6kW Sauna Heaters

Is a 6kW heater the right size for my sauna?

A 6kW heater is typically the perfect fit for sauna rooms between 175 and 300 cubic feet, making it ideal for most 3-4 person saunas. To get a precise recommendation based on your room's specific dimensions and features, we strongly recommend using our official sauna heater size calculator to confirm the perfect fit.

What are the electrical requirements for a 6kW heater?

A 6kW heater is a powerful appliance that requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit, typically connected to a 30-amp or 40-amp breaker depending on the specific model. This installation must be completed by a licensed electrician to ensure it operates safely and effectively.

What kind of performance can I expect?

Performance varies by design, especially stone capacity. A classic heater from Harvia offers a quick heat-up time for a sharp, intense steam. In contrast, a modern designer heater from HUUM can hold significantly more stones, providing a softer, more radiant, and longer-lasting heat.

What are the must-have accessories for my new heater?

To complete your sauna experience, a traditional wooden bucket and ladle are essential for creating that perfect burst of steam. A reliable thermometer/hygrometer is also crucial for monitoring the environment. You can find everything you need in our sauna heater accessories collection.
