ALEKO Harvia KIP Sauna Heater

Yes, because this is a 4.5kW electric appliance, it requires a hardwired connection to your home's electrical system. We strongly recommend hiring a licensed electrician to ensure the installation meets local building codes and safety standards.

The integrated Wi-Fi allows you to connect the heater to your home network, enabling you to control the temperature and preheat your sauna remotely via a smartphone app. It is a significant convenience feature that lets you start the heating cycle before you even step into the room.

The Xenio control panel is designed to be mounted outside the sauna room. This placement protects the electronics from the high heat and humidity inside the sauna while keeping the controls easily accessible.

A 4.5kW heater is typically suitable for smaller residential sauna rooms, generally ranging between 100 and 210 cubic feet. Be sure to calculate your specific room volume, accounting for glass surfaces or uninsulated walls, which may require a more powerful unit.

Sauna stones are generally sold separately from the heater unit itself. You will need to purchase the appropriate amount of sauna-grade igneous stones to fill the rock chamber correctly for optimal heat retention and steam production.
