Frequently Asked Questions

Does an Amerec heater include sauna rocks?
No. Amerec heaters ship without sauna rocks. Rocks must be purchased separately. Amerec-compatible sauna stones are available in our accessories collection. Call 866-861-6317 to bundle rocks with your heater order and reduce freight costs.
What electrical connection does an Amerec heater need?
All Amerec heaters require a dedicated 240V circuit installed by a licensed electrician. The circuit amperage requirement depends on the heater wattage — typically 20A for heaters up to 4.5 kW, 30A for 6–9 kW, and 40–60A for 9–18 kW models. Confirm the electrical requirements for your specific model before installation planning.
Can I add a WiFi control to my existing Amerec heater?
The Xenio WiFi upgrade kit is compatible with specific Amerec heater models. Confirm compatibility for your specific heater model before purchasing the Xenio kit. Call 866-861-6317 for compatibility confirmation.
