5. Electrical Requirements

The sauna heater is included as part of the complete kit. Customers are strongly advised to consult a qualified electrician before installation.

Typical requirements include:

• A dedicated electrical supply
• Correct cable sizing
• A suitably rated isolator switch
• Compliance with UK electrical regulations (BS 7671)

All heater specifications and wiring instructions are provided with your sauna.

6. Important Notes

• A level, solid base must be prepared before delivery
• Missing or damaged items must be reported within 24 hours of delivery
• Improper or uncertified electrical installations may void the warranty

The electrical supply required will depend on the kW rating of your chosen sauna heater. We strongly recommend consulting with a qualified electrician before any installation.

Typically, a dedicated supply is required—similar to those used for electric showers or cookers. Most domestic sauna heaters in the UK are connected to a single-phase 230V supply, and the Amps can be calculated using:

Watts ÷ Volts = Amps

For example: a 6kW (6000W) heater ÷ 230V = approximately 26 Amps

Below is a general guide for domestic sauna heaters:

Heater Power Current Draw Suggested Cable Size (Single-Phase)

Cable size depends on cable length, installation method, and other on-site factors. Always defer to your electrician’s judgment. Strongly advise that installation is carried out by a fully qualified electrician, and that all work complies with current Government regulations and wiring standards (e.g., BS 7671 in the UK).

Harvia Vega BC60 (6 kW)

The Harvia Vega BC60 6 kW is an ideal and well-matched choice. It offers reliable performance while remaining energy-efficient for this sauna's size.

With a heating range suitable for 5–8 m³, the BC60 is perfectly sized for the BR sauna, delivering consistent heat without unnecessary power consumption. It provides straightforward, dependable sauna heating without WiFi or advanced digital controls—making it a cost-effective and robust option.

Heaters with higher kW ratings will heat a sauna more quickly but also consume more energy. For the BR’s 5.5 m³ volume, the 6 kW BC60 strikes an excellent balance between heat-up time and efficiency.

We strongly recommend consulting a qualified electrician before your sauna arrives to ensure the electrical supply, cable sizing, and isolator meet requirements.

All Harvia Vega BC60 heaters are supplied with stones included.

To ensure the longevity of your product and to maintain your factory warranty, please carefully follow the guidelines below.
