Harvia KIP60W: a 6 kW wall heater for saunas from 170 to 300 cubic feet
The Harvia KIP60W is a wall-mounted electric sauna heater rated at 6 kW for rooms from 170 to 300 cubic feet, the range most home saunas fall into. Its rectangular gray body is 16 inches wide, 11 inches deep, and 24 inches tall, and it weighs 40 pounds before stones. The mesh cage on top holds a large load of stones in direct contact with the stainless steel heating elements, keeping the heat steady rather than harsh.
The box holds the heater and its manual. It has no built-in controls and runs from a digital wall control outside the sauna. It needs a Harvia Xenio wall control to run, and you add that on the page. Sauna stones are sold separately, so add the 1 box it needs on the page. On the page, choose 240 volt single phase for a home or 208 volt three phase for a commercial building. A bucket and ladle set is optional. Want knobs on the heater instead? See the Harvia KIP60B sauna heater. The Harvia KIP60W ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
FAQ
What size sauna room does this heater support?
The KIP60W is rated for sauna rooms from 170 to 300 adjusted cubic feet, per its specification table. Measure your room’s length x width x height in feet to get its volume, and confirm the final sizing against the installation and operation manual linked in this page’s Manual tab before ordering.
Does it come with a control, or do I need one?
The KIP60W does not have onboard controls – it requires a separate wall-mounted time and temperature control to operate. The compatible Harvia Xenio CX170 digital control with WiFi is listed under the Required Sauna Heater Controls selector on this page, so you can add it to the same order as the heater.
Are sauna stones included, and how many do I need?
This heater requires a minimum of 50 lbs of sauna stones – one box – which you select with your order using the Required Stones option on this page. Because natural stones vary in shape and size, the page also recommends adding an extra box so you can choose the best-fitting stones; additional freight charges apply to the extra box.
Can I run it on single-phase or three-phase power?
Both configurations are offered: 240V single-phase for home use, drawing 25 amps, or 208V three-phase for commercial installations, drawing 16.7 amps. Choose your configuration with the Voltage & Phase selector on this page, and have a licensed electrician complete the hookup per the installation manual and your local electrical codes.
Is this a traditional sauna heater you use with water and stones?
It is built in the authentic Finnish sauna tradition, with an exceptionally large rock capacity and stones in direct contact with the heating elements for even, consistent heat. A bamboo and aluminum sauna bucket and ladle set can be added to your order on this page; follow the installation and operation manual for proper use.
Where is this heater made, and what warranty applies?
Like the other Harvia KIP series sauna heaters, the KIP60W is designed, engineered, and made in Finland, is UL listed, and uses industrial-grade serviceable heating elements. The Includes tab lists a 2-year warranty for consumer use, and the full Harvia warranty document is linked at the top of this page.
