Our Sauna Installation Services
A sauna is only as good as its installation. Poor insulation, wrong wiring, or bad ventilation does not just reduce performance — it creates genuine safety risks. Our installation service covers the complete project from start to finish.
| Stage | What We Do |
|---|---|
| Consultation and site assessment | We assess your space, power supply, ventilation, and intended use |
| Design and planning | We recommend the right sauna type, size, and heater capacity for your needs |
| Construction | We build the sauna room with proper insulation, vapour barriers, and moisture-resistant panelling |
| Heater and control installation | We install the heater, thermostat, timer, and control panel to manufacturer specifications |
| Electrical wiring | Certified electricians connect and test all electrical components safely |
| Testing and handover | We test the sauna to full temperature and train you on safe operation and upkeep |
Sauna Repairs and Maintenance
Even a well-installed sauna develops faults over time. Our repair team diagnoses and fixes problems quickly, using genuine parts, so your sauna returns to full service with minimal downtime.
Common sauna faults we repair include:
- Heater not reaching the correct temperature
- Sauna not heating at all
- Faulty or inaccurate thermostat and timer
- Tripping circuit breakers or RCD faults
- Damaged heating elements and burned-out stones
- Control panel and keypad failures
- Interior lighting faults
- Warped or damaged benching and panelling
- Door seal and hinge problems letting heat escape
- Poor ventilation causing discomfort or damage to the timber
Maintenance tip: Sauna heaters work best when the stones are inspected and rearranged a few times each year. Dust and loose stones reduce heat circulation and can shorten element life. A professional service visit — checking the stones, elements, thermostat, and wiring — keeps your sauna efficient and safe.
How Often Should a Sauna Be Serviced?
| Sauna Type | Recommended Service Interval |
|---|---|
| Private home sauna | Once every 12 months |
| Hotel or guesthouse sauna | Every 6 to 12 months |
| Gym or spa sauna (daily use) | Every 3 to 6 months |
| Wood-fired sauna | Every 6 months, plus chimney inspection |
Commercial saunas in gyms and spas should be serviced more frequently because heavy daily use wears elements, thermostats, and benching much faster than occasional home use.

Signs Your Sauna Needs Professional Attention
- The sauna takes far longer than usual to heat up
- The room never reaches the set temperature
- A burning smell or visible scorching near the heater
- The breaker trips whenever the sauna is switched on
- Loud or unusual noises from the heater
- Visible damage to benches, walls, or the door seal
If you notice any of these, switch off the sauna at the isolator and call a technician. Electrical faults inside a sauna should never be handled as do-it-yourself repairs.
