Traditional saunas can be expensive to run due to their energy consumption and maintenance costs. However, the exact cost depends on factors such as the size of the sauna, frequency of use, and energy rates in your area. Also noting that regular maintenance and repairs may be required, which can contribute to the overall expense of running a sauna.
Infrared saunas are often cheaper to run than traditional saunas due to the difference between infrared and steam sauna systems. Found—Space infrared saunas are inexpensive to run due to features such as efficient heaters (Ultra Low EMF Carbon Far Infrared Heaters) and insulating materials (first-grade timber walls and a thick glass door).
Are Infrared Saunas Expensive To Run?
How much does it cost to run an infrared sauna in terms of electricity costs will depend on a few different factors:
- How often you use it, how long your sessions are and what temperature you set
- What your local cost per kilowatt-hour is
- When you use it (peak or off-peak times)
- The size of your sauna
To find out how much it will cost to run your infrared sauna multiply your local cost per kilowatt-hour (you can find this on your power bill) by the sauna’s kilowatt rating and how much you will use your infrared sauna. Infrared saunas have very low maintenance requirements too, so ongoing maintenance costs are also low.
