75 Years of Pure Sauna Power
The story of sauna can’t be told without Harvia.
Since its humble beginnings in 1950, when founder Tapani Harvia built his first wood-burning stove following a life-changing plane crash into an icy lake, Harvia has grown from a small Finnish workshop into the world's leading sauna solutions company.
Over the decades, Harvia evolved from manufacturing 100 stoves annually to pioneering electric heating technology in the 1980s — a response to changing urban lifestyles at the time. This revolutionary step expanded their market reach, eventually transforming Harvia into a worldwide authority in sauna technology, now serving nearly 100 countries.
Their remarkable journey from a single stove to global leadership reflects both deep-rooted Finnish sauna tradition and an unwavering commitment to wellness innovation.
This is a story we're proud to be a part of. Here's to another 75 years.

FAQ
Which heater should I choose for my sauna?
Which heater should I choose for my sauna?
The standard heater that is included in most of our sauna kits is the KIP heater. The size of the sauna will determine the standard kilowatt size paired.
Our heater upgrade models include the KIP (dials), KIP (digital), The Wall Heater (dials), Cilindro Heater (dials or digital), Virta (digital), and Virta Combi (digital). Select outdoor saunas are also eligible for an upgrade to a wood-burning heater.
What’s the difference between an electric and a wood-burning heater?
What’s the difference between an electric and a wood-burning heater?
The overall experience is similar whether heating with electric or wood. An electric heater is standard with every sauna we sell, and we also have wood-burning options for our larger outdoor saunas. Installation should be done in accordance with the sauna and heater manufacturer's recommendations, being sure to abide by any local building codes as well
How long will it take for my sauna to heat up?
How long will it take for my sauna to heat up?
Typically, our saunas will heat to 165°F in 30–40 minutes and to 185° in less than 60. Our heaters offer a standard heat up time of 45-60 minutes and will reach 170°-185°F+.
However, the time it takes a sauna to heat up depends on the climate in which you live; heat up time depends on the ambient temperature surrounding the sauna. For example, if you have an outdoor sauna and you live in a northern climate and it’s the middle of winter, give your sauna a little more time to heat up. Furthermore, some people like their sauna hot and some like it blazing – that’s a factor that will influence heat-up time too.
