FAQ - All You Need To Know!
Are saunas practical in New Jersey’s humid climate?
Yes. In fact, saunas perform very well in New Jersey when they’re properly designed. Because summers can be humid and winters cold, we focus heavily on insulation, airflow, and moisture management. Our custom sauna designs ensure comfortable sessions year-round—whether you’re warming up after winter weather or unwinding during a humid summer evening.
Will an outdoor sauna withstand New Jersey winters and coastal moisture?
Yes. Outdoor saunas are built with weather-resistant materials, proper drainage, and insulation designed for freezing temperatures and fluctuating moisture levels. For coastal or high-humidity areas, we also incorporate exterior treatments and construction methods that protect against long-term exposure while maintaining performance and safety.
How much electricity does a home sauna typically consume?
Most modern sauna heaters are designed with efficiency in mind. A standard residential electric sauna uses roughly the same amount of power as common household appliances like an oven or clothes dryer during heat-up, then cycles to maintain temperature. Infrared saunas consume even less energy because they operate at lower air temperatures. We size every system correctly for your space to keep operating costs predictable and efficient.
What’s the difference between traditional steam saunas and infrared saunas?
* Traditional or steam-style saunas heat the air, creating a hot environment that encourages deep sweating and relaxation.
* Infrared saunas heat the body directly using radiant panels, allowing for therapeutic benefits at lower air temperatures.
Both options support detoxification, muscle recovery, and stress relief. Your choice depends on comfort preference, heat tolerance, and wellness goals—some homeowners even choose hybrid systems to enjoy both experiences.
Can a sauna be installed in a basement, garage, or lower level?
Definitely. Basements, garages, and finished lower levels are some of the most popular locations for home saunas in New Jersey. With correct ventilation, electrical planning, and moisture control, these spaces can be transformed into reliable, comfortable wellness rooms without disrupting the rest of your home.
Does adding a sauna increase home value?
In many cases, yes. A custom sauna is viewed as a premium wellness feature that appeals to buyers seeking relaxation and health-focused amenities at home. In competitive New Jersey markets, a professionally designed sauna can enhance both property appeal and perceived value.
Can New Jersey businesses install commercial saunas?
Yes. We design and build commercial saunas for fitness centers, spas, wellness studios, hotels, and multi-use properties throughout New Jersey. Commercial systems are engineered for frequent use, safety compliance, and consistent performance, ensuring guests enjoy a comfortable and reliable sauna experience every day.
What kind of upkeep does a sauna require?
Saunas are designed to be simple to maintain. Routine care typically includes wiping down surfaces, allowing proper airflow after use, and performing occasional exterior wood treatments for outdoor units. When installed correctly, heaters and electrical components require minimal ongoing maintenance. We provide clear care guidelines specific to your sauna type and location.
How large can a custom sauna be?
Sauna size is completely flexible. Most indoor residential saunas are designed for 2–4 users, while outdoor or commercial saunas can be built to accommodate larger groups. During the planning phase, we’ll tailor the layout based on how you plan to use the space—whether for solo sessions, family use, or entertaining.
Are smart features and modern upgrades available?
Absolutely. Many homeowners choose to add digital temperature controls, smartphone-enabled timers, built-in sound systems, or chromotherapy lighting. These upgrades can be incorporated into traditional, infrared, or hybrid saunas to create a more personalized and tech-forward experience.
