Frequently Asked Questions
Is a heater included with the E8G?
The E8G is heater-ready. Choose a compatible electric sauna heater, commonly in the 6 to 8 kW range, and follow that heater’s electrical and installation requirements.
What electrical is required?
Electrical requirements depend on the heater you select. Most 6 to 8 kW heaters require a dedicated 240 V circuit installed by a licensed electrician according to local code and the heater manual.
How long does assembly take?
With two people and common tools, most customers complete assembly in about one day. Pre-cut staves, cradles, roof components, and clear instructions help simplify the process.
