Harvia KIP Electric Sauna Heater

(5 customer reviews)

The Harvia KIP is the most affordable professional grade heater, but don’t let that fool you. It may also be the most reliable, quickest to heat, and most adaptable. The Harvia KIP is so popular that many designs, heater guards, and best practices are built around it.

The Harvia KIP has an external temperature sensor for more control and accuracy, allowing you to spec the best location for your room.

The KIP is has industrial-grade heating elements that are included in the Harvia warranty and stand up to regular sauna use. Sizes include 4.5KW, 6KW, and 8KW with built-in controls or a wall mounted controller system with Wi-Fi-enabled Xenio for advanced scheduling and remote-control. We’ve found the 8KW Harvia KIP outperforms most 9KW electric heaters in heat-up time and max temperature.

All KIPs are UL‑listed, use industrial‑grade, serviceable elements, and are designed and made in Finland with a 2‑year consumer warranty. Standard size across the line is 16″W × 11″D × 24″H, with outputs from 4.5 to 8 kW to fit rooms from 100 to 425 cu ft.

    Overall straight forward to use. It’s a bit touchy to turn on, if you’re not paying attention you easily set it for a delay versus turning it on immediately. Easy fix, simply turn it on, wait a few minutes and confirm the heater is on.

PLAN THE WHOLE SAUNA

The room and heater still have to work as one system.

Start with the room dimensions, then account for glass, masonry, insulation, ceiling height, required clearances, and available electrical service. That is how we move from a product that looks right to a sauna that heats evenly and comfortably.
