The Backyard Sauna Guide

Terms of use

Last updated October 28, 2026

Information, not professional advice

Our guides and the Sauna Planner give general estimates based on published sources. They are not electrical, engineering, building-code or medical advice. Heater sizing, breaker and wire sizes come from manufacturer documents and can differ for the heater you buy; its manual and your local code take priority.

Electrical and installation work

Sauna heaters run on dedicated 240-volt circuits. Have a licensed electrician do the wiring, and check permit requirements with your local building department.

Prices

Costs change with location, season and seller. Treat the ranges here as a starting point and get written quotes before you buy.

Third-party sites

We link to manufacturers, sellers and data sources we don't control. Purchases are between you and the seller.

Liability

The site is provided "as is". To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for decisions made from its content.
