💷 Running Costs
Energy Rate Used: £0.2635/kWh (Ofgem UK average, Q4 2025)
The Tylö Infra Panel’s 300W (0.3 kW) output makes it remarkably economical to operate compared to traditional 6-10kW sauna heaters.
Annual Cost Calculation:
| Usage Level | Sessions/Week | Hours/Year | Annual Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🏠 Light Use | 2 | 100 | £7.91 |
| 🏠 Regular Use | 4 | 200 | £15.81 |
| 🧖 Heavy Use | 7 | 350 | £27.67 |
Calculation Formula:
Annual Cost = kW × Hours/Year × £0.2635
Example (300W panel, Regular Use):
0.3 kW × 200 hours × £0.2635 = £15.81 per year
Per Session Cost:
- 30-minute session: Approximately 4p
- 45-minute session: Approximately 6p
- 60-minute session: Approximately 8p
💰 Compared to traditional electric sauna heaters (6-10kW), infrared panels use 95% less electricity whilst delivering effective therapeutic heat.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I install this panel in my existing traditional sauna? A: Yes, absolutely. The Tylö Infra Panel is specifically designed to be added to existing traditional sauna rooms, creating a hybrid installation. This allows you to enjoy infrared sessions independently or combine both heating methods. You’ll need a compatible Tylö control panel to manage the IR panels.
Q: What electrical supply does this panel require? A: The 300W panel operates on standard 230V and draws only 1.3 amps. However, it must be connected through a Tylö control panel (Elite, IR Timer, or Commercial Lite Relay Box) rather than plugged directly into a wall socket. A qualified electrician should complete the installation.
Q: How long does it take to heat up? A: One of the key advantages of infrared panels is instant operation. Unlike traditional sauna heaters that require 30-60 minutes preheating, infrared panels begin emitting therapeutic heat immediately upon switching on. You’ll feel warmth within moments.
Q: What’s the difference between infrared and traditional sauna heat? A: Traditional saunas heat the air to high temperatures (70-100°C), which then heats your body. Infrared panels emit radiant heat at specific wavelengths (8.4-9.4 microns) that penetrate directly into your body without significantly heating the surrounding air. This allows comfortable sessions at 40-60°C whilst achieving deep tissue warming.
Q: How many panels do I need for my sauna? A: As a guide, allow approximately 150-200W of infrared power per person capacity. For a 2-person sauna, a 300W rear panel plus two 100W side panels (500W total) provides excellent coverage. Contact Parts4Tubs for specific sizing advice.
Q: Is this panel waterproof? Can I pour water on it? A: No. Infrared panels are designed for dry use only. Never pour water on or near the panel. If you want the traditional löyly (steam) experience, this panel can be installed alongside a traditional Tylö heater with stones in a hybrid configuration.
Q: What is the warranty coverage? A: Tylö provides a 2-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Installation must follow the manufacturer’s guidelines by a qualified professional.
Q: Can this panel be used for commercial applications? A: Yes. The Tylö Infra Panel is suitable for both residential and commercial installations. For commercial use, the Commercial Lite Relay Box control option is recommended, and professional installation is essential for compliance with commercial building regulations.
