Wall-Mounted 8kW Sauna Heater for Rooms 250–425 cu. ft.
The Harvia KIP80B 8kW electric sauna heater combines a black steel finish with built-in time and temperature controls. Designed for sauna rooms from 250 to 425 cubic feet, this wall-mounted heater operates on 240V single-phase power without a separate control panel.
Built-in delay start lets you plan your sauna session, while the wall-mounted design keeps the floor beneath the heater clear. The KIP80B features dual-wall construction, serviceable heating elements, and direct stone-to-element contact. It is ETL listed and designed and manufactured in Finland.
Built-In Controls and Black Steel Construction
Choose the KIP80B if you want time and temperature controls on the heater itself rather than on a separate wall panel. Its black steel housing suits sauna interiors where a dark heater finish is preferred.
