📏 Room Sizing Guide

Basic Sizing Formula:

1 kW = approximately 1-1.5 m³ sauna room volume

The Tylö Sense Elite 8 kW heater is optimally sized for sauna rooms between 6 and 12 cubic metres. When calculating your sauna room size, remember to account for additional factors that affect heating requirements.

Adjustment Factors:

Condition	Adjustment
Glass door or windows	+1.5 m³ per m² of glass
Uninsulated or log walls	+25-50% to calculated volume
Outdoor or barrel sauna	+25-30% to calculated volume
High ceiling (above 2.3m)	Add extra volume calculation

💡 Worked Example:

📍 Example Room: 2.2m × 2.0m × 2.1m

• Base volume: 9.24 m³
• Glass door (0.8m × 2.0m = 1.6 m²): +2.4 m³
• Total calculated volume: 11.64 m³
• Tylö Sense Elite 8 kW capacity: 6-12 m³
• Result: ✅ Excellent match for this installation

💷 Running Costs

Energy Rate Used: £0.265/kWh (Ofgem Price Cap Q4 2025 – 26.35p/kWh)

The Tylö Sense Elite 8 features Split Output technology, which automatically reduces power consumption once your desired temperature is reached. This intelligent energy management can deliver savings of up to 30% compared to conventional sauna heaters.

Annual Cost Estimates:

Usage Level	Sessions/Week	Hours/Year	Annual Cost
🏠 Light Use	2	150	£318
🏠 Regular Use	4	300	£636
🧖 Heavy Use	6	450	£954

Calculation Formula:

Annual Cost = kW × Hours/Year × £0.265

Example (Regular Use - 4 sessions per week):
8 kW × 300 hours × £0.265 = £636 per year

Per session cost (1.5 hour session):
8 kW × 1.5 hours × £0.265 = approximately £3.18 per session

💡 Energy Saving Note: With Split Output technology engaged, actual running costs may be 20-30% lower than these estimates, as the heater automatically reduces power once the target temperature is reached.

⚠️ Actual costs depend on usage patterns, session length, room insulation, and current energy rates. Verify current electricity prices with your supplier.
