The Harvia Virta HL Electric Sauna Heater is built for those who value reliability, comfort, and style in their sauna. Designed with a strong steel frame and generous stone capacity, it provides soft, abundant steam and quick heating for a truly relaxing experience. Its modern black finish and compact form make it a perfect fit for both home and professional saunas.
FEATURES

Sturdy & Timeless Design
The Harvia Virta HL’s floor-mounted structure ensures durability and effortless maintenance. The heating elements are separated from the stones, extending their lifespan, while the front maintenance hatch allows quick servicing without disturbing the stone setup.
High Stone Capacity
Supports up to 70 kg of sauna stones (model dependent), providing excellent heat retention for long-lasting, gentle steam or stronger bursts depending on water application. This ensures a consistent and immersive sauna experience.
Durable Steel Construction
Crafted from high-quality steel with a modern black finish, the Virta HL is built to withstand heat and moisture while ensuring lasting durability. Its robust structure makes it suitable for both home and professional saunas.
Optimized Heat Circulation
Efficient airflow around the stones allows the Virta HL to heat the sauna quickly while distributing warmth evenly. This design not only enhances comfort but also improves energy efficiency during longer sessions.
Controller Sold Separately
The Harvia Virta HL requires a compatible control unit (sold separately) for operation. This allows flexible setup options, giving you the freedom to choose the controller that best suits your sauna needs.

Safety Features
Equipped with built-in temperature sensors and overheating protection, the Virta HL ensures safe and reliable operation in any sauna environment. Its design also supports integration with external safety devices, such as a door switch, for enhanced peace of mind during use.
Instructions for Using Your Harvia Sauna Heater

Piling of the Sauna Stones
Properly arranging sauna heater stones is essential for both safety and warranty compliance. Follow these guidelines:
Use suitable sauna stone materials such as peridotite, olivine diabase, olivine, and vulcanite.
- Only use cleavage surfaces and/or rounded stones on your sauna heater.
- If heating elements come into contact with the stones, use rounded stones only in the outer layers of the stone space.
- Decorative stones should be placed loosely to allow air circulation and should not touch heating elements.
- Stones should be 5–15 cm in diameter.
- Wash off dust from the stones before piling them into the heater.
- When placing the stones, don’t drop stones into the heater.
- Don’t wedge stones between heating elements.
- Space stones to ensure proper air circulation.
- Pile stones to support each other rather than placing the weight on heating elements.
- Avoid forming a high pile of stones on top of the heater.
- Don’t place any objects or devices inside or near the heater that could alter airflow.
Heater Maintenance
Sauna stones can disintegrate due to temperature fluctuations. Rearrange stones at least annually, or more often with frequent sauna use.
Remove any disintegrated stones from the heater’s bottom and replace them with new ones to maintain optimal heating and prevent overheating.
Heating Your Sauna with Harvia Sauna Heater
When using the heater for the first time, both the heater and stones may emit odors. Efficiently ventilate the sauna room to remove these odors. If the heater’s output matches the sauna room’s size, it will take about an hour for a properly insulated sauna to reach the desired bathing temperature. The sauna stones typically reach this temperature simultaneously with the sauna room.
