Infrared Sauna Installation Cost
By Marcus Ellery. Prices checked .
Most 1 and 2 person infrared cabins plug into a household outlet and you assemble them yourself, so installation can cost $0. Budget $300 to $1,500 for an electrician when the cabin needs a 240V circuit or when the room has no suitable outlet. Inside delivery is a separate charge at some sellers.

What "plug-in" really requires
Plug-in does not always mean any outlet. Check three things on the spec sheet:
| Model | Circuit | Draw |
|---|---|---|
| JNH Joyous 1 person | 120V, 15 amp | 1,320 W |
| Peak Mini 1 person | 120V, 15 amp | 1,800 W |
| JNH Joyous 3 person | 120V, dedicated 20 amp | 1,760 W |
| Sun Home Equinox 2 | 120V, dedicated 20 amp | 1,880 W |
| Peak Everest 2 person | 120V, 20 amp | 2,050 W |
| Peak Denali 3 person | 240V, 20 amp | 2,850 W |
- Amps: a 20 amp cabin needs a 20 amp outlet, which has a T-shaped slot.
- Dedicated: nothing else should share the circuit.
- Distance: the cord has to reach without an extension lead.
If the room fails any of these, an electrician adds a circuit. That is the $300 to $1,500 line.
Space and clearance
One maker asks for 4 to 6 inches of space around the cabin and 8 to 10 inches above it. Use the figures in your own manual, and measure doorways and stairs on the route in.
Ways to keep the cost at zero
- Pick a 120V, 15 amp cabin if your room only has standard outlets.
- Place the cabin near an outlet on a circuit that serves nothing else.
- Accept curbside delivery and carry the boxes in yourself.
Questions people ask
Do infrared saunas need an electrician?
Not always. Cabins that run on 120V can use an existing outlet if it has the right amp rating and nothing else on the circuit. 240V cabins need an electrician.
Can I put an infrared sauna on carpet?
Check the manual for your model. Many owners use a hard, level floor because it is easier to keep clean.
How long does assembly take?
It depends on the model. Panels on most cabins clip or buckle together with two people. Check the manual for the maker's own estimate.
