The Harvia KIP Series is a trusted choice for home and light-commercial saunas up to 300 cu ft. With its polished stainless-steel body, direct-rock heating elements, and even heat distribution, it delivers the classic Finnish sauna experience - steady, deep warmth and steam that feels restorative, not harsh.

Choose the control style that best suits your setup below. Both versions use the same 6 kW heating elements, stone capacity, and quality craftsmanship.

The Harvia KIP 6 kW sauna heater combines timeless Finnish design with reliable performance. Its stainless-steel construction resists corrosion and ensures long life. A 55 lb stone capacity allows gentle or intense steam, depending on how much water you pour over the rocks (stones sold separately).

The compact, wall-mounted design saves space and delivers efficient heat circulation. Industrial-grade heating elements and direct rock-to-element contact provide fast, consistent warmth.

Both versions are UL Listed and backed by a 2-year consumer warranty.
