Harvia KIP60B: a 6 kW wall heater with built in controls for saunas from 170 to 300 cubic feet
The Harvia KIP60B is a stainless steel wall-mounted electric sauna heater rated at 6 kW for rooms from 170 to 300 cubic feet, which suits most two to four person home saunas. It measures 16 inches wide, 11 inches deep, and 24 inches tall and weighs 40 pounds before stones. The stones sit in a mesh cage directly on the heating elements, and the layered walls help keep the outside cooler.
You get the heater and its manual, ready for a 240 volt circuit with no separate control to buy. Two knobs built into the base set the temperature and a 60 minute timer. A delayed start of up to 8 hours lets you have the room ready for the evening. Sauna stones are sold separately, so add the 1 box it needs on the page. A bucket and ladle set is optional. Have a bigger sauna? The Harvia KIP80B sauna heater heats rooms up to 425 cubic feet. The Harvia KIP60B ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
FAQ
What size sauna will a 6kW heater like this handle?
The specification table rates the KIP60B for rooms from 170 to 300 adjusted cubic feet. Work out your sauna’s volume (length x width x height in feet) and keep it inside that range; the installation and operation manual linked on this page is the final word on sizing and placement.
How do you turn it on and set the temperature?
Everything is on the heater itself: a built-in control panel at the base houses a 60-minute timer and a thermostat, and it can be preset with up to an 8-hour startup delay so the sauna is ready when you are. No separate wall-mounted control unit is needed for operation.
What stones does it need, and are they in the box?
The heater requires at least 50 lbs of sauna stones – one box – selected through the Required Stones option when you place your order on this page. The page suggests adding a second box, since natural stones vary in shape and size and extras let you pick the best fit; additional freight charges apply.
Is the outside of the heater safe to be near?
The KIP60B uses triple-wall construction, which the page notes provides greater safety and cooler surface temperatures, along with a durable stainless-steel outer casing. As with any sauna heater, keep to the mounting and clearance guidance in the installation and operation manual, which is linked in the Manual tab.
What are the power requirements?
It runs on 240V single-phase power with a listed amperage of 25 amps in the specification table. Hookup should be done by a licensed electrician following the installation and operation manual and your local electrical codes, which determine the correct breaker and wiring for your installation.
What is included with my order?
The box contains the sauna heater and its installation and operation manual, with a 2-year consumer-use warranty listed on the Includes tab. Required stones and optional bucket-and-ladle accessories are added through the selectors on this page. If you are still comparing sizes and styles, browse the full range of sauna heaters here.
