Home sauna installation: a planning checklist

Measure the space and delivery route, then confirm the final drawing, electrical requirements and installation responsibilities before ordering.

By EVEXIA WELLNESS · Updated November 1, 2026

1. Measure more than the footprint.

Record available width, depth and ceiling height. Account for the door swing, servicing access and manufacturer-required clearances. Measure the delivery path, including gates, stairs, corners and doorways.

2. Prepare the location.

Ask which floor or base the selected cabin requires. For an outdoor installation, confirm the specified roof, drainage, weather exposure and anchoring requirements. Do not assume an indoor cabin is suitable outdoors.

3. Confirm the electrical specification.

Request the model’s voltage, frequency, phase, rated power and circuit requirements. Give these to a qualified local electrician. Do not choose a socket or circuit from a generic online guide.

4. Agree on ventilation and clearances.

Follow the final cabin and heater manuals. Verify the ventilation layout, separation from surrounding surfaces and any local approval requirements with the installer.

5. Clarify handover.
