Dimensions and installation
- Power. Needs a dedicated 30A or 240V circuit (240V, 40A · 8,000 W). Have a licensed electrician confirm your panel and wiring before you order.
- Floor space. The maker doesn't publish clearances here, so Make Sure It Fits assumes 3 in at the sides and back: plan on about 86 × 86 in of floor.
- Ceiling. At 80 in tall plus our 6 in allowance above, you'd want a ceiling of at least 86 in. Confirm with the manual.
- Doorways. The listing doesn't give the largest delivered piece, so measure your narrowest door or gate and ask the seller.
Running cost estimate
At its rated 8,000 W, four 75-minute sessions a week (warm-up included) at the U.S. average of 18.3¢ per kWh (EIA) come to about $32 a month, or $381 a year. This is an estimate, not a quote: heaters cycle off once hot, so most owners pay less. Use your own rate in the True Cost calculator.
Warranty and support
5-year limited. source Orders, delivery and warranty claims go through Select Saunas, the seller, and Golden Designs, the maker. Read the written warranty before you buy, because outdoor use and self-installation can change the terms. Our warranty guide lists the questions to ask.
