Harvia Virta Pro HL160E 16kW Commercial Electric Sauna Heater

Heavy-Duty Electric Sauna Heater for Rooms 354–918 cu ft | 240V / 1-Phase | Stainless Steel | Made in Finland

The Harvia Virta Pro HL160E is a 16kW commercial-grade electric sauna heater built for large, high-demand sauna environments from 354 to 918 cubic feet. Designed for health clubs, spas, hotels, apartment buildings, and other heavy-use installations, it combines industrial-grade serviceable heating elements, a 200 lb stone capacity, and stainless steel construction for dependable long-term performance.

The heating elements are divided into two groups for reliable heavy-duty operation, and direct rock-to-heating-element contact ensures efficient heat transfer. Side-wall or floor-mounted installation options provide flexibility for a variety of sauna layouts. Designed, engineered, and made in Finland.

Important: A compatible sauna control, power extension unit, and sauna stones are required and sold separately. This heater requires a 240V / 1-phase electrical connection at 66.7A across 2 circuits — consult a licensed electrician before purchase.

Who This Is For

The Virta Pro HL160E is the right choice for commercial sauna operators, spa and hotel facility managers, and large residential installations that require a high-output, heavy-duty electric heater with professional-grade serviceability. It requires a compatible control and power extension unit — it cannot be operated as a standalone unit.
