In infrared mode the air stays much gentler, typically \u003cstrong\u003e45 to 60°C\u003c\/strong\u003e, because the emitters warm your body rather than the air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom:5px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf infrared is cooler, is it a weaker session?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.95em;\"\u003eNo, it is a different one. Infrared warms you directly rather than heating the air first, so you sweat at a far lower air temperature. People who find 90°C too much often prefer it, and it lets you stay in for 20 to 40 minutes rather than 10 to 20.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom:5px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I run the stove and infrared at the same time?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.95em;\"\u003eYes. The dual heat control lets you run the Harvia stove, the infrared emitters, or both together, so you can tailor each session rather than being locked into one style of heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom:5px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does it take to heat up?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.95em;\"\u003eThe infrared emitters are usable within a few minutes. The Harvia stove takes longer, as any traditional stove does, since it is heating the air and the stones rather than radiating directly at you. That difference is exactly why a hybrid is useful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom:5px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it need an electrician?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.95em;\"\u003eYes. With a 4.5kW stove and a 2,200W infrared array it needs a dedicated supply, correctly installed. Using a qualified electrician also protects your warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom:5px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the timber really need treating?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.95em;\"\u003eYes, and it is worth doing properly. Hemlock is a quality sauna timber but it is still timber outdoors. A full exterior weatherproofing treatment after installation, kept up over time, is what prevents water ingress and keeps the timber warranty valid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom:5px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many people does it really fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.95em;\"\u003eTwo comfortably, three at a push. It is designed as a couple's sauna rather than a family one.

Start shorter while you get used to the heat, stay hydrated, and listen to your body. If you have a heart condition, are pregnant, or are taking medication, check with your GP before starting sauna use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuestions before you buy?
