Harvia Virta 8 kW Electric Sauna Heater

The Harvia Virta 8 kW is a premium freestanding electric sauna heater designed for medium-sized sauna rooms (177–431 ft³ / 5–12 m³). Built for frequent and extended use, it combines modern design, quiet operation, and exceptional reliability—perfect for dedicated sauna enthusiasts and light commercial applications.

With a stone capacity of 110 lb (50 kg), the Virta produces smooth, even steam and steady heat. Its heating elements are separated from the stones, extending their lifespan and improving airflow for consistent temperature distribution. For easy upkeep, a front-mounted maintenance hatch provides quick access to all electrical connections—allowing for fast servicing and simple heating element replacement without removing the stones.

Engineered for durability, efficiency, and convenience, the Harvia Virta reflects authentic Finnish craftsmanship at its best. This model requires the Harvia Xenio CX45-U1-U3-XW digital control unit (sold separately), which supports Wi-Fi connectivity via the MyHarvia mobile app for remote control and scheduling.
