Harvia Virta 8 kW Freestanding Electric Sauna Heater

The Harvia Virta 8 kW Freestanding Electric Sauna Heater is a premium freestanding heater designed for medium-sized home saunas and light commercial use, offering quiet operation, consistent heat, and long-term reliability.

With a generous stone capacity, the Virta delivers smooth, even steam and stable temperatures. Its heating elements are positioned separately from the stones, improving airflow and extending component lifespan—ideal for frequent or extended sauna sessions. A front-access service hatch allows for quick maintenance without removing stones, making upkeep simple and efficient.

This model operates with the Harvia Xenio digital control unit (sold separately) and supports Wi-Fi connectivity through the MyHarvia mobile app, giving you precise control and remote scheduling.

Built in Finland by Harvia, the Virta 8 kW combines modern design, durability, and authentic Finnish sauna craftsmanship.

Note: Sauna stones and control unit are sold separately.
