pre-bent pipe is its own item), a water supply and current AirIQ software; we confirm the connection before it ships
- Saunum AirIQ fan buttonA wired button by the bench that lets you start or stop the fan without leaving the room
- Saunum sauna aroma oil setA 10 mL eucalyptus, grapefruit or sweet orange oil, packed with a dropper and a ceramic aroma bowl; Saunum's product sheet puts the bowl in one salt sphere socket. To scent the ladle water, the heater manual allows only fragrance made for saunas
Living with it
A session with the Saunum Air L 13 package, from phone to bench
An ordinary evening with the three parts, as Saunum's manuals describe it.
- Set the timeGive the AirIQ a ready-by time or a weekly schedule, on the panel or in the app. Allow 45 to 90 minutes of warm up in an insulated room with a correctly sized heater.
- The door checkRemote and scheduled starts both check that the door is closed. The Air L carton and the AirIQ box hold no door sensor, so we confirm per order whether your setup needs one.
- Fan off, then onThe manual says to keep the fan off while the room heats and switch it on just before you go in, starting at the lowest speed. The AirIQ may also start it by itself to protect the room from overheating, so never leave it running unattended.
- SteamLadle on hot water, 6 to 7 fl oz a time. Fragrance goes in that water, and only one made for saunas.
- Once a yearRestack the stones and look over the salt spheres, replacing worn or broken ones. Saunum's AirSolo manual gives the test, a diameter down by more than half, and a Saunum Himalayan salt sphere set refills the tray.
Sizing
Is the Saunum Air L 13 package your size?
Saunum rates the Air L 13 for 424 to 565 cubic feet of effective volume, or 12 to 16 cubic meters, under a ceiling at least 73 inches high.
| Saunum Air L 10 package | Saunum Air L 13 packageYou are here | Saunum Air L 15 package | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rated room | 283 to 494 cu ft | 424 to 565 cu ft | 530 to 812 cu ft |
| The pick for | 283 to just under 424 | 424 to just under 530 | From 530 cu ft |
| Heater | 9,900 W | 12,900 W | 15,000 W |
| Draw at 240 V | 41.25 A | 53.75 A | 62.50 A |
Effective volume is length times width times height in feet, one and a half times that for uninsulated log walls, plus 3.0 cubic feet for each square foot of glass, tile or stone. Where two sizes are both rated, Saunum says take the larger.
A family room, worked through
Say 8.5 by 8 feet with a 7 foot ceiling: 476 cubic feet. The Air L 10 and the Air L 13 are both rated for it, so the larger rule picks this package. Face one wall with 15 square feet of stone and it counts as 521, still the Air L 13.
Our sauna heater finder runs the sums for you; our sauna heater buying guide walks through the room around the heater. The Saunum Air Perfect 10 package is also rated to 565, in a compact body that needs a 77 inch ceiling.
Install day
Before install day: the Saunum Air L 13 package checklist
Hand this list to your electrician and builder. The fan moves the sauna's own air and replaces none of it, so the vents are still required.
- A dedicated 240 volt circuitSingle phase, 12,900 W at 53.75 amps, hardwired. Your licensed electrician sizes breaker and cable from the manual and the NEC; never a GFCI breaker
- Wired through the AirIQSupply to the AirIQ control unit, never mains straight to the heater, which joins it at a splashproof junction box no more than 20 inches above the floor
- The room and the heater spotInsulated first, a ceiling of 73 inches or more; closed basket 2 inches from combustibles at sides and front, open basket 8 at the sides and 10 in front; 20 inches clear before the fan outlet, whose top stays below the bench
- The ventsFresh air in no higher than 12 inches off the floor beside the heater, stale air out 24 to 47 inches up on the far side, at least six changes of air an hour
- Sensor, panel, power unitSensor on the wall 2 inches under the ceiling, away from the heater's top and 20 inches clear of vents, doors and windows; panel outside the sauna room; power unit kept dry, under 113 °F
- First power upAt first installation the AirIQ needs internet to load its updates, which a phone hotspot can provide. After that your electrician completes the installation report
Saunum's current US AirIQ manual rates the power unit for heaters up to 15.2 kW, so it switches the Air L 13 directly. A 2023 edition set the limit at 12 kW and called for a contactor box above it; we confirm which edition ships with your order, and your electrician works from the manual in the box.
