Harvia KIP Stainless Steel Sauna Heater with Wi-Fi Control

Description

The Harvia KIP is the workhorse of traditional sauna heaters, and this is the connected version: the same robust Finnish stove, paired with Harvia's Xenio Wi-Fi control so you can preheat the sauna from your phone and walk into a room that is already hot.

A 50-pound bed of stones sits in direct contact with the elements, softening the heat and giving you the loyly, the burst of steam when you ladle water over the rocks, that defines a real sauna. Industrial-grade, serviceable heating elements and a polished stainless steel casing are built for years of use, and a protective rock grill and UL listing keep it safe.

The included Xenio touch panel runs temperature, lighting, ventilation, and a timer with up to an eight-hour delay, and it installs wherever suits you, in the sauna, the changing room, or the living room. It is offered in 4.5, 6, and 8 kilowatts, in single-phase 240V or three-phase 208V.

• Stones: rinse and stack the included stones loosely so air and water move through them.

FAQ

How do I choose the right kilowatt rating?
Match the heater to your sauna's air volume. As a guide, 4.5kW suits rooms up to about 210 cubic feet, 6kW up to about 300, and 8kW up to about 425. If the room is poorly insulated or heavy on glass, size up.

What does the Wi-Fi control add?
The included Xenio touch panel lets you start and monitor the sauna from your phone, so you can preheat on the drive home and walk into a hot room instead of waiting 30 to 60 minutes. It also handles temperature, lighting, and ventilation, and can be installed inside or outside the sauna.

240V single-phase or 208V three-phase, which do I need?
That depends on your building's electrical service. Most homes are 240V single-phase; many commercial spaces are 208V three-phase. Choose the variant that matches your panel, and have a licensed electrician confirm before ordering.

Are the stones included, and how do I load them?
Yes, 50 pounds of stones come with it. Rinse them and stack them loosely around the elements so air and water move through; packing them tight chokes the heat and shortens element life.

Is this a genuine Harvia?
Yes. Harvia is a Finnish maker with more than 75 years in sauna heaters, and this is the real KIP with the genuine Xenio Wi-Fi control. It is UL listed.
