📏 Room Sizing Guide
Basic Formula: 1 kW = approximately 1-1.5 m³ sauna room volume
Tylö Sense Sport Combi 4 Coverage: With 4.5 kW output, this heater is specifically designed for compact sauna rooms between 2-4 m³.
Adjustment Factors:
| Condition | Adjustment |
|---|---|
| Glass door or windows | Add 1.2-2 m³ per m² of glass |
| Uninsulated log walls | Add 25-50% to calculated volume |
| Stone, tile or glass walls | Add 1.2-2 m³ per m² of hard surface |
| Outdoor/barrel sauna | Add 25-30% to calculated volume |
| High ceiling (above 2.1m) | Add proportional extra volume |
Worked Example: 📍 Small En-Suite Sauna: 1.5m × 1.2m × 1.9m
- Base volume: 3.42 m³
- Glass door (0.6m × 1.8m = 1.08 m²): +1.6 m³
- Total calculated: 5.02 m³
- With 4.5 kW Sense Sport Combi 4: ✅ Suitable with good insulation
⚠️ Note: Minimum ceiling height of 1900 mm and maximum of 2100 mm required for proper installation.
💷 Running Costs
Energy Rate Used: 26.35p/kWh (Ofgem Price Cap Q4 2025)
Annual Cost Estimates:
| Usage Level | Sessions/Week | Hours/Year | Annual Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🏠 Light Use | 2 | 150 | £178 |
| 🏠 Regular Use | 4 | 300 | £356 |
| 🧖 Heavy Use | 6 | 450 | £533 |
Calculation Formula:
Annual Cost = kW × Hours/Year × £0.2635
Example (Regular Use):
4.5 kW × 300 hours × £0.2635 = £355.73
Per session cost (1.5 hours):
4.5 kW × 1.5 hours × £0.2635 = £1.78 per session
💡 The Split Output technology can reduce actual consumption by up to 30%, potentially lowering these costs further. Actual costs depend on usage patterns, session length, and current energy rates.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What size room will this heater work for? A: The Tylö Sense Sport Combi 4 is specifically designed for compact sauna rooms between 2 and 4 m³. For rooms with glass doors, uninsulated walls, or hard surfaces like tile, add 1.2-2 m³ per square metre of these materials to your calculation.
Q: How long does it take to heat up? A: Typically 30-45 minutes to reach optimal temperature of 60-90°C, depending on room size, insulation quality, and ambient temperature.
Q: What electrical supply do I need? A: You have two options: 400-415V 2N~ supply with 10A circuit and 1.5mm² cable, or 200-240V 1N~/2~ supply with 20A circuit and 4mm² cable. A dedicated circuit with multi-pole isolation is required. Professional installation by a qualified electrician is mandatory.
Q: Are sauna stones included? A: No, stones are sold separately. You will need approximately 7 kg of dolerite/diabase sauna stones (30-50mm diameter). We recommend Tylö brand sauna stones for optimal performance and warranty compliance.
Q: Can I use this for steam only? A: Yes, the Sense Sport Combi 4 offers full steam bath functionality via the built-in steam generator. Fill the water reservoir through the herb grille and activate the steam function. One heating element operates during steam mode to prevent excessive current draw.