Shipping
Shipping the Saunum Air L 13 package
Free shipping to the contiguous 48 states, with one carrier for the heater and another for the parcels. The estimate beside Add to Cart is in business days.
Heater on a pallet
Freight to the curb, with a call to book a window. Someone signs, and two people move it.
Parcels on their own
The AirIQ and the six stone boxes come by ground parcel, no appointment, maybe days apart from the heater.
Cold weather
Let a heater that shipped below freezing warm to room temperature before wiring; under 23 °F its limiter may trip.
Look at every carton before signing.Dents, tears or damp patches get a photo and a line on the receipt. Open everything on delivery day, even if the electrician comes weeks later. Damage must be reported within 48 hours of delivery, photographed, and before installation; call (888) 500-5675.
Saunum orders do not ship to Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico. New, uninstalled parts can come back within 30 days of purchase. Once wired in, switched on or loaded with stones, a heater counts as installed and stays; so does an opened stone box. Details: Saunum shipping policy and Saunum return policy.

Warranty and certification
Saunum Air L 13 package warranty and certification
The heater and the AirIQ are warranted by Saunum separately, each under its own manual.
| Air L 13, home sauna | Two years from purchase, defects in materials and assembly |
|---|---|
| Air L 13, gym, spa or rental | The manual that ships with the heater gives no commercial term |
| Not covered on the heater | Labor, heating elements, salt spheres, wear, transport risk, improper installation or ventilation |
| AirIQ | Two years private sauna, one year public sauna (current US AirIQ manual) |
| Claim conditions | Completed installation report with the claim; a qualified electrician's connection |
Start with us and we take the claim to Saunum technical support at Bathing Brands, its US distributor. Full wording: Saunum warranty policy.
The Air L 13 is not named on the 2023 UL certificate we hold, which lists the Air 5 and Air 7; Saunum's Air L 13 manual carries the cULus mark under the same file, E525245.
FAQ
Saunum Air L 13 package FAQ
How big a room is the Saunum Air L 13 package for?
424 to 565 cubic feet of effective volume, ceiling 73 inches or higher. Multiply the room's dimensions in feet, add half for uninsulated log walls and 3.0 cubic feet per square foot of glass, tile or stone.
What is included in the Saunum Air L 13 package?
The Air L 13 heater in a closed or open basket, its carton holding seven Himalayan salt spheres and the room temperature sensor; the Saunum AirIQ Wi-Fi control with panel and power unit; and 198 pounds of olivine diabase in six boxes.
Does the Saunum Air L 13 package need extra switching gear for its 12,900 W heater?
No, on the current manual. Saunum's current US AirIQ manual rates the power unit for heaters up to 15.2 kW, so the AirIQ in the package switches the Air L 13 by itself. We confirm the edition with your order.
Could the Saunum Air L 13 package use another brand's sauna control?
No. The Air L 13 is designed to run only with the Saunum AirIQ, and it is never connected straight to mains power, which is why the AirIQ comes in the package. Its panel mounts on a wall outside the sauna room.
Is the Saunum Air L 13 package more expensive than its parts?
No. It costs the heater, the AirIQ and six stone boxes at Saunum's advertised prices, added up, with no compare-at price. The same parts ordered from the heater page come to the same amount.
Who wires the Saunum Air L 13 package, and what circuit does it need?
A licensed electrician, on a dedicated 240 volt single phase circuit for 53.75 amps, hardwired through the AirIQ power unit to a low splashproof junction box. Breaker and cable follow the manual and the NEC; no GFCI.
Will the parts of the Saunum Air L 13 package come on the same day?
Maybe not. A freight truck brings the heater to the curb, while the AirIQ and the stone travel as ground parcels, so they can arrive separately. Delivery is free in the contiguous 48 states.
What is the warranty on the Saunum Air L 13 package?
The heater carries two years in a private sauna. Labor, elements and salt spheres fall outside it, and its shipped manual sets no commercial term. The AirIQ: two years private, one year public. Every claim needs the installation report.
