FAQ - All You Need To Know!
Do saunas perform well in Connecticut’s changing seasons?
Yes. Custom saunas are well-suited for Connecticut’s mix of humid summers and cold winters. Our designs account for seasonal temperature swings by using proper insulation, moisture control, and ventilation. Whether you’re warming up after a snowy day or relaxing during cooler evenings in summer, your sauna remains comfortable year-round.
How much electricity does a sauna typically use?
Modern electric sauna heaters are designed to be energy-conscious. During the initial heat-up phase, most residential systems draw power similar to common household appliances like a dryer or oven. Infrared sauna panels use even less electricity because they operate at lower ambient temperatures. We properly size every system to your space so you get consistent heat without unnecessary energy waste.
What’s the difference between a steam sauna and an infrared sauna?
* Traditional or steam saunas heat the air and sauna stones, creating a hot environment that encourages intense sweating and deep relaxation.
* Infrared saunas use radiant heat to warm the body directly, allowing for therapeutic benefits at lower air temperatures, including muscle relief and improved circulation.
The right choice depends on your comfort level and wellness goals. Some homeowners choose hybrid systems to enjoy both styles in one sauna.
Are outdoor saunas durable enough for Connecticut winters?
Yes. Our outdoor saunas are built with weather-resistant materials and high-performance insulation designed to handle snow, freezing temperatures, and coastal moisture. Foundations, roofing, and exterior finishes are selected to ensure long-term durability in New England conditions.
Can a sauna be installed in a basement or garage?
Absolutely. Basements, garages, and unused rooms are some of the most popular locations for home saunas in Connecticut. With correct electrical planning, ventilation, and moisture management, these spaces can be transformed into quiet, private wellness retreats without affecting the rest of the home.
Can Connecticut businesses install commercial saunas?
Yes. We design and install commercial saunas for fitness centers, spas, yoga studios, hotels, apartment complexes, and wellness facilities across Connecticut. Our commercial sauna builds are engineered for frequent daily use, prioritizing safety compliance, durability, and a consistently comfortable experience for guests and members.
Will adding a sauna increase my home’s value?
In many cases, yes. A custom sauna is viewed as a premium wellness feature that attracts buyers seeking comfort, relaxation, and health-focused amenities. In competitive Connecticut real estate markets, a professionally designed sauna can enhance both lifestyle appeal and overall property value.
Are smart or technology upgrades available?
Absolutely. Many homeowners and businesses choose to include modern features such as digital control panels, programmable timers, mobile app connectivity, Bluetooth audio systems, and chromotherapy lighting. These upgrades can be incorporated into both traditional and infrared saunas to create a refined, spa-like environment.
How many people can a custom sauna accommodate?
Capacity is fully customizable. Most indoor residential saunas are designed for two to four users, while larger outdoor or commercial saunas can comfortably accommodate six to ten or more. During the design phase, we’ll plan the layout based on how you intend to use the sauna—whether for personal relaxation, family use, or entertaining.
What type of maintenance does a sauna require?
Saunas are designed to be simple to maintain. Routine care typically includes wiping down surfaces, allowing proper ventilation after use, and periodically inspecting wood finishes—especially for outdoor units. When installed correctly, heaters and electrical components require minimal attention. We provide clear, sauna-specific maintenance guidance to keep your system performing its best.
