The heater requires a non-GFI 30 amp breaker, single Phase, 220 volts, and 10-gauge wire, as specified on the CSA label. Most people think it needs a GFI breaker but it does not. If you install a GFI breaker it will constantly trip the breaker. The heater is tested and CSA approved for a non-GFI breaker.
We recommend installing a 40 amp breaker into your main panel and then install a sub panel onto the sauna that will split the power to the heater (30 amp) and light (15 amp).
Feel free to reach out to our recommended electrical contractor, Lia Electric Ltd. for any questions regarding setting up a sauna and assessing its compatibility with your electrical panel. It's crucial to ensure that you can supply enough power to the sauna before making a purchase decision. Lia Electric Ltd. can provide valuable insights and guidance, including the possibility of setting up a sauna with your existing electrical panel. You can even send them pictures of your panel for a more accurate assessment and feedback on what is feasible.
Proudly hand built in Canada with Canadian products!
Our workshop is at: 160 Finchdene Square, Unit 11, Scarborough, M1X 1B2.
We don’t have room in our shop to keep a permanent demo unit there but we usually have 2-3 sauna builds going on at the same time so there is a good chance we have a fully built unit for you to come and check out.
We also have a 4 person sauna that was built for testing / using / and showing customers at 3 Hamilton Hall Drive, Markham.
If you want to see a demo, just send us a message and we can let you know if we have one of our latest builds available in our shop or if you should come to Markham.
