📏 Room Sizing Guide

Basic Sizing Principle: For standard, well-insulated saunas, allow approximately 1 kW per 1-1.3 m³ of room volume.

This 6kW Harvia Moderna V60XE is suitable for:

• Minimum room volume: 5 m³
• Maximum room volume: 8 m³

Adjustment Factors for Accurate Sizing:

Condition	Adjustment Required
Glass door or windows	Add +1.5 m³ per m² of glass area
Uninsulated or log cabin walls	Add +25-50% to calculated volume
Outdoor or barrel sauna installation	Add +25-30% to calculated volume
Ceiling height exceeding 2.3 m	Calculate additional volume above 2.3 m
Tile or stone interior surfaces	Add +20% to calculated volume

💡 Worked Example:

📍 Example Room: 2.0 m × 1.6 m × 2.2 m

• Base volume: 2.0 × 1.6 × 2.2 = 7.04 m³
• Glass door (0.7 m × 1.9 m = 1.33 m²): Add +2.0 m³
• Adjusted total: 9.04 m³
• Recommendation: This heater suits the base room perfectly. With the glass door adjustment, consider upgrading to an 8kW model, or ensure excellent insulation to compensate.

📍 Ideal Room Example: 1.8 m × 1.5 m × 2.1 m

• Base volume: 1.8 × 1.5 × 2.1 = 5.67 m³
• Well-insulated, solid wooden door
• Result: ✅ This 6kW Moderna is perfectly matched

💷 Running Costs

Energy Rate Used: £0.245/kWh (UK average based on Ofgem Price Cap Q4 2024 – Direct Debit rate)

Estimated Annual Running Costs:

Usage Level	Sessions/Week	Approx. Hours/Year	Annual Cost
🏠 Light Use	2	150	£220
🏠 Regular Use	4	300	£441
🧖 Heavy Use	6+	450	£661

Calculation Method:

Annual Cost = Power (kW) × Hours/Year × Rate (£/kWh)

Example (Regular Use - 4 sessions per week):
6 kW × 300 hours × £0.245 = £441 per year

Per Session Cost Estimate:

Assuming a typical 1.5-hour sauna session:

• Energy consumption: 6 kW × 1.5 hours = 9 kWh
• Cost per session: 9 kWh × £0.245 = approximately £2.21 per session

⚠️ Actual costs depend on your usage patterns, session duration, room insulation quality, and prevailing energy tariffs. Energy prices are subject to change – please verify current rates with your supplier.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What size room will this heater work for?

A: The Harvia Moderna V60XE 6kW is designed for sauna rooms between 5 and 8 cubic metres. For rooms with glass doors, uninsulated walls, or in outdoor installations, add 25-50% to your base volume calculation when sizing.

Q: How long does it take to heat up the sauna?

A: Heat-up time varies depending on room size, insulation quality, and starting temperature. For a well-insulated 6 m³ room, expect approximately 30-45 minutes to reach bathing temperature. The integrated Xenio controls allow you to programme the heater to start before you’re ready to use it.

Q: What electrical supply do I need?

A: This heater offers flexible installation options. For 400V three-phase supply, you need 3 × 10A fuses with 5 × 1.5 mm² cable. For 230V single-phase, you need a 35A fuse with 3 × 4 mm² cable. A dedicated circuit is required. All electrical work must be completed by a qualified electrician.

Q: Are sauna stones included?

A: No, sauna stones are sold separately. This heater requires 20kg of stones with 5-10 cm diameter. We recommend high-quality olivine diabase or vulcanite stones for optimal performance and steam production.

Q: What is the warranty?

A: Harvia provides warranty coverage on their electric heaters. Please contact Parts4Tubs for full warranty terms and conditions applicable to your purchase.

Q: Can I control the sauna from my phone?

A: Yes, with the optional Xenio WiFi accessory (WX319). Once installed, you can connect to the MyHarvia app to start your sauna remotely, monitor temperature, and adjust settings from your smartphone.

Q: Can this heater be installed outdoors?

A: This heater is rated IPX4 for interior wet area use. It can be installed in garden sauna buildings that provide protection from direct weather exposure. For true outdoor installations exposed to the elements, additional weatherproofing measures would be required.
