Do Electric Saunas Consume a lot of Energy?

Release time:May 13,2026

Most sauna users say they don't even notice a change in their electric bills after their sauna is built. The cost to operate a sauna can easily be calculated. For example, a three-or four-person sauna, used twice a week, will cost less than $5 per month to operate. To calculate a specific monthly usage, simply multiple the kilowatt size of the heater (e.g., 6 kW for a 6x6' sauna) x the electrical rate in your area (e.g., $.08/kWh) x the number of hours used in a month.
