Sauna Questions, Answered

Everything you need to know about choosing, installing, and enjoying your home sauna.

Choosing Your Sauna

What's the difference between infrared and traditional saunas?

Traditional saunas use an electric or wood-burning heater to warm the air, typically reaching temperatures of 150–195°F. Water can be poured over compatible heated stones to create bursts of steam.

Infrared saunas use infrared heaters to warm your body more directly, generally operating at lower air temperatures. Both provide a relaxing heat experience, but the sensation is different.

The best choice depends on your preferred temperature, heating experience, available space, and personal wellness goals.

Visit our blog post for more information on Traditional vs Infrared saunas.

What is a hybrid sauna?

A hybrid sauna combines infrared heating with a traditional sauna heater, giving you the flexibility to enjoy different heating experiences in one unit.

Some models also include features such as red light therapy, chromotherapy lighting, or Bluetooth audio. Features and operating modes vary by manufacturer.

How do I choose the right sauna size?

Start by considering how many people will regularly use the sauna and how much space you have available.

A 1–2 person sauna is ideal for personal use or couples, while larger 3–6 person models provide additional room for families or entertaining.

We recommend reviewing the exact interior dimensions and bench configuration rather than relying solely on advertised seating capacity.

Can I install a sauna indoors or outdoors?

Yes! We offer saunas designed specifically for indoor or outdoor installation, along with select models approved for both environments.

Indoor saunas are popular in home gyms, bathrooms, and dedicated wellness rooms. Outdoor saunas can transform a patio, backyard, or garden into a private retreat.

Always select a model rated for your intended installation environment and follow the manufacturer's requirements for clearance, ventilation, and weather protection.

How do I know which sauna is right for me?

Consider your preferred heating style, available space, electrical setup, budget, and desired features.

Electrical & Installation

Do home saunas require special electrical wiring?

Electrical requirements vary by sauna model.

Some smaller infrared saunas operate on a dedicated 120V circuit, while many traditional, hybrid, and larger infrared saunas require 240V electrical service.

The exact voltage, amperage, breaker, and circuit requirements are listed in each manufacturer's specifications.

We recommend consulting a licensed electrician before purchasing to confirm your home's electrical compatibility.

Do I need an electrician to install my sauna?

Many infrared saunas are designed for straightforward assembly, but some require dedicated electrical circuits or special receptacles.

Traditional saunas with hardwired heaters generally require professional electrical installation.

Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and applicable electrical codes.

How difficult is it to assemble a sauna?

Assembly requirements depend on the sauna's size and design.

Many indoor infrared saunas feature prefabricated panels that connect together, while traditional outdoor saunas may require more extensive assembly.

Smaller indoor saunas can often be assembled by two adults, while larger outdoor models may require additional people, tools, and time.

We recommend reviewing the manufacturer's assembly manual before delivery.

Do you offer sauna assembly or installation services?

Professional assembly may be available depending on the sauna model and delivery location.

Contact Blue Luxe Living before ordering if you'd like assistance exploring assembly options.

Electrical work, site preparation, and other installation services may need to be arranged separately.

What kind of surface does a sauna need?

Saunas should be installed on a level, stable surface capable of supporting the unit's weight and occupants.

Indoor installations must meet the manufacturer's flooring and clearance requirements.

Outdoor saunas generally require a properly prepared foundation, such as an appropriate concrete pad, paver base, or engineered platform.

Foundation requirements vary by manufacturer and model.

Shipping & Delivery

Do you offer free shipping on saunas?

Many saunas at Blue Luxe Living qualify for free shipping within eligible delivery areas in the contiguous United States.

Some products, including SaunaLife saunas, have additional freight charges. Applicable charges are displayed on the product page and during checkout.

Please review the individual product listing for specific shipping details. 

You can view our Shipping Policy here.

How long does sauna delivery take?

Delivery timelines vary depending on the manufacturer, product availability, and destination.

Some in-stock saunas ship relatively quickly, while larger or specialty models may require additional processing or freight transit time.

Estimated shipping information is provided on individual product pages when available.

Our team can help confirm current availability and estimated delivery expectations before you order.

How will my sauna be delivered?

Most full-size saunas ship by freight carrier due to their size and weight.

Freight delivery is typically curbside, meaning the carrier delivers to an accessible location near your property rather than moving the sauna into your home or backyard.

Delivery services and access requirements vary by manufacturer and carrier.

Customers are responsible for arranging any additional moving assistance or equipment needed unless otherwise specified.

What happens after I place my sauna order?

After you place your order, you'll receive an order confirmation email.

Our team will contact you to verify your shipping address, confirm delivery expectations, and review any important order details.

We require delivery address confirmation before releasing your order to the supplier.

Once your order ships, we'll provide available tracking and delivery information so you can prepare for arrival.

Warranty & Care

Are your saunas covered by a warranty?

Yes. Blue Luxe Living is an authorized dealer for the sauna brands we carry, and eligible products include their applicable manufacturer warranties.

Warranty coverage, duration, and exclusions vary by manufacturer and model.

Please review the warranty information on the individual product page for specific coverage details.

How do I clean and maintain my sauna?

Routine sauna maintenance is generally straightforward.

Allow the sauna to cool before cleaning, wipe down benches and frequently touched surfaces using manufacturer-approved methods, and keep the interior clean and dry between uses.

Using a clean towel on the bench can help protect the wood from perspiration.

Avoid harsh chemicals, excessive moisture, or cleaning products not recommended by the manufacturer.

Outdoor saunas may require additional exterior care depending on the wood type and finish.

How long does a home sauna last?

A well-built sauna can provide many years of enjoyment with proper installation, maintenance, and care.

Longevity depends on construction materials, heating components, frequency of use, environmental exposure, and adherence to the manufacturer's maintenance recommendations.

Ordering & Support

Can I speak with someone before purchasing?

Absolutely! We understand that purchasing a home sauna is a significant investment.

We're happy to help you compare models, review dimensions and electrical requirements, and understand delivery and assembly expectations.

Do you offer financing or payment plans?

Eligible purchases may qualify for installment payment options through participating payment providers available at checkout.

Available plans, payment terms, and approval requirements depend on the provider and individual eligibility.

Review the options presented at checkout for details.

Can I return or cancel a sauna order?

Return and cancellation eligibility varies based on the product, manufacturer, and order status.

Because saunas are large specialty items, certain orders may be subject to restocking fees, return freight charges, or other restrictions.

Please review our Refund and Return Policy before purchasing and contact us promptly if you need to request a change or cancellation.
