Cheaper Than a Cup of Coffee!
Infrared saunas are becoming increasingly popular due to their health benefits and convenience. However, one common concern among potential buyers is the cost of electricity to run an infrared sauna. In this article, we will cover the topics related to infrared sauna electricity cost and provide a comprehensive guide to help you make an informed decision.
How much Electricity Do One of Your Infrared Saunas Use?
Infrared saunas are designed to create a relaxing and comfortable experience for its users. One of the key components of an infrared sauna is the heating elements that produce infrared heat. These elements require electricity to operate efficiently and provide the desired temperature.
The energy consumption of infrared saunas varies depending on the size, model, and usage time. In the case of our infrared saunas, the energy consumption is 2KW/h. This means that for every hour of usage, the sauna uses 2 kilowatts of electricity. It is worth noting that this is an average value and the energy consumption may vary depending on the sauna model and the temperature settings.
However, our infrared saunas are designed to be energy efficient while still providing the best possible user experience. With this in mind, we have carefully selected the heating elements and other components to ensure that our saunas are cost-effective and eco-friendly.
How Much Does it Cost to Run an Infrared Sauna?
Our infrared home saunas are designed for efficiency and comfort, with an average warm-up time of 10 to 15 minutes. Allowing you to quickly enjoy the benefits of your sauna without waiting for an extended period.
The heating elements in our saunas operate on a 2KWh power supply, which directly impacts the cost of usage. As of 13th April 2023, the average electricity cost in the UK is 31.8 pence per kilowatt-hour. Given this rate, the estimated cost of running the sauna for 20 minutes would be approximately 21.2 pence.
Considering the warm-up phase costs around 10 to 12 pence, the total daily expense for using the sauna for 35 minutes (including warm-up) would range between 31 and 35 pence. It is important to note that these figures may fluctuate as electricity prices change over time. Therefore, it’s essential to stay updated on the current cost of electricity in your region to accurately calculate the expenses associated with using your infrared home sauna.

The Cost of Sauna Therapy: Infrared vs Traditional
Compared to infrared saunas, traditional saunas tend to consume a greater amount of electricity. The power consumption of a traditional sauna that accommodates four or five people typically ranges between 8 and 10 kilowatts. In contrast, infrared saunas have lower energy consumption, making them a more energy-efficient option.
Furthermore, traditional saunas require longer to reach the desired temperature, which adds to their overall energy consumption. They also demand more power to sustain a stable temperature throughout the sauna. Consequently, the operating costs associated with traditional saunas are generally higher than those of infrared saunas.
In summary, an infrared sauna would be a wiser choice if you seek a more cost-effective and energy-efficient alternative due to its lower electricity usage, faster warm-up times, and reduced energy requirements for maintaining a consistent temperature.
How can I calculate the cost of running my infrared sauna?
Calculating the cost of running your infrared sauna requires a few key pieces of information.
Firstly, determine the power rating of your sauna, which is usually listed in kilowatts (kW).
Next, identify the cost of electricity per kilowatt-hour (kWh) in your area. This information can be obtained from your utility provider or by checking your most recent electricity bill. To estimate the cost of running your infrared sauna, multiply the sauna’s power rating by the cost per kWh.
For example, if your sauna has a power rating of 2kW and the cost of electricity is 20p per kWh, then the cost of running your sauna for one hour would be approximately 40p.
It’s important to note that the actual cost may vary based on factors such as usage time, temperature settings, and electricity rates, so regular monitoring of your energy bills is recommended. By following these simple steps, you can easily calculate the cost of running your infrared sauna and make informed decisions about its usage.
Far Cheaper than a Gym or Spa
As previously mentioned, incorporating an infrared sauna into your personal wellness routine doesn’t have to be a financial burden. In fact, it’s a more cost-effective solution compared to frequenting gym or spa facilities.
On average, a gym membership that includes sauna access can cost roughly £60 per month, which equates to £2 per day. However, this only covers the cost of accessing the sauna, not the additional expenses incurred in terms of travel time and fuel costs. When factoring in these expenses, the total cost of visiting a gym or spa can quickly add up, making it an expensive endeavor.
In contrast, investing in an infrared sauna for home use can prove to be a more economical and convenient option. Not only does it eliminate the need for travel, but it also allows you to enjoy the benefits of sauna therapy in the comfort of your own home. Additionally, having a sauna at home enables you to customize the temperature and duration of your sauna sessions based on your personal preference, which may not be possible at a gym or spa facility.
Overall, an infrared sauna can provide a cost-effective and convenient solution to enhancing your wellness routine, while also providing a range of health benefits.
