The Harvia Virta Pro HL160E is a wide, low electric sauna heater built for all-day use in gyms, spas, hotels, and apartment buildings. It delivers 16 kW of heat for saunas from 354 to 918 cubic feet and runs on 240 volt single phase power. The black steel unit measures 31 inches wide, 13 inches deep, and 33 inches tall. It can stand on the floor or mount on a side wall and weighs 93 pounds empty. Its long, open top holds 200 pounds of stones on stainless steel heating elements, split into two groups to make maintenance easier.
You get the heater and its installation and operation manual. It needs a Harvia Xenio wall control to run, and you add that on the page. Sauna stones are sold separately, so add the 5 boxes it needs on the page. A Xenio power extension unit and a bucket and ladle set are optional. Bigger room or three phase power? See the Harvia Virta Pro HL200E sauna heater. The Harvia Virta Pro HL160E ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
FAQ
How big a sauna can a 16kW heater serve?
The Virta Pro HL160E is rated for sauna rooms from 354 to 918 adjusted cubic feet, making it a fit for health clubs, spas, hotels, and apartment buildings as well as larger home saunas. Confirm your room’s adjusted volume against the installation and operation manual linked on this page before ordering.
What kind of control does this heater use?
It runs on the Harvia Xenio digital control with WiFi, which appears as a required selection under Sauna Heater Controls when you add the heater to your order on this page. A Xenio LTY45 power extension unit is also offered on this page as an optional add-on for the control.
How many sauna stones does the HL160E need?
It requires a minimum of 200 lbs of stones, supplied as five boxes chosen with your order on this page under Required Stones. Since every natural stone varies in shape and size, the page recommends purchasing one additional box so you can select the highest-quality stones for fit, form, and function.
What are the electrical requirements?
The specifications list 240V single-phase power with a nominal 66.7 amps across two circuits. Have a licensed electrician perform the hookup according to the Harvia Virta Pro installation and operation manual linked on this page and your local electrical codes.
Why are the heating elements divided into two groups?
Per the product description, splitting the heating elements into two groups makes maintenance exceptionally easy, which matters in sauna rooms with heavy use. The elements themselves are industrial grade and serviceable, so the heater is designed to stay in service through years of frequent sessions rather than be replaced.
Where is this heater made?
It is designed, engineered, and made in Finland with stainless steel construction, and it carries a 2-year consumer-use warranty. The rocks sit in direct contact with the heating elements, and the heater belongs to Harvia’s Virta series, with the Pro models aimed at professional and high-traffic settings.
