Can I plug an infrared sauna into a normal socket?

Some 1–2 person models run from a standard 13 A socket. Larger cabins need a dedicated circuit fitted by a registered electrician – each model page lists its power requirement.

How much does an infrared sauna cost to run in the UK?

Typically 40–60p per session for a 2-person model at around 25p/kWh, including warm-up.

Infrared or traditional – which is better?

Infrared is gentler, quicker to heat and cheaper to run. Traditional saunas give higher temperatures and steam. Many customers choose based on how often they will use it and whether they want löyly.

How an infrared sauna works

Instead of heating the air to 80–100 °C, infrared panels warm your body directly. The cabin sits at a comfortable 45–65 °C, it is ready in around 15 minutes, and most people find they can stay in longer than in a traditional sauna.

What to look for

Full-spectrum heaters (near, mid and far infrared) for a deeper, more even heat.
Low EMF – our heaters are tested for ultra-low electromagnetic fields.
Power supply – smaller 1–2 person models can often run from a standard 13 A socket; larger cabins need a dedicated circuit.
Red light – models such as Eclipse add red light panels to the session.

Running costs

A 2-person infrared sauna typically draws 1.5–2 kW. At around 25p per kWh, a 45-minute session including warm-up costs roughly 40–60p.
