Electrical & Site Preparation
The Harvia SW80 8.0 kW stove requires dedicated 240V/40A service. Lights, controls, and audio require separate 120V/15A service. Electrical preparation is not plug-and-play and must be completed by a licensed electrician under the current manuals and local code. Install the sauna on a properly prepared, level, stable base in an approved outdoor location. Verify foundation, anchoring, drainage, ventilation, weather clearance, access, permitting, and electrical requirements before ordering.
Warranty
Supplier-family documentation lists a 5-year warranty on electronic components and a 1-year warranty on the stove. Coverage, exclusions, registration requirements, outdoor-use conditions, maintenance obligations, and claims are governed by the written Golden Designs and stove-manufacturer warranties.
