Know before you buy
Yes, the Harvia KIP features a flexible design that allows you to reposition the built-in mechanical controls to either the left or right side of the unit to better suit your sauna layout.
The included WiFi capability allows you to manage your sauna settings remotely via a compatible mobile app. This provides the convenience of pre-heating your sauna before you step inside.
The heater is built with a multi-layer construction specifically designed to keep the outer casing cooler than the heating elements. While it will still get warm, this design helps reduce the risk of accidental burns compared to single-layer models.
Yes, the heater comes with the necessary sauna stones. The unit has a capacity of approximately 50 lbs, which is essential for achieving the optimal heat dispersion and soft steam quality the KIP is known for.
The correct power output depends primarily on the cubic footage of your sauna room and the level of insulation. You should calculate your room's volume and consult a professional electrician or the manufacturer's sizing guide to ensure the heater can effectively reach your desired temperature.
While the Harvia KIP is designed for traditional Finnish-style sauna bathing, it is not intended for steam generation. You can pour small amounts of water over the hot stones to create a burst of steam, but it should not be used as a dedicated steam room heater.
