A sauna is no longer a luxury reserved for five-star hotels and international spas. Across Kisumu and Eldoret, homeowners, hotels, gyms, and wellness businesses are installing saunas to relax the body, soothe tired muscles, and add genuine value to their properties. But a sauna is a technical installation — combining heat sources, electrical wiring, ventilation, and specialised timber — and it deserves professional hands from the very first plank to the final health check.
Bestcare Facilities Management provides complete sauna installation and repair services in Kisumu, Eldoret, and the surrounding regions. Whether you are building a new home sauna, upgrading a commercial spa, or reviving a neglected unit at your gym, our certified technicians deliver safe, efficient, and long-lasting results.

Why Install a Sauna?
A well-built sauna is an investment in health and comfort. Regular sauna use is associated with relaxed muscles, improved circulation, stress relief, and a better night's sleep. For businesses, a sauna is a proven revenue driver: hotels, lodges, gyms, and spas use them to attract and retain clients who value wellness.
For Kisumu's lakeside hotels and Eldoret's growing hospitality and sports-training scene, a functional sauna is quickly becoming an expected amenity, not a bonus.

Types of Saunas We Install
Our technicians install and service every major sauna type:
- Traditional Finnish sauna: Dry heat from an electric or wood-fired heater with stones, typically running at 70–90 °C
- Infrared sauna: Panels that heat the body directly at lower air temperatures, ideal for homes and compact spaces
- Steam rooms (hammam):: Moist heat from a steam generator, finished in tile, glass, or acrylic
- Wood-fired sauna: A classic option for rural properties, lodges, and camps
- Combo units: Sauna and steam combinations for hotels and gyms
Each type places different demands on power supply, ventilation, and waterproofing — which is precisely why professional installation matters.

Common Sauna Faults We Repair
Saunas are robust, but they work hard. These are the faults we diagnose most often:
| Symptom | Likely Cause |
|---|---|
| The sauna will not heat | A failed heating element, faulty thermostat, or power supply issue |
| Heating is slow or uneven | Worn elements, insufficient stones, or poor insulation |
| The heater trips the power | An element gone to earth or damaged wiring |
| Unusual burning smell | Dust on the elements, overloaded wiring, or timber too close to the heater |
| Benches or panels cracking | Timber dried out by years of heat, needing replacement |
| Steam room produces no steam | A failed steam generator, clogged line, or faulty water supply |
| Controls or display not working | A defective control panel or sensor |
| Water damage around the unit | Failed waterproofing, sealing, or ventilation faults |
If you notice any of these, call us early. A failed element replaced in time protects the wiring, the heater housing, and the timber around it.
What Sauna Installation Involves
A professional installation follows clear stages:
- Site assessment. We measure the space, check the power supply, and advise on the best sauna type for your needs and budget.
- Design and quotation. You receive a written design and a fixed, itemised quotation.
- Construction. We build the insulated walls and ceiling, install the vapour barrier, and fit sauna-grade timber.
- Electrical work. Our certified electricians install the dedicated heater circuit, controls, and lighting.
- Heater and stones. The heater is mounted, stones are loaded, and the system is commissioned.
- Testing and handover. We heat the sauna fully, test safety cut-outs, and walk you through correct use and maintenance.
