How much electricity does a sauna use at home?Updated 7 hours ago

A home sauna generally uses significantly less electricity than a household air conditioner. The estimates below are based on a solo sauna used three to four times per week for approximately 30–40 minutes per session:

  • 3.76 kWh per week
  • 15 kWh per month
  • 45 kWh per quarter

Actual electricity consumption may be lower, as the heating system cycles on and off once the desired temperature is reached.

While electricity usage will vary between sauna sizes and models, the recommended usage applies to all saunas. For general wellness use, non-professional athletes should limit sauna sessions to approximately three to four times per week, for around 30 minutes per session.
