Question 1

What's the difference between infrared and Finnish dry saunas?

Accepted Answer

Infrared heats your body directly for a gentler sweat at 150°F. Finnish dry saunas heat the air with a traditional heater and rocks, running 170–200°F for a more classic feel.

Question 2

What power do they need? Will this overload my apartment?

Accepted Answer

All units use standard 120V household outlets, same load class as a hair dryer. No special wiring, panel upgrades, or electrician.

Question 3

How much space do I need?

Accepted Answer

Indoor: 48" W × 42" D × 76" H. Outdoor: 58" W × 46" D × 85" H.

Question 4

Can these go indoors or outdoors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We have dedicated models for each.

Question 5

Will a sauna overheat my apartment?

Accepted Answer

No. They're heavily insulated, so heat stays inside the cabin with negligible spillover.

Question 6

How long does setup take?

Accepted Answer

About 1–2 hours. We position it, plug it in, test it, and walk you through everything.

Question 7

How long does it take to heat up?

Accepted Answer

Infrared reaches ~150°F in ~30 minutes. Finnish dry saunas hit 170–194°F in 20–60 minutes depending on the heaters you choose.

Question 8

Do I need to leave it running?

Accepted Answer

No. Just turn it on 20–60 minutes before using. Most people heat it once a day for about an hour.

Question 9

Is this landlord-friendly?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Saunas are free-standing appliances that plug into a normal outlet. No drilling, venting, hardwiring, or modifications. Almost no one needs permission, but follow your lease rules.

Question 10

Will this damage my floors?

Accepted Answer

No. The base stays cool enough for wood, and humidity stays inside the cabin. Just avoid spilling water outside the unit.

Question 11

What if I move during my rental?

Accepted Answer

This is part of the service, we move the sauna to your new place.

Question 12

What happens after my initial lease term?

Accepted Answer

Your plan switches to month-to-month. Keep it as long as you want; when you're done, we pick it up within 30 days.

Question 13

How much does it add to my electric bill?

Accepted Answer

Usually $0.50–$1.50 per session. SF electricity is about $0.30/kWh, and sessions run 40–90 minutes total.

Question 14

Can I buy out the sauna later?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After your lease term, you can purchase the unit with 30% of your rental payments credited. Infrared pricing follows retail listings; Finnish saunas are Indoor $6,499 and Outdoor $8,499 (+$459 if you have the extra heater).

Question 15

Who handles maintenance?

Accepted Answer

We handle all normal maintenance, repairs, parts, and troubleshooting for the sauna, no charge. If something fails under normal use, we fix it or replace the unit.
