Description
The Harvia KIP80W 8kW Sauna Heater is a traditional wall-mounted electric heater designed to deliver powerful performance and an authentic Finnish sauna experience. Finished in durable black steel, the heater combines a classic sauna appearance with excellent corrosion resistance and long-term durability.
The KIP80W operates with the Harvia Xenio digital control system (sold separately), allowing convenient temperature and timer control through a modern wall-mounted interface.
Its dual-wall construction helps keep the outer surface cooler to the touch while allowing the heater to warm up quickly. The large stone capacity ensures even heat distribution and produces authentic löyly steam when water is poured over the hot stones.
Designed and manufactured in Finland, Harvia heaters are trusted worldwide for their craftsmanship and dependable sauna performance.
Heating Performance
The Harvia KIP80W delivers 8.0kW of heating power, making it ideal for sauna rooms ranging from 250 to 425 cubic feet.
Harvia’s advanced heating elements provide fast warm-up times and consistent heat distribution, helping your sauna reach and maintain the desired temperature efficiently.
The heater requires 50 pounds of sauna stones, which absorb heat from the elements and gradually radiate warmth throughout the sauna room. Pouring water over the stones creates traditional Finnish löyly steam.
