Sauna costs vary widely based on the type (infrared vs. traditional), size, construction quality, and heater specifications, with options available for a range of budgets. The total cost includes the sauna unit itself plus any electrical work, site preparation, and delivery required for installation. Martin Services sells both infrared and traditional saunas across Powassan, North Bay, and surrounding communities and can help you find the right option for your budget and goals.
Infrared Saunas
Infrared saunas are generally the more affordable option. Entry-level 1 to 2-person infrared cabin saunas start at lower price points and plug into a standard household outlet, eliminating electrician costs. Mid-range infrared saunas offer better construction, more heater panels, upgraded wood species like cedar, and additional features such as chromotherapy lighting and Bluetooth audio. Premium infrared models feature full-spectrum heaters, medical-grade materials, and larger capacities.
Traditional Saunas
Traditional saunas — electric or wood-fired — generally cost more than infrared models. Entry-level traditional sauna kits include the room components and an electric heater, but require assembly and typically need 240V electrical service. Mid-range traditional saunas offer better insulation, premium wood construction, more powerful heaters, and improved ventilation design. Custom-built traditional saunas — built to your specifications on your property — are the premium option and vary significantly in price based on size, materials, and complexity.
Beyond the Unit Price
Budget for the complete project, not just the sauna unit. A 240V traditional sauna needs a dedicated electrical circuit installed by a licensed electrician. Site preparation may include pouring a concrete pad, reinforcing a deck, or building an enclosure. Delivery and placement are additional costs, especially for heavy barrel saunas or large cabin models. Martin Services can walk you through the full cost picture so there are no surprises.
