The wiring
Ask one question before you shop: what outlet is in the room where the sauna will go?
- Standard 15 amp outlet. Fine for most 1 person infrared cabins.
- 20 amp outlet on its own circuit. Needed by typical 2 person infrared cabins. If the room lacks one, an electrician adds it.
- 240V circuit. Needed by larger infrared cabins and by traditional heaters. Published installer ranges are $300 to $1,500.
The running cost
Running cost is small next to the purchase. A 2 person infrared cabin at 2,050 watts costs $0.37 an hour. A 6 kW traditional heater costs $1.09 an hour at full power and needs a longer warm-up. Try your own numbers in the calculator.
