The KIP is hardwired by a licensed electrician, with no plug. Confirm your supply and room before you choose an output.
Have these ready before ordering
This package pairs a Harvia KIP sauna heater, a wall-mounted electric sauna heater, with a Xenio CX170 touch panel, a WiFi upgrade and one 44 lb box of stones. Choose 4.5, 6 or 8 kW for rooms from 100 to 425 cu ft.
The KIP itself has no dials. You set temperature, run time and the pre-set start on the Xenio panel, then check the sauna in the MyHarvia app. Harvia's manual says to allow at least 30 minutes for the room to reach sauna temperature.

Check before ordering
The app can start the heater only after an electrician adds a safety switch or door switch. That switch is sold separately.

The 6 kW KIP is rated for 170 to 300 cu ft (4.8 to 8.5 m³), with 28 to 40 sq ft of floor. The 4.5 kW and 8 kW ranges are in the Specifications table. Every output needs a ceiling of at least 75 in (1900 mm) in the USA.
The heater is the same KIP-W model. This package adds the Xenio CX170 panel, power unit, sensor, data cable, WiFi upgrade and one box of stones. The KIP heater on its own has no controls and cannot run until a Xenio control is wired to it.
It runs on 240 V 1-phase or, for the 6 and 8 kW, 208 V 3-phase. A licensed electrician hardwires it with copper wire rated 194°F (90°C) inside sauna walls. The manual specifies a 2-pole breaker, never a GFI type.
Yes, once a safety switch or door switch is wired in. Without one, the MyHarvia app can still show status and change settings. Per the Xenio manual, remote start is blocked for 6 hours after the heater was last turned off.
In home saunas the Xenio limits on-time to 1 hour per start. Longer on-time settings, up to 18 hours, are for commercial saunas only. The pre-set timer can delay the start by 10 minutes to 12 hours.
Yes. The Xenio has a light output and a fan output, each up to 100 W at 120 V. Harvia's manual calls for a vapor-proof wall light, with a bulb of no more than 75 W, kept away from the heater.
Yes. The package includes one 44 lb (20 kg) box of Harvia AC3000 split-face olivine diabase stones. Harvia lists the KIP stone capacity as 44 lb, so one box fills the heater.
Wash the stones first. Place smaller stones low, then larger ones, loosely between and around the elements. Stop about 2 in (50 mm) below the stone guard. The elements must be fully covered. A Harvia video on the Videos tab shows the method.
Use clean tap water only. Pool, spa and well water can damage the elements and void the warranty. Harvia says to heat the sauna for at least 30 minutes first, then pour one or two dippers at a time.
Harvia's manual says stones may need replacing after about 5 years of use, if they have crumbled or turned to powder. Extra AC3000 boxes are listed on the Package tab.
Buying for yourself, spread the cost through Affirm at checkout. Buying for a gym, clinic, spa, or studio, apply with one of four business lenders and put the whole room on a single application.
RecovAthlete has no control over any financing decision. Approval is based on your creditworthiness and is solely the lender's decision.
Affirm at checkout. Rates run 0% to 36% APR based on your credit profile. Soft check to prequalify, so no impact on your score. No prepayment penalty.
Brickhouse Capital, Reliant Capital, Acorn Finance, or KWIPPED. Apply with two of the four and compare. Financed equipment can qualify for a Section 179 deduction. Confirm with your accountant.
Every page below has real prices, real monthly payment examples, and the lender comparison for that category. Pick the one you are buying.
Most business buyers are not buying one machine. They are building a room. Sauna, cold plunge, red light, vibration, hyperbaric, cryotherapy, and halotherapy all finance on the same paper through the same four lenders, and RecovAthlete quotes every category on one purchase order.
That means one freight schedule, one install window, and one financing application instead of six. It also gets you a better rate, because a bigger number on one application beats six small ones with six hard inquiries.
See commercial recovery equipment financing, or call 866-861-6317 and we will price the room.
| Lender | Type | Amount | Speed | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Affirm | Consumer, at checkout | Order total | Seconds | Personal purchases. 0% to 36% APR based on credit. Soft check to prequalify. |
| Brickhouse Capital | Direct equipment lender | Up to $250K on a one-page application, $1M+ with financials | ~24 hours | A full room or a full floor. Credit decisions made in-house. Tied to the business, not your personal credit report. |
| Reliant Capital | Lender and broker | Up to $500K application-only, $5M with financials | 2 to 4 hours | Medical, aesthetic, and wellness. Deferred payment options. New or used equipment. |
| Acorn Finance | Lending marketplace | $1,000 to $100,000 | 60 seconds to prequalify | Comparing offers. One application goes to 30 or more lenders with no impact to your score. |
| KWIPPED (APPROVE) | Lender marketplace | Minimum $1,500 equipment value | 60-second application | Larger commercial orders. Lenders compete, which usually returns the best APR. Businesses only. |
Apply with two of the four and compare. It costs nothing and the spread between offers is often significant.

Pay in 4 splits the purchase into four interest-free payments charged every two weeks. Monthly installments spread the cost over a longer term, with rates from 0% to 36% APR depending on your credit profile. You see the exact terms before you agree to anything. No origination fees, no prepayment penalty, no late fees.
Prequalification does not. Affirm and Acorn Finance both run a soft check to show you offers, which has no impact on your score. Proceeding with a monthly installment plan or a business loan may involve a hard inquiry. That is why it pays to prequalify with more than one lender first and only proceed with the best offer.
Yes, and for most business buyers it is the better route. Brickhouse funds up to $250,000 on a one-page application with no financial statements. Reliant approves in 2 to 4 hours. Business financing is usually tied to the business rather than your personal credit report, and financed equipment can qualify for a Section 179 deduction. Confirm the tax position with your accountant.
No. This is the most common and most expensive mistake. Separate applications mean separate hard inquiries, separate payments, and a worse rate on each, because every individual ticket is small. Get one quote from RecovAthlete covering everything you are buying, including freight, and put that single number on one application.
Financed equipment can qualify. Section 179 lets US businesses deduct the cost of qualifying equipment in the year it is placed in service, and financing the purchase does not by itself disqualify it. The equipment must be in service, not merely ordered, within the tax year. Annual limits and eligibility rules are set by the IRS and change year to year, so consult your accountant.
Freight, yes. On Affirm it is part of the order total at checkout. On business financing, put freight on the RecovAthlete quote and the whole quote amount goes on the application. Installation and room construction are harder, because some equipment lenders will not fund non-equipment costs. Ask the lender before you sign.
Yes. Affirm charges no prepayment penalties. Acorn Finance and most business lenders also allow early payoff without penalty.
Tell us what you are buying and whether it is personal or for a business. We will point you at the right two lenders and quote freight and install as one number, which is also the number that goes on the application.
