Description

The Harvia KIP45W Sauna Heater is a traditional wall-mounted electric sauna heater designed to deliver reliable heat and an authentic Finnish sauna experience. Built with a durable polished stainless steel outer casing, the heater offers long-lasting performance while resisting corrosion and wear in humid sauna environments.

Unlike built-in control models, the KIP45W operates with Harvia’s Xenio digital control system (sold separately), allowing for precise temperature adjustment and flexible wall-mounted control placement.

Its generous stone capacity allows heat to spread evenly throughout the sauna, creating comfortable warmth and producing authentic löyly steam when water is poured over the heated stones.

Designed and manufactured in Finland, Harvia heaters are trusted worldwide for delivering dependable sauna performance.

Heating Performance

The Harvia KIP45W delivers 4.5kW of heating power, making it suitable for sauna rooms ranging from 100 to 210 cubic feet.

Harvia’s advanced heating elements provide fast warm-up times and consistent heat distribution, helping maintain a comfortable and balanced sauna environment.

The heater requires 50 pounds of sauna stones, which absorb heat from the elements and slowly radiate warmth throughout the sauna room. Pouring water over the stones creates löyly, the traditional Finnish sauna steam that enhances relaxation and comfort.
