Cost to own
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Cost per session (3yr basis) | $32.04 |
| Monthly running cost | varies (heater dependent) |
| True delivered price | $4,999 |
| Warranty | 5 years |
Assumptions: electricity at $0.17 per kWh (US average), cost per session over 3 years at about 1 session per week (price divided by 156), sauna running cost at a 30-minute session. These are estimates for comparison, not quotes.
| Ownership | What it means |
|---|---|
| Upkeep | There is no water and no stone bed, so upkeep is the cabin and the emitters. Benches and backrests are wiped down after a session, and the emitter faces are kept clear of dust. Inside, nothing is sealed: sealant and wood protectant are not used anywhere in a sauna, and tired wood is sanded back instead. |
| What you rebuy | Nothing |
| Service life | Carbon fibre and full-spectrum emitters are rated 30,000 to 50,000 hours, which Sun Home puts at 15 to 25 or more years on three 45-minute sessions a week. Ceramic elements are rated far shorter, 5,000 to 10,000 hours, so the emitter type is what sets the replacement clock. |
| Where they fail | Heat output falling below 85% of baseline, the point at which Sun Home puts an emitter due for replacement; Visible cracking of an emitter face; An unexplained rise in energy draw with no change in use |
These apply to the class, not to this record alone, and they are sourced from the manufacturer guidance for it. Anything a source does not state is left out rather than estimated.
