What moves the price
- Shape: the median cabin costs $1,812 more than the median barrel. The barrel vs cabin comparison sets barrel and cabin saunas side by side on price and specifications.
- Size: the median is $6,292 at 2 persons and $9,174 at 8 persons.
- The circuit: the median outdoor traditional heater in our catalog is rated 8 kW, which on 240 V needs a 45 A breaker with 6 AWG copper, run out to the sauna. That wiring is a separate cost from the sauna, quoted by your electrician. The sauna breaker and wire size chart covers every heater size.
- Running it: at the EIA's U.S. average residential rate of 18.16 cents per kWh, an 8 kW heater drawing its full rating for a one hour session uses about $1.45 of electricity. Your own rate changes that: running cost by state.
