Know before you buy
The 6.0kW model is typically suitable for sauna rooms ranging from 175 to 300 cubic feet. It is important to ensure your room is properly insulated, as glass surfaces or uninsulated stone walls will increase the heating requirements.
Yes, this model is Wi-Fi enabled and integrates with the MyHarvia app. This allows you to adjust the temperature, lighting, and ventilation remotely from your smartphone, providing a convenient alternative to the manual controls on the unit.
The Harvia KIP features a cool-to-the-touch safety casing designed to minimize the risk of accidental burns. While the stones and the air directly above the unit will be extremely hot, the outer shell remains much safer to be near than traditional metal-cased heaters.
Yes, because this is a 6.0kW electric heater, it requires a hardwired electrical connection. We strongly recommend hiring a licensed electrician to ensure the installation meets local building codes and safety standards.
Sauna stones are typically sold separately from the heater unit. You will need to purchase the appropriate amount of high-quality igneous sauna stones to fill the spacious stone compartment for optimal heat retention and steam production.
The Limited Lifetime Warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal residential use. It is a testament to the heater's durable design, though it does not cover standard wear and tear or damage resulting from improper installation or maintenance.
