Harvia KIP80W: an 8 kW wall heater for saunas from 250 to 425 cubic feet
The Harvia KIP80W is the largest KIP wall heater, an electric sauna heater rated at 8 kW for rooms from 250 to 425 cubic feet. It has the same compact case as the smaller KIPs, measuring 16 inches wide, 11 inches deep, and 24 inches tall and weighing 40 pounds empty. The rectangular gray case holds a generous load of stones in the mesh cage on top, directly against the stainless steel heating elements.
You get the heater and its manual. It needs a Harvia Xenio wall control to run, and you add that on the page. The digital control mounts on the wall, so the heater itself has no knobs to reach past the hot stones. 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. Prefer built-in controls? The Harvia KIP80B sauna heater has them at the base. The Harvia KIP80W ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
FAQ
What size sauna is this heater designed for?
It is an 8kW heater rated for sauna rooms from 250 to 425 adjusted cubic feet. If your room falls outside that range, you can compare other outputs in the Harvia KIP series, or check the installation manual linked on this page for sizing guidance.
Does the KIP80W come with its own controls?
No – it requires a wall-mounted time and temperature control to operate. The compatible Harvia Xenio digital control with WiFi is offered right on this page under Required Sauna Heater Controls, so you can add it to the same order and receive everything needed to run the heater together.
What are the electrical requirements?
Two configurations are offered: 240V single-phase, drawing 33.3 amps, for home use, or 208V three-phase, drawing 22.2 amps, for commercial use. Pick yours in the Voltage & Phase option when ordering, and have a licensed electrician complete the hookup per the installation manual and your local codes.
How many sauna stones does it need, and are they included?
The heater requires a minimum of 50 lbs of stones – one box of Harvia AC3000 split-face stones, which you select in the Required Stones option when you place your order on this page. Because each natural stone varies in shape and size, Harvia recommends an extra box so you can choose the best stones for fit and function.
What kind of heat does this heater produce?
The sauna rocks sit in direct contact with the industrial-grade stainless steel heating elements, and an exceptionally large rock capacity stores the heat and evens it out. The result is the intense, penetrating, consistent warmth the page describes, from serviceable elements engineered for years of reliable operation.
Is it wall-mounted or floor-standing?
This is a wall-mounted heater with a compact footprint – 16 inches wide, 11 inches deep, and 24 inches tall – which keeps the sauna floor clear. Mounting height and the required clearances are covered in the installation and operation manual linked on this page.
What warranty and safety listings does it carry?
It is UL listed, and the Features and Includes tabs list a 2-year warranty for consumer use on this fully serviceable heater, which is designed, engineered, and made in Finland. For complete coverage terms, see the Harvia warranty document linked at the top of this page.
