Energy-saving sauna

Is an energy-saving sauna right for me?

One of the most important challenges of our time is the well-thought-out use of existing resources. For all those who want a Sauna but still want to act sustainably, we have therefore developed our Karibu energy-saving saunas.

To save energy, our Greenpower energy-saving saunas are equipped with an extra insulated roof, integrated sealing tape, an extra insulated door made of solid wood and insulating glass. In addition, all of our energy-saving saunas are powered by a 3.6 kW heater, also known as plug & play sauna heaters. These stoves have the unbeatable advantage that they can be easily connected to a standard household socket. You don't need a high-voltage current, but 230 V is enough. In contrast to a high-voltage stove, for which an electrician has to lay an extra cable, our energy-saving saunas can be easily connected yourself. This not only saves time, but also costs for the electrician. Plug into the socket – done!

With its 3.6 kW, an energy-saving sauna heater requires much less energy than a high-voltage heater. Although a 3.6 kW heater reaches a maximum of 80 °C, this sauna temperature is absolutely sufficient for most people and especially for sauna beginners. With the right Sauna Accessories , the difference to a conventional sauna is hardly noticeable. So you can enjoy a carefree sauna feeling!

That's how much electricity you save with an energy-saving sauna!

The sauna heaters for our energy-saving saunas require much less electricity than conventional high-voltage sauna heaters. With a stove output of 3.6 kW and a sauna enjoyment of 2 sauna sessions (including warm-up phase), the following calculation results:

2 hours x 3.6 kW = approx. €0.33 / kWh = approx. €2.00

For example, a sauna session with an energy-saving sauna costs almost as little as a hot full bath. With such an economical sauna, you can still treat yourself to this pleasure in this day and age.

The special features – What makes a sauna an energy-saving sauna?

To heat up a sauna and keep the sauna temperature constant, you need energy. In order to save energy when taking a sauna, you can adjust the energy supply on the one hand and the energy loss on the other. To turn a sauna into an energy-saving sauna, Karibu relies on several aspects:

1. A 230 V sauna heater is used as a sauna heater for our energy-saving saunas, which consumes less energy than a high-voltage heater.

2. Karibu energy-saving saunas are built as compactly as possible so that not too much interior has to be heated.

3. The sauna cabin is particularly well insulated so that as little heat as possible can escape and correspondingly less energy is needed for reheating.

4. In addition, care is taken to ensure high-quality, seamless workmanship of wall and deck elements so that heat cannot escape through gaps.

Energy-saving tips for a particularly economical sauna

Buying an energy-saving sauna from Karibu is the first step towards economical saunas. In addition, the following energy-saving tips will help:

·       To save additional energy when taking a sauna, you should be careful not to heat up the sauna too long in advance.

·    The sauna can be switched off before the last sauna session, because wood stores heat for a very long time.

·       The door to your energy-saving sauna should only be kept open for as long as it is absolutely necessary.

Where is the best place to set up an energy-saving sauna?

Energy-saving saunas have compact dimensions so that there is no need to heat up too much space. Accordingly, our Greenpower saunas take up very little space. Often a niche in the bathroom or corridor is enough to treat yourself to the sauna pleasure with an energy-saving sauna. But a small sauna can also be accommodated well in the basement or in an attic room. However, you should keep in mind that there should be about 10 cm of space around the sauna to the walls and also to the ceiling so that the air can circulate better. Otherwise, you can place your energy-saving sauna in the house where it suits you best.

In order not to lose any additional energy due to too cold outside air, an energy-saving sauna with a 3.6 kW stove is only available as a Home sauna recommended. For outdoor use, you should rather use a Garden sauna with a stronger furnace performance.

Is an energy-saving sauna also suitable for a steam bath?

Our Greenpower energy-saving saunas are available with different stoves. In addition to a classic Finnish plug & play sauna heater, there are also 3.6 kW bio combi heaters. These sauna heaters have an additional evaporator unit, so that in addition to a dry Finnish sauna, a herbal steam cure, a soft steam bath moist warm and a family bath can be enjoyed. The family pool is also suitable for children and an energy-saving sauna with bio combi stove is highly recommended, especially for families.
