The Sun Home story
How Sun Home started
Sun Home was founded in 2021 by Adam Fischer and Tyler Fish, two sales leads at Impact.com who saw a category split between local pool stores selling sauna kits to affluent buyers and overseas Amazon listings selling unreliable units. They self-funded with $400,000 in sales-commission savings and skipped venture capital. By 2024 the company was at $25M revenue with 50+ employees, all from San Diego. In 2025 Inc 5000 placed them at No. 20 on its fastest-growing private companies list, with the company projecting $50M+ revenue for that year.
What Sun Home builds that nobody else does
Sun Home is the only brand we vet that builds across the full home-wellness stack: infrared and traditional saunas, cold plunges with dedicated ice-making mode, red light therapy panels, and the Eclipse and Pod hybrid cabins that combine full-spectrum infrared with built-in red light panels in one enclosure. The Pro Apex cold plunge reaches 32°F and produces floating ice on a next-generation cooling system. The Vertical Plunge does the same on an inflatable platform that stores away when not in use. The Luminar outdoor sauna and Solaris red light line round out the catalog.
What they disclose, and the gaps that remain
Sun Home publishes third-party lab data most competitors do not: EMF measured at 0.5 milligauss at seated position by Vitatech Electromagnetics in January 2025, VOC measured at 27 µg/m³ by VERT Environmental against EPA Method TO-15 in April 2026, and electrical certification by Intertek (ETL and ETL-C). Awards have been published across Fortune, Forbes, Sports Illustrated, Rolling Stone, New York Post, and Garage Gym Reviews. Gaps remain. Manufacturing happens through unnamed OEM partners rather than a vertically integrated factory. The warranty is not transferable, so one resale and the coverage is gone. Cold plunges carry a 1-year warranty against the 2-year warranty offered by Plunge. Returns require 25% restocking plus customer-paid freight in both directions. Sun Home blog posts reference Joe Rogan, but the company has never claimed an official endorsement.

Frequently asked questions
Who founded Sun Home Saunas?
Adam Fischer and Tyler Fish. They met while working in sales at Impact.com and launched Sun Home as a side hustle in 2021, self-funding the company with $400,000 from their sales commission checks.
Where is Sun Home Saunas based?
San Diego, California. The company is headquartered there with 50+ employees and remains independent (no venture capital, no acquirer).
Where are Sun Home saunas manufactured?
Designed in San Diego, produced through OEM partners. Sun Home does not own a manufacturing facility. Quality control is reflected in the ETL, ETL-C, and RoHS certifications carried by every Equinox and Solstice unit.
Is Sun Home BBB accredited?
Yes. Sun Home Saunas has been BBB accredited since December 2025 with an A+ rating and a 4.87/5 average across 67 reviews. As a relatively new accreditation, the complaint history is short, with most complaints concerning delivery timing and assembly difficulty (typical for freight items) rather than warranty or product reliability.
What is Sun Home Saunas warranty?
It varies by product class. The Eclipse, Pod, and Luminar lines carry a limited lifetime warranty on cabinetry and heaters for residential use, with in-home technician service across all 50 states. Equinox and Solstice get 7 years on cabinetry and heaters. Sauna blankets and red light devices get 1 year. Cold plunges get 1 year residential. Warranties are not transferable.
Can I return a Sun Home sauna or cold plunge?
Within 30 days of delivery, if the unit is unused and in its original unopened packaging. A 25% restocking fee applies and the customer pays both outbound and return shipping. Once uncrated, assembled, or used, returns are not accepted. Custom or made-to-order models are non-refundable. Sauna blankets and masks have a 30-day window; red light therapy has 45 days.
How is Sun Home tested for EMF and VOCs?
Sun Home publishes independent third-party test results. EMF tested at 0.5 milligauss at seated position by Vitatech Electromagnetics (January 2025). VOC measured at 27 µg/m³ (rated Low) by VERT Environmental / LA Testing using EPA Method TO-15 (April 2026). Operating temperature independently verified at 165-170°F by Garage Gym Reviews. Lab names and methods are disclosed, which is unusual for the category.
Does Joe Rogan use Sun Home?
Sun Home publishes blog content analyzing Joe Rogan's sauna and cold plunge routines, but does not claim an official endorsement or sponsorship relationship. Rogan has publicly discussed using saunas and cold plunges on his podcast and in interviews, but has not publicly confirmed which specific brands he owns.
How long does Sun Home take to ship?
In-stock items ship within 7 business days. Delivery is curbside only with lift gate service and a scheduled appointment. For outdoor saunas, you need 2-4 helpers and a dolly to move pieces from curb to install location. Damage claims must be noted on the delivery receipt at the time of delivery; concealed damage must be reported within 5 business days.
How does Sun Home compare to Almost Heaven?
Sun Home (founded 2021, independent, San Diego) is full-stack across saunas, cold plunges, and red light therapy, with third-party EMF and VOC testing published. Almost Heaven (founded 1977, owned by Harvia since 2018, Lewisburg WV) focuses on traditional cedar barrel and cabin saunas with Harvia heaters and a limited lifetime warranty. Sun Home leans premium-priced full-stack; Almost Heaven leans cedar-tradition specialist.
