  • Compact wall-mounted units and freestanding towers, depending on your room layout.

  • Durable materials and clear documentation for safe, code-compliant installation.

  • Harvia: Cilindro (tower with wrap-around stones), Virta (premium, service-friendly), Forte (integrated control options).

How to choose the right heater

  1. Match kW to room size (cubic feet/meters). Undersized heaters struggle; oversized units cycle more.

  2. Decide wall vs. floor. Wall-mounted saves space; towers often hold more stones for softer steam.

  3. Pick your control style. Basic wall controls are simple; Wi-Fi adds convenience for preheating.

  4. Plan electrical early. Many heaters require a dedicated circuit and professional installation.

An electric heater should feel effortless: steady heat, predictable sessions, and minimal fuss. If you already know your preferred brand or series, jump straight in. If you’re still comparing, use the filters for kW, mounting type, and control options to narrow quickly.
