Harvia KIP Electric Sauna Heater
The KIP is Harvia’s go-to wall-mounted heater: stainless steel, compact, and built to last. Its double-wall body stays cool on the outside, so it mounts straight onto wood walls with the included bracket and keeps your floor and benches clear.
The open stone basket holds about 44 lbs of stones and is made for pouring water, so you get soft, rolling steam instead of dry heat.

Want the full story? Read my Harvia KIP review, with specs, sizing, wiring, stones, and pros and cons.
Sauna stones are not included and are required to operate the heater.
See the Harvia installation manual for wiring diagrams, breaker sizing, and safety clearances.
Based on Harvia's sizing rules: each square foot of glass, tile or stone adds about 4 ft³, and log or uninsulated walls need 1.5× the volume. Not sure? Call me with your dimensions.

Harvia is Finland's best-known heater maker. The KIP's heating elements are replaceable, so a worn part is a simple swap instead of a new heater.
Compact and wall-mounted, it keeps the floor and benches clear. Ideal for barrel, cube, and backyard cabin saunas.
The open stone basket is made for water, giving you that burst of soft steam that makes a sauna session.
Knobs right on the heater, a Harvia Xenio WiFi controller to preheat from your phone, or heater only if you already have a controller.
What to sort out before your heater arrives.
Your heater ships boxed and insured. You'll get a tracking number by email as soon as it leaves.
