What You LOSE With Other Dealers
Same product, same price — but here's the hidden cost of buying elsewhere
Installation & Setup
Is this easy to assemble myself? ▼
Most products are designed for DIY assembly with basic tools. Pre-built barrel saunas and modular kits typically take 2-4 hours with 2 people. Our team is available by phone, video call, or email to walk you through any step — unlimited support, no charge.
What electrical requirements do I need? ▼
Requirements vary by heater size:
- Small heaters (up to 6kW): 240V, 30-amp dedicated circuit
- Medium heaters (6-9kW): 240V, 40-amp dedicated circuit
- Large heaters (9kW+): 240V, 50-60 amp dedicated circuit
We recommend consulting a licensed electrician before purchase.
Do I need a professional electrician? ▼
Yes, we strongly recommend it. Electric sauna heaters require 240V hardwired connections. For safety and to maintain your warranty, have a licensed electrician handle the electrical work.
Payment & Financing
Do you offer financing? ▼
Yes — 0% APR financing available. We partner with Affirm and Shop Pay to offer flexible payment plans. Check your rate at checkout without affecting your credit score.
⚠️ Note: Shop Pay Installment purchases are final sale — not eligible for returns or refunds.
Can I use my HSA/FSA to pay for this? ▼
Yes! Through our partnership with Truemed, qualifying customers can use pre-tax HSA/FSA dollars to purchase saunas and cold plunges. Look for the Truemed option at checkout.
