Common Questions
What types of saunas do you offer? We specialize in traditional electric heater saunas (with rocks for authentic steam sessions). Choose from indoor models (perfect for basements, spare rooms, or garages) and outdoor models (weather-resistant, ideal for patios or backyards).
What are the key benefits of traditional sauna use? Regular sessions promote relaxation, stress relief, muscle recovery, improved circulation, detoxification through sweating, better sleep, and overall wellness. (Consult your doctor before use if you have health conditions.)
How long does it take to heat up? Typically 30–60 minutes to reach optimal temperature (150–195°F / 65–90°C), depending on size, insulation, and model. Outdoor units may take slightly longer in cold weather.
How much electricity does a sauna use? Electric heaters range from 4–9 kW (similar to a large appliance). Expect $0.50–$2 per session (based on local rates). All models require a dedicated 240V circuit (amperage varies by heater size—details on product pages).
What electrical requirements are needed? Most models need a dedicated 240V circuit with 30–60 amps (check specific product specs). Professional electrician installation recommended for safety and code compliance.
How much space is required? Sizes range from compact 1–2 person units (as small as 4×4 ft) to larger family models. Indoor models need proper ventilation and clearance; outdoor models require a level foundation and weather protection.
Can I pour water on the rocks? Yes! That's the traditional löyly experience—safely add water to the heated rocks for steam bursts. Use the included ladle; avoid overuse to protect the heater.
Is it safe for everyone? Safe for most healthy adults—hydrate well and start with shorter sessions (10–15 min). Consult a doctor if pregnant, have heart issues, blood pressure concerns, or medical implants.
How do I clean and maintain it? Wipe benches/interior with mild soap and water; ventilate after use. Clean rocks occasionally. Proper care ensures years of reliable performance.
